A social media post attributed to Ariana Grande has sparked debate online, appearing to show the singer condemning white supremacy and promoting solidarity against hate crimes.
The post led some users to call for a boycott of Grande’s upcoming film Wicked, in which she stars as Glinda.
Supporters stressed that the message did not reflect her official statements and highlighted her history of charitable work, including organizing a benefit concert for victims of the Manchester attack.
Fact-checks indicate that the image circulating online lacks official verification markers, uses a mismatched profile photo, and has previously surfaced in similar hoaxes, including one that falsely attributed the same message to Demi Lovato.
