Stuck With U , the duo of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, is number of the top Billboard, which does not please Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose single, Goobi , is third. As an explanation, the rapper, who has just been released from prison for racketeering and attempted murder, among others, explained that the singer had bought her first place.

"I want the world to know that Billboard is a lie. You can buy first place on the Billboard. They bought it with six credit cards. When asked what these cards were related to, Billboard said they couldn't tell us, "he said in a video.
Rather than going into a war of words, Ariana Grande explained to her how the business worked. With great firmness.
Mic drop
"I would like to talk about some things that I don't usually discuss (I don't give my energy to the drama or the bizarre accusations, but that's going too far) ... My fans bought the song. JUSTIN fans bought the song. OUR fans bought the song (no more than four copies each, AS THE RULE WANTS). With them, it's life to death, and I thank God every day for having them in my life, ”she wrote in an Instagram post.

thank u to everybody who supported this song, this cause and made this happen. we love uuuuu so much. 🤍 there's so much to celebrate today. 🤍 however, i would like to say a few things. anyone who knows me or has followed me for a while knows that numbers aren't the driving force in anything i do. i'm grateful to sing. grateful to have people who want to listen. grateful to even be here at all. i didn't have a number one for the first five years of my career and it didn't upset me at all because from the bottom of my heart, music is everything to me. my fans are everything to me. i promise i couldn't ask for another fucking thing. so with this celebration today, i would like to address a few things which i don't usually do (i don't give my energy to drama or strange accusations normally but this has gone a little too far) ... 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). they are ride or die motherfuckers and i thank god every day that i have them in my life. not just when they fight for us to win (even when i ask them not to as i did this week) but because they're some of the greatest people i know. sales count for more than streams. u can not discredit this as hard as u try. 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. be grateful you're even here. that people want to listen to u at all. it's a blessed position to be in. i've had a lot of “almost number ones” in my career and i never said a goddamn thing because I FEEL GRATEFUL TO EVEN BE HERE. TO WANT TO BE HEARD AT ALL .... and you should feel that way too. congratulations to all my talented ass peers in the top ten this week. even number 3. 🥰 and thank u to @billboard for this honor. and thank u to everybody who helped us raise a lot of money for a very important cause this week. love u all a lot.

“Sales matter more than streams. You can't discredit that, whatever you try. To anyone dissatisfied with their place in the charts or who wonders how to discredit a working woman, I ask you to take a moment to acquire a little humility, and to be grateful to be there, to know that people want to listen to you. It is a blessed position. I had a lot of "almost number 1" in my career, but I never moaned about it because I am grateful because I am just being listened to and you should do the same. Congratulations to all of the talented people in this week's Top 10. Even at number 3, ”added Ariana Grande.
Tekashi 6Ix9Ine felt the bellows pass. In a new video, he said he never wanted to go after Ariana Grande personally, but still tried to hang on to the branches.

"You are a magnificent singer, but you do not understand my pain. My frustration comes from Billboard, I speak for the millions of children who come from nothing, "he said, adding that they are" not from the same background "and reiterating his accusations of fraud against the American classification.

One of the rules of the Billboard tops effectively prevents buying more than four copies with a single credit card, to avoid fraud, as Justin Bieber recalled in his Instagram Story.
