- Ariana Grande upset a lot of people after her recent interview with Billboard. She is being accused of "blackfishing" because her personality traits and appearance have drastically changed from when she first came into the public eye.
Is that what's happening, or are people overreacting? We look into the issue.

Blaccent is the incorrect term. Ebonics is the correct term and it is nothing new. Don't come for me bc I am actually black. In my opinion, Ari was just trying to sound sassy. She is pretty respectful herself and I can't see her doing this intentionally.
Nice how people are already being dismissive in the comments, and saying how this topic is ridiculous and everyone should just move on, nothing to see. But you as a creator did not shy away from this topic, so thank you.
You explained it very well. If people do not get it after your explanation, they are choosing not to get it.
Spill good job you deserve it ☺️
She sings like Black people too. Hitting high notes and shit.
Yeah no, she lives in LA. That's how people talk these days. LOL.
Oh wow, she changed as a person over 10+ years? Who could have seen that coming
Its simple. She doesnt wanna be pale anymore so she tans. Ppl be looking way into things
*woah vicky has left the chat*
People really be overreacting nowadays
Lord God, she changed her tone for comedic value. I can't stand this idea that no one is allowed to get a spray tan or use inflection in speech for comedy or to portray a particular feeling.
This whole controversy is absolutely ridiculous. Goes to show that people rEEEallly are out here looking for reasons to get angry when there are none!!
accents are prone to stick tho maybe she just hangs a lot with people who talk like that so she unconsciously begun to pronounce some words like that and is it a crime to like to be tanned shes not claiming to be black or anything
She speaks in a deeper, darker pitch and tone than when she was a teen. That's completely normal. Especially considering that she surrounds herself in a lot of black people, who may also use a "blaccent" and people adopt the speaking patterns of the people they are around. Ariana is genetically of a skin that can tan drastically. I'm dating a southern Italian girl, in the winter, she is as pale as me (I'm of north european decent), but in summer she is as dark as a mixed person. Ariana maintains her tan year round to keep her marketing images the same.
Also she literally had major vocal issues including tongue glottal and throat tension.
her mom literally admitted that she gets spray tans. nothing wrong with that. but going 10 shades darker than your natural skin tone? no
I agree
vera.potok_
That's what I was thinking seeing as she spends time around people like nikki. It'd be different if she started acting flat out stereotypical ghetto and such (stereotypical black people things I personally hate that people mock to look good...)
Finally someone says it
This is what makes this channel different the research & not speaking on a topic you’re not well versed in
Little Flower @those drama channels who just talk about tea from other tweets🍵
I agree with you
Ikr I love this queen 👑
Little Flower YYYEEEESSSS❣️🤗
ikr
This whole "black queen" thing definitely got out of hand,North Africans aren't even black they're African she looks Latina at most🤦🏾♀️
Ppl are overreacting like everyone seems to want to do lately. Can people not ever focus on their own lives like holy
I just wanted to say something, the whole thing about Ariana Grande being black is a whole joke on twitter. People even call her Africana Grande sometimes. Just a reminder to not always take the internet so seriously, especially on Twitter. A lot of it is sarcastic af.
honestly shes just fake tanning and so do a lot of people, no big deal. people reading into this too much.
I'm ready for my fix of tea and facts
1000th like
Can we talk about how she speaks with 3 different tones
when i first found you i thought of you as a drama channel and i loved it but now i dont really see you as that anymore. You just inform people of others like wrongdoings and stuff and explain it very well. did that make sense? like i dont see you on the same level as channels like here for the tea or snapped or channels like that anymore. You dont just report drama. You talk about an issue that happened and then you go into detail about it and bring in outside sources to help you explain things and i really enjoy it. You do more than making sure we get the entire story of something. You make the issue more important than the person who did it and you explain like why it is wrong and how not to make the same mistake. I really really enjoy your videos. I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos and your research and your citations and everything. You really deserve more views than you get. I love you queen
I definitely agree! You make very good points, and I can see where you are coming from.
I thought you were hating until I pressed read more 0-0
This comment finally made me sub.
I'll admit that I watch some drama channels but I try not to sub to them because I don't want to focus on others people's drama, I don't want to be consuming gossip all of the time.
But what you said is right, this isn't just about the drama but the subject of why this is a serious issue. That is something that often gets lost when we focus on the people aaaand their actions and not why people may be upset about it.
It's like the kneeling protest. Now it isn't about what Colin's kneeling about but the fact that he chooses to kneel and if he has a right to protest.
Aaa
Imnotcrazyyourcrazy PREACH 💖🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 she truly deserves the best for being one of the most hardworking youtubers
Maybe she is speaking like the people she is surrounding herself with. Just saying.
watch the entire video before commenting
The sources you used were very enlightening about "blackfishing" and why it's offensive. I understand better now, thank you !
