Taylor Swift vs. Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber’s New Music for Charity<\/p>\n

\n

 Tekashi 6ix9ine <\/strong>is learning firsthand that Ariana Grande<\/strong> and Justin Bieber<\/strong>‘s fandoms yield some serious power in the music world. <\/p>\n

The controversial rapper publicly accused the pop music powerhouses of fraudulently climbing their way to the top of the Billboard charts with their recent collab, “Stuck With U.”<\/a> On Monday, Tekashi (whose song “GOOBA” fell short of the top spot to land at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100) posted a video to Instagram claiming that his team launched an “investigation” and discovered that “six credit cards” were used to purchase 30,000 units of the song. <\/p>\n

“When we asked where was those six credit cards linked to, Billboard said we can’t disclose that information,” Tekashi alleged in the video. <\/p>\n

Both Ariana and Justin staunchly denied the allegations. <\/p>\n

“my fans bought the song,” Ariana wrote<\/a> in a lengthy Instagram statement. “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 motherf–kers 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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
