Ariana Grande's brother slams Kanye West as he drags Mac Miller into divorce row

Ariana Grande's brother Frankie has hit out at Kanye West, denying allegations he made about Pete Davidson sending intimate images of Ariana to her ex Mac Miller.

Rapper Kanye, 44, claimed at the weekend that Saturday Night Live comedian Pete, who is dating Kanye's estranged wife Kim Kardashian, had shared intimate photos of Ariana Grande during their brief engagement.

Ariana was reportedly so upset by Pete's actions, especially with Mac dying in 2018, she ended their relationship but this has all been denied as just idle gossip by Kanye.

While Ariana has kept her silence on the allegations, her brother Frankie, 39, has said that Kanye is "stirring the pot" as Kim and Pete's relationship gets stronger.

Speaking to TMZ, Frankie hit back at Kanye as he looked to drag Ariana into his divorce from Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, Kim.

Frankie said: "Listen, I've never heard of that in my life, but listen, Kanye loves to stir the pot."

While walking with his fiancé, actor Hale Leon, Frankie continued: "So nothing that he says ever surprises me at all.

"But I wish nothing but the best to him and to his family and to Pete and to everyone involved, especially on today, which is Valentine's Day."

Frankie added that he "never in my life" heard any rumours like Kanye suggested.

He added: "My philosophy is, I'm never going to tell anyone how to live their life, or what to do.

"All I can do is lead by example in my own life and say that I would never spread rumours about people or say anything or open my mouth where it doesn't belong, and I would just hope that the rest of the world can like take my lead and go with it."

Frankie continued: "We can't control other people and that's a thing I feel like we need to learn as a society. Try to stay in your own lane but live your own life with integrity and try to inspire other people to do the same."

Frankie also spoke about speculation that Pete might only be dating Kim "for clout" as it elevated him up the celebrity 'rankings'.

This was something that Frankie didn't think would be a reason though, saying: "Honestly, Kim Kardashian is one of the hottest people on the planet. I love her with my entire heart. There are a billion reasons to date Kim Kardashian, so I think that that is silly.

"I mean, I'm gay and I would date Kim. I'm engaged. That's my fiancé, but if Kim Kardashian said, 'Frankie Grande, I wanna date you,' I'd be like, 'Sorry Hale, we're going on a break for a bit.'"