Just curious, what do you think of hispanics being included in the defnition of blackfishing?
Izzy BlueSky Thank you for understanding, I appreciate you
I notice that a lot of people in the comment section are reducing this very well explained video on a larger issue to "People are over-reacting". Is that really all you drew from this?
She is not black fishing
Wow! A channel which actually does REAL research before a video, I like it!
Funny how ppl can get upset over everything. Like, she’s just talking in a certain way! Calm down!
Most of the comments are from people who only read the title and didn’t watch the entire video and LISTEN to what she’s saying. Lots of great info in here, thank you for doing your research!
People are overreacting 😂 😂
I'm sorry but it's not that deep people
Honestly I don't see the problem with Ariana, personally don't see it as an issue more as people are overreacting about it
Oohhh the drama and tea keep me living
Watch the WHOLE video before you comment!!
People saying it’s just fake tan and she’s speaking like her friends clearly didn’t watch the whole video 🤦🏻♀️
Only reading the caption and overreacting. Superficial 🙄
This is a pretty well researched and interesting cultural perspective.
This comment section
I watched the video and I understand
Or
sO aM I bLaCk cAUse I tAN
*Woah Vicky has left the chat*
Exactly I think it’s funny when the internet decides to cancel someone they go hard, Iggy got cancelled right away, but Ari nope I swear people freak out over the craziest things there are so much more important things going on in the world today then to care about Ariana Grande period and her skin tone and the way she talks I could care less about that! Like I said people are to offended so easily nowadays I miss the good old days when you could just be you and people didn’t give a damn and worried about the real problems! I pray people will leave this issue alone and start creating discussion on more serious things! Great channel and love your research and your openness on the matter your not one way or another just wanted to say great video keep up the amazing work!
she picked up the blaccent from nikki
Honest to God thought she was hispanic...
I’m half Italian and I tan VERY easily, especially in the summer.
wait what is happening
My favourite part of this video is when the actual history of racism, and why these things matter.
My father is from Sicily and some of my uncle do naturally have darker skin tone similar like hers
damn this video got deep real quick.
Ur channel is basically like a whole school research about a certain topic....and i LOVE IT
I’m so glad you talk about real social issues, not just youtube drama. Your insight and research is impeccable. So grateful for you channel!
Unfortunately, this topic is so much deeper than Ariana Grande but you did an amazing job with this video. A main issue for this topic is trends. Some trends are good; some are bad. "Trend" is defined as "a general direction in which something is developing or changing". "Culture" is defined as "the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively". Being an African-American woman, part of me takes it as a compliment that my heritage and culture are seen as being part of a developing and changing of the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement. Thanks so much for this compliment. :-D However, the other part of me is really trying to figure out why any other culture would borrow so heavily from another culture and then refuse to support EVERYTHING associated with that culture.
This is where the problem lies and why many African-Americans are irritated and bringing up "cultural appropriation" for the slightest of things nowadays. It's like people who don't support the "Black Lives Matter" movement but listen to mostly Hip-Hop and rap. It's like people not speaking out against this whole "Build a Wall" bullshit but having the nerve to celebrate Cinco de Mayo while eating at the Mexican restaurant and having a Margarita wearing a damn sombrero. Same is said for celebrating the lie that is Thanksgiving and wearing Native American headdress for aesthetic reasons while ignoring that sacred Native American lands are being destroyed so oil companies can lay down a pipeline. In fact, if ANY part of a person's day has them praising the intellectual achievements of any other culture that is not theirs, but they don't support the movements that are fighting to end discrimination towards those ethnic peoples...well, that's the definition of a hypocrite. This isn't a buffet-style existence where you can just take all the good aspects of an ethnicity and leave the bad elements...that's disrespectful and wrong....period.
You can't support just the good parts of a culture while ignoring the problems that come with being a part of that ethnicity. That's the basis of this debate and always will be. People need to really understand that what's right isn't always popular; and, what's popular isn't always right. Borrowing anything without giving proper credit and support is stealing; and, there's nothing good about being a thief. PS. I know Ariana shows love to all anti-discrimination movements so this is not directed at her in any way. Plus, Ariana is Italian and they are not considered white. Lastly, it was just that one word; so, kinda silly to bash the girl just for the word "juice"....I've seen and heard waay worse. Sorry, this was long but I just had to get it off my chest.
You are literally the only person I go to when I need an update on the drama
*thats my jUiCe ok*
love how much research and effort u put into ur videos
Ok people need to get a life
This channel is so amazing, using facts and research to back up what you’re saying, and to back up other people opinions. You give all sides of stories instead of just giving unjustified opinions. I have a lot of respect for what you do xx
Mm I’m half Italian and during the summer I tan so crazy.
The topic that you are talking about is important but ariana ain't it. A lot of white girls do it all the time on Instagram. It does need to be talked about.
