Frankie Grande Dismisses Bizarre TikTok Rumor About Ariana Grande Being a Cannibal
In a recent social media frenzy, Frankie Grande, the older brother of pop sensation Ariana Grande, has stepped in to shut down a bizarre and unfounded rumor circulating on TikTok. The viral conspiracy claims that the “Thank U, Next” artist is a cannibal.
Frankie Grande addressed the absurd rumor on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday, June 11. He reposted a story about the conspiracy and expressed his disbelief at the lengths to which people would go to spread such outlandish claims. “Wow! This might be the most creative and lowest y’all have ever gone. Reaching new depths daily!” he wrote.
Frankie, known for his quick wit and protective nature, didn’t stop there. He humorously debunked the theory, reminding everyone that his sister is a committed vegan. “Listen, I know my sister’s been eating the girls up for years but this is a bit extreme! Besides, she’s vegan. See you on tour!” he added, poking fun at the ridiculousness of the situation.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Wow!

The rumor began as a prank, part of an internet trend where fans post exaggerated and false allegations about celebrities. This particular claim spiraled out of control, with some individuals sharing fake stories about police finding human remains and evidence of cannibalism in a Chicago home Ariana sold in 2013.
Despite the absurdity of the rumor, some social media users were genuinely confused and concerned. However, many of Ariana’s fans came to her defense, emphasizing the implausibility of the allegations. “No one with an ounce of sense or any working brain cells actually believes that Ariana Grande of all people is a cannibal… let’s all touch grass and move on from this complete non-issue,” one user commented on X.
Ariana Grande announces she’s taking a break from anything unrelated to ‘Wicked’ in new Instagram story:

Another added, “Ariana is not a cannibal. Stop spreading misinformation to get unannounced concert tickets.” A third person expressed disbelief, asking, “TikTok seriously believes Ariana is a cannibal now?”
While Ariana herself has not addressed the rumor directly, her brother’s prompt and humorous response has helped quell the bizarre speculation. Frankie Grande has always been a supportive sibling, and this incident is just the latest example of him standing up for his sister.
Their close relationship is evident in their public interactions. In April, Frankie celebrated National Siblings Day by honoring Ariana with a heartfelt Instagram post. He praised her for supporting him through his sobriety journey and always being there during significant moments in his life and career.
“You are the best sister anyone could ask for and I’m eternally proud of you and all the sunshine you continue to spread in this world,” Frankie wrote, sharing a picture of the two making goofy faces together.
Ariana, in turn, has shown her support for Frankie, especially after he underwent a nose job. She commented on his post-surgery photo with bandages and bruises, calling him “perfect in all ways, always.”
This incident highlights the power of social media to spread misinformation but also the importance of family support and humor in countering such false narratives. With Frankie’s defense and their fans’ backing, Ariana Grande continues to shine, undeterred by the baseless rumors.
Ariana is not a cannibal. Stop spreading misinformation to get unannounced concert tickets. Absolutely wild. @allurequinn you messed up badly.

It's insane how the cannibalism joke has been an ongoing joke since 2021 used with multiple artists, but it only took Ariana Grande for it to suddenly stop being a joke and become a “reality”, i’ve yet to know what was that awful thing she did to make y’all hate her so much.
