Big Sean and Ariana Grande’s split made headlines this week, and now competing stories are making the rounds about what went wrong. None of it has been confirmed by either of them, so consider all of it rumor for now.
One report, first published by TMZ, claimed that Ariana used Justin Bieber to get back at Big Sean. Bieber joined Ariana on stage at a Los Angeles show and hugged her from behind. Ariana was seen pushing him away, but the report claims Big Sean believes the moment was intentional. A theory is not a fact, and no one has said that was the case.
According to sources cited in these reports, Big Sean ended things because he felt Ariana was immature. The sources claim he was upset that she skipped his February House of Blues performance to prepare for the Grammy Awards, which he allegedly saw as selfish. They also claim he was frustrated by the cost of flying private to see her. Sources close to Ariana tell a different story. They say she covered most of the bills, including trips and private flights.
Neither Big Sean nor Ariana Grande has publicly commented on these specific claims. Breakups are rarely simple, and two sets of sources telling two different stories is a good sign that the full picture is not public yet. Baller Alert will update if either of them speaks.
