During a listening session earlier this week in Chicago, seems as though Ariana Grande is sticking up for her pal, Nicki Minaj, and throwing some major shade towards Travis Scott.

During Ariana’s performance, her manager Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber) walked up on stage and explained to the fans that Ariana’s new album, Sweetener would “100 percent” take over the No. 1 spot, at least for this week.  Ariana then publicly replied, “We have three days left, you don’t know what Travis could pull” (which is in reference to Travis’ current album, Astroworld currently being No. 1 on the charts).

In the video that was posted and shared on Twitter, Ariana’s mom, Joan, began to shake her head after Ariana’s shady comment and even told Ariana to ‘stop.’

Once the video surfaced, Ariana tweeted, “I adore Travis and Kylie and I love the Astroworld album a joke issa joke watch the video, stop using me for clickbait so I can come online n celebrate my number one too please! hip hip hooray!”

It was earlier this week that fans learned Nicki threw shade at Travis on Twitter and according to Pop Crush, “Nicki accused him on manipulating chart data by using his girlfriend Kylie Jenner’s platform to promote his music. She also claimed that the rapper used merchandise and ticket purchases—which came with digital downloads of Astroworld—to count towards overall album sales.”

Nicki tweeted, “I put my blood sweat and tears into writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her and Stormi. lol. I’m actually laughing.  #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus and thank you to my fans.”

And the tTweets just continued …

I love Ariana but I’m not buying it – she definitely threw shade at Travis.