I've always been so insecure for my lips being big, my hair being curly and big, and being pale af....I guess it's in?
I love your take on this. Your comments section could stand to watch this video over a couple times though. to really get a grasp of what you’re saying. 1. Educate yourself & 2. Be more sensitive to cultures that are NOT your own.
You really took it upon yourself to u n d e r s t a n d that racial fetichism is an actual real life thing. You took the time to see a POC perspective and for that I thank you.
Thank you for being a decent person as well 💖
She's changed as she's grown up, how is that bad?
Also, no one did this when woah Vicky said she was black when she wasn't, but now people are making a fuss about Ariana Grande getting a tan and having a different voice then when she was a teen?
the live chat was wild lmao 😂
We love a well-informed queen
*makes tea for video*
It seems like no one actually cared about what was being talked about in the video but just to defend Ariana. That's fine and all but it was just used to open a conversation about. But no "everyone is so sensitive". Actually, watch the rest of the video.
girl!!! i feel so informed, thanks!
Ariana Grande has changed so much
Great unbiased video. Great job! New sub. 👍👍👍👍
This is the kind of channel that deserves millions of followers. So informative and truly adds to important conversations that we all need to be having !!
Why does everything has to do race? So tanning is mocking African Americans? A lot of girls I know (in my country) love the tanned look and they tan. Are they mocking them? No.
So I don’t really think what Ariana is doing is offensive, but I do think the blaccent accent in general is a problem when people like Iggy or Macklemore does it just to appear black so they can make some money. This video was really enlightening but I don’t think Ariana is the source of the problem. But I’m happy someone is addressing this whole blackfishing situation because that seriously pisses me off
I really appreciate you handling all topics with respect even if they're controversial. Many people are dismissive.
Love you and keep up the good work!
such a great video! i love how you go into detail and bring in psychology and research into it. and then you also bring up a possible solutions to these problems.
people are so sensitive, it really is a snowflake gen
I like this channel!💯It seems like you guys do your research,and you don't just talk out of your arse😂 You have earned a new subscriber 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just found out about this channel and now I’m obsessed. I have watched so many videos today... I’m concerned for myself😝🤣😂
This channel isn't about drama I more look at it as an informative one and you base more on facts and different informations and research. You are obviously not biased. I love it.
hmmm that "juice" sound very familiar * cough cough " kardi b ' s juice
I keep hearing the word cultural appropriation. this video helped me understand what it is. I seen a lot of the things you’ve said. I was confused but this really helped!
& I think I agree that Ariana is using a sassy voice & she tans. I’m not 100% sure but that’s my guess. I enjoyed the video !
Love how thoroughly you dive into these topics, great job! Xx
Thank you so much for doing a video on this.. very educational! x Love your channel
i can tell you put a lot of work in this video, all the sources you’ve found and quoted.. i love your videos so much! keep up the awesome work.
This channel honestly blows my mind.
The topic of this video is very interesting and rarely ever discussed. Great video as usual.
I love the fact you did your research
I love your research, and yur animation. Thanks for this topic. Happi holidazes
I love this channel. I'd love seeing you get to that 1 millyyy!
Great video! I love how you compiled so much useful information from pop culture figures and researchers
You did a great job with thos video! It is appreciated sis!
The live chat was a mess and I'm so sorry for that. I thought your video was very interesting and I felt like you dig a little bit more than usual and I like it. However I'm not really sure about the structure, it felt a bit messy at some points and we were losing the main focus I feel. Love you lots keep the good work 😘
I'm black without proper lighting
I love your videos so much. The animation, transitions, the way you present the tea, it's amazing. I'm really glad I came across your channel. Keep it up!
Okay but what if it was somebody else? Her fans would find a way to defend her even If She killed somebody.
I love how in depth you go into this!
guys, it means.... love yourself
I sometimes wonder if you’ve been in debate before. Also you should be a public speaker, everything you’ve done makes total sense with the right research and I’m in love with everything tbh.
Thank you! Love this video and the message!
I've learned so much from this video
This is one of your best videos to date! Thank you so much for this educational video
*everyone comes in defense*
Honestly it's just a video stating something... That is what her content meant to be a commentary on celebs and people informing the audience on what is widely controversial, literally watch whole video before ranting and being hype, it's not even against Ariana but a discussion. Jesus Christ calm TF down.
Wow, this video was very informative.
I'm half Dutch and Half Indonesian, I am also a part german and spain.
I'm not considerd as white, or black. Many people call me tan, so it's fully understandable for Ariana. She's neither Black or White but just Tanned naturally. People can easily change over days.
You really did great with this video, thanks for making it!
spill the tea sis
What's wrong with Americans and making a big deal out of everything
Okay so. I dont think she does blackface. But I think that it is a great diskussion.
i like your videos they feel really educational.
