It was claimed she said she hoped her fans would ‘f***ing die.’

But Ariana Grande appears to have mocked the allegations in a new Twitter post she uploaded on Thursday.

The saucy stunner said she had been ‘laughing out loud’ following the shock claims, in which it is said blasted naive supporters in New York as soon as their backs were turned following a seemingly joyful encounter.

Making a Grande gesture: Ariana has mocked claims she said she hoped all her fans would ‘f***ing die’

The 21-year-old tweeted: ‘Man some of these rumors that have been coming out about me lately actually have me laughing out loud…. really can’t take em seriously.’

It had been claimed the Better Left Unsaid warbler is said to have come out with the astonishing statement while visiting a New York radio station in the summer.

An industry insider had told the New York Daily News ‘She did autographs and pics and was all smiles until she got into the elevator

‘And as soon as the doors shut she said, “I hope they all f***ing die.”‘

Twit: She was forced to make a statement on social media following the embarrassing claims

Her unfortunate alleged choice of words comes on the back of other claims the pop tart is growing too big for her boots.

The Florida favourite caused much wailing and gnashing of teeth when she walked out on a meet-and-greet in Australia, supposedly because she did not appreciate how she was being photographed.

Her lackeys are said to have told snappers, ‘Don’t use natural light’ and ‘Do shoot only from the left side of her face.’

Ariana’s underlings were also reported to have told Australian reporters they were not allowed to ask her about dating, her disastrous Nickelodeon show, a rumoured collaboration with Justin Bieber and, perhaps most bizarrely of all, comparisons to Mariah Carey.

E’s Giuliana Rancic gleefully piled in after her problems Down Under by claiming the singer was hard to work with at last year’s AMAs.

The saucy TV host claimed Ariana nudged her out the way so the camera would get her ‘good side.’

She said: ‘I just felt like it’s one thing if it’s Mariah. Whatever it takes to get Mariah to do an interview.

‘But when you’re new on the block, when you’re trying to earn your stripes, you’re young, you just gotta do what you gotta do.’

She is also said to have been ‘a total nightmare’ earlier this month at a Stand up to Cancer event in Los Angeles and on Monday refused to have individual snaps taken with fans who had paid $495 to have their photo taken with her.

Not skirting the issue: No doubt the saucy popstrel will be hoping she has now put the matter behind her
