WASHINGTON: American singer and songwriter Ariana Grande set the record straight after fans recently speculated that she and Kanye West collaborated on the title track of his newly released ‘Donda’ album, which dropped on Sunday.
According to E! News, though the 44-year-old rapper alleged that Universal Music Group released his album early, there’s no denying people eagerly listened to his music and tried decoding each lyric. In fact, some of them went ahead and believed that the “positions” singer teamed up with Kanye after hearing background vocals in the album’s title track that sounded eerily similar to hers.
Ariana, however, took to Instagram Stories on Monday to put the rumors to rest.
Writing in a since-deleted post, the Grammy winner revealed that artist Stalone was the voice behind the background vocals. She wrote, “You sound so beautiful @thestalone,” followed by three fire heart emojis.
Re-posting Ariana’s caption, Stalone shared on Instagram Stories, “Still so humbled and excited. Thank you again, Ari.”
Stalone continued to gush over Ariana’s praise of her vocals and shared further proof that she’s featured on the ‘Donda’ track.
