Ariana Grande‘s brother, dancer and actor Frankie Grande, has hilariously weighed in on a viral joke about his superstar sister being a cannibal. The humorous yet bizarre claim has taken the internet by storm, with Frankie offering his own playful take on the situation.
On Thursday, July 11, Buzzing Pop’s X account (formerly known as Twitter) shared a screenshot showing “Ariana Grande cannibalism” as a top TikTok search. The post, captioned, “Fan’s joke about Ariana Grande being a cannibal has gone viral in an effort to deter people away from buying concert tickets,” quickly caught Frankie’s attention.

Frankie Grande, never one to shy away from a laugh, reshared the tweet and added his own flair. “HAHAHAHAHAHA. Wow! This might be the most creative and lowest y’all have ever gone. Reaching new depths daily!” he tweeted. Frankie continued, “Listen, I know my sister’s been eating the girls up for years but this a bit extreme! Besides, she’s vegan. See you on tour!“
The joke appears to be part of a viral trend where fans discourage others from purchasing concert tickets, intending to buy them all instead, according to Entertainment Weekly. However, this particular rumor seems to have deeper roots in Ariana’s recent comments about notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Ariana Grande’s Jeffrey Dahmer Connection
So, where did this wild rumor originate? It seems to have stemmed from Ariana’s recent comments about infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. In a June episode of Penn Badgley’s Podcrushed podcast, Ariana explained, “I was infatuated with serial killers when I was younger. I think I would have loved to have met him. You know, maybe with a third party or someone involved. But I have questions.“
Unsurprisingly, the internet did not take this lightly. Critics slammed Ariana for her “sick and horribly offensive” remarks, particularly given Dahmer’s gruesome crimes. Shirley Hughes, the mother of victim Tony Hughes, told TMZ, “It’s not fancy or funny to say you would have wanted to do dinner with him.” Tony’s sister Barbara called for Ariana to apologize, accusing her of glamorizing Dahmer.
