Ariana fans became suspicious that the rapper was throwing shade at Ari in her latest song 'Bust Down Barbiana' with the lyric 'Killing everybody beat, thank u, next Ariana', but in reality, it couldn't be further from the truth.

Replying to a fan that thought Nicki was being shady, Ari said:

"No silly ass. There will never be anything but love between us ever. she’s been there for me (in real life) every time i’ve needed somebody & i’ll always be there for her. we love each other. bet."

Proving that their friendship runs way deeper than making music together, Nicki quickly got involved insisting they're friends for life and have been supporting each other behind the scenes for a long time.

Nicki wrote back: "Not more than you’ve been there for me behind the scenes. Love you. For life."

As it stands, the pair have five collabs together including 'Bed', 'Side to Side' and 'The Light Is Coming' but as Ari revealed that her upcoming album 'thank u, next' has no features, we shouldn't be getting too excited that they have any new music coming together soon.
