Everyone loves a good celebrity feud and the latest definitely has no shortage of drama.
Makeup artist and the first ever male CoverGirl James Charles, 18, shared in a 17-minute video posted to his YouTube channel that Ariana Grande, 24, was the ‘rudest celebrity’ he has ever come across.
In the video, James gets his makeup done by fellow YouTubers Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams while he spills the tea on what he said was a ‘crappy experience’ with the pop singer.
Drama: The first ever male CoverGirl James Charles, 18, said that Ariana Grande, 24, was the ‘rudest celebrity’ he has ever come across
Where it began: It all started when James went to an Ariana, 24, show in Los Angeles last year and posted a bunch of Instagram Stories from the night
It all started when he went to her show in Los Angeles last year and posted a bunch of Stories on social media from the night.
Ariana ended up seeing the vlogger’s Stories and DM’ed him, thanking him for coming to her concert.
She even told James that she would have loved for him to come backstage at her show if she had known he was going to be there.
James explained, however, that this all took place at around the same time he became embroiled in a few online ‘scandals’, which he admits in the video didn’t sit well with Ariana’s fans.
‘This was right after all my scandals started happening so I was getting a bunch of really angry tweets from her fans that were really mad that she had followed me,’ he said.
First, in February, James was blasted online over an insensitive tweet that saw him discuss the possibility of contracting Ebola on a trip to Africa.
The tweet said: ‘I can’t believe we’re going to Africa today, omg what if we get Ebola?’
James quickly deleted the tweet and issued an apology, in which he called Africa a country, only after he avoided taking responsibility for the thoughtless remark.
Twitter was quick to point out his mistake and James later explained that he was referring to South Africa, where he traveled, and apologized for the word choice.

Backstage access: Ariana even told James that she would have loved for him to come backstage if she had known he was going to be there
And about a month later, an ex-BFF exposed James and revealed that his high school yearbook photos, which catapulted him to fame, were actually Photoshopped to make it look like he had flawless makeup.
Ariana, of course, heard of the criticism from his self-described ‘scandals’ and quickly unfollowed James on Instagram.
He said: ‘And literally four hours later I started getting tweets to me like, ‘wow Ariana unfollowed James, the rat gets what he deserves’ and like, ‘wow, love karma.’ So I was like ‘what the heck?’ and I checked back and she did actually unfollow me, like, literally three hours after she had followed me in the first place!’
After he realized that Ariana unfollowed him, he messaged her and asked if he did something wrong.
Scandals: Ariana followed him around the same time that his ‘scandals’ were happening
Criticism: James was getting a bunch of really angry tweets from Ariana fans that were really mad that she had followed him
Disappointed: After seeing the disapproval, Ariana unfollowed him and said that she wouldn’t want to disappoint her fans
She then responded saying that she saw a lot of angry tweets from her fans and that she would never want to ‘disappoint’ them, hence the unfollow.
James responded with a ‘strongly worded message’ saying that it was disappointing that she would stoop to the level of ‘people bullying me just to appease them.’
‘It really sucked that I was getting bullied by her fans and instead of ignoring it and building a friendship, she listened to them and unfollowed, which is saying that’s okay to do – that was disappointing interaction,’ he said.
James had never told anyone about the interaction, until now, but added that he doesn’t have hard feelings about it and thinks she is an extremely talented artist.
But after the video was posted, James tweeted that he was ready for backlash from Ariana fans.
Still a fan: James had never told anyone about the interaction but added that he doesn’t have hard feelings and thinks she’s very talented
Coming for him: After he shared the video, James tweeted that he ‘couldn’t wait for his wig to be snatched’ by Ariana fans.
The tweet said: ‘Can’t wait for my wig to be snatched by ag4 hope everyone’s having a lovely day.’
Since he shared the post, some Ariana fans have definitely not held their tongues and replied to his tweet with their thoughts on the drama.
One tweet said: ‘After all that drama you made? Girl bye, Arianators don’t claim you.’
Another person tweeted: ‘Y’all need to chill, everyone just wants to start some drama. He had a rude encounter, acknowledged it, and moved on, why can’t y’all?’
And it would seem that Ariana has moved on as she has yet to comment on the so- called ‘crappy interaction’.
But this isn’t the first time the makeup guru has come under fire for sharing something in A YouTube video.
Last October, James posted a Pennywise-themed tutorial after calling the movie It ‘awful’ and making it clear he didn’t enjoy the Stephen King adaptation.
And even mentioned in the beginning of the video that he expected to get flak for the clip saying: ‘I know everybody’s going to say this is the most hypocritical, ironic video of 2017 so far and you’re probably right.’
