Pop princess Ariana Grande apparently hopes all of her fans ‘f–king die’

Here are some photos of Ariana Grande in Japan this week. Should I even waste my words on that schoolgirl ensemble? Nope. It makes me uncomfortable, but let’s just leave it at that. Anyway, Ariana is still traveling around the world, promoting her new album. The album is a massive hit. Ariana is our newest pop princess, and it seems like she’s trying to take Justin Bieber’s #1 North American D-Bag mantle. The NYDN had a great piece yesterday about how Ariana really behaves around her fans, members of the press, and basically everybody else.

Pint-sized pop star Ariana Grande had a choice word for fans after a recent radio show visit: Die! Confidenti@l has learned that while visiting a Manhattan radio station this summer, the 21-year-old “Better Left Unsaid” singer should’ve left her thoughts unsaid.

“She did autographs and pics and was all smiles until she got into the elevator,” a stunned industry insider tells us. “And as soon as the doors shut she said, ‘I hope they all f—king die.’ ”

Allegations of Grande’s obnoxious attitude are nothing new. But they’re suddenly getting their own spotlight now that a nasty pattern has emerged. Reports of Grande’s grouchiness surfaced earlier this month at a “Stand up to Cancer” benefit in L.A., where the U.K.’s Daily Star reported she was “a total nightmare” backstage. Event organizers later released a statement defending their celeb guest.

Grande further dissed fans Monday by offering a $495 photo op for fans during her upcoming “Honeymoon Tour,” but stipulated that shoots are for groups of four to six people, not individuals.

“Really?” exclaimed one media industry tipster. “Bieber, Miley, Britney, Katy Perry all did individual pics when they sold these packages.” Reps for Grande declined to comment.

That photo-op thing seems like the biggest waste of money. Justin Bieber (surprise!) has been accused of acting like a douchebag at those fan photo-ops as well, like he’ll show up late, not even speak to the people paying thousands of dollars, and then the people are literally pushed aside once the photo is taken. As for Ariana’s wish that all of her fans would “die” – well, let’s hope that Ariana’s career dies first. Actually, scratch that. I kind of love covering her. We haven’t had this kind of flagrant diva ‘tude since… well, Justin Bieber!
