Justin Bieber slams Tekashi 6ix9ine’s ‘lies’ after rapper insists Ariana Grande bought Billboard #1

JUSTIN Bieber has waded into a new feud between Tekashi 6ix9ine and Ariana Grande, after the rapper alleged Billboard had been paid off to give the singers the number one spot.

It all kicked off earlier on Monday when Tekashi shared a video in which he claimed you can “buy number ones on Billboard” and that Ariana‘s team had purchased 30,000 units “with six credit cards.”

“They bought 30,000 unsold units with six credit cards. Enjoy your number one but explain how you buy 30,000 with six credit cards,” he said.

Ariana and Justin‘s charity collaboration Stuck With U was named number one by Billboard on Sunday; Tekashi 6ixNine’s Gooba came in at number three.

All net proceeds from the track Stuck WIth U will be donated to the First Responders Children’s Foundation which will scholarships of children of frontline workers whose lives have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ariana later responded to thanks her fans for supporting the song but added: “My fans bought the song. JUSTIN’S fans bought the song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE).”

She went on to insist that “sales count for more than streams” and that the rules cannot be discredited “as hard as u try.”

She continued: “To anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women (and only the women for some reason…..), I ask u to take a moment to humble yourself.”

She concluded: “Congratulations to all my talented ass peers in the top ten this week. even number 3. and thank u to @billboard for this honor.”

Tekashi, however, was not going down quietly, responding with a video in which he claimed he was “humble” but that she would never understand “his background.”

“All I’m saying is I worked super hard to make it out of Brooklyn NY,” he captioned the video.

“I speak for the millions of kids who aren’t as fortunate as you. The millions who weren’t fortunate to be on TV. LIFE is REAL when you’re on welfare LIFE is REAL when you grow up without a father.

“You don’t know what that is like.

“You say for me to be humble.. I don’t think you know what humble is………. YOU ARE VERY TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL GOD BLESS YOU. But you will NEVER UNDERSTAND MY PAIN.”

Justin, who worked with Ari on the song, then insisted that Tekashi use his name as well as Ariana’s, writing: “This is my song with Ariana Grande and I’m honored to work with her to help raise money for a great cause.

“If you’re gonna say her name, make sure you say mine, because it’s our song.”

He also claimed that Tekashi’s reports were a “lie”, writing: “He said 30k was bought with six credit cards but that is a lie.

“The rules are clear one credit card can buy max 4 copies. Anything over that the entire amount gets thrown out.”
