The "Drake & Josh" star is on a tweeting frenzy after the alleged Ariana Grande diss.
Speaking with BuzzFeed, Drake Bell remarked, "There's just a lot of really young, entitled people. I don't think a lot of these young people have to work very hard. They're found on YouTube and, boom, thrown into the studio so they think they can get anything they want."
Ariana's fellow Nick star added, "Ariana Grande is a billionaire before she's been an artist. You have to work to be able to appreciate what you have ... what work did she ever have to do in her life?"
"Ariana Grande's fans told Perez Hilton that he and his son needed to die and get cancer, and she just fed it. It's disgusting," he told BuzzFeed.
Now, Drake is saying "Didn't say that about @ArianaGrande I lover [sic] her and think she is incredibly talented!! Just for the record :)" on Twitter.
The tweet comes after he posted two photos of the "Sam and Cat" star and himself without captions. He also tweeted two videos of the 20-year old crooner showcasing her vocal prowess. "Ariana Grande - Impersonating Some of Her Favorite Artists With Love this is rad! https://youtu.be/2bakD9HSvL8 ," he said in one tweet.
"Ariana Grande da** if only I could sing half this good!! https://youtu.be/24AKYyNusvs ," he said referring to a clip of the singer-actress doing her own rendition of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."
Though Drake Bell seems to be making it clear that he means Ariana no harm, the "Birds of Paradise" voice-over has not tweeted anything about Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, two other music artists he also talked about in the BuzzFeed interview.
"Lady Gaga, who says she's so anti-bullying, was on Howard Stern's 'SiriusXM' show and Howard read all of these awful, awful tweets her fans had been sending him, and asked how she responded to her fans doing the exact antithesis of what she stands for. She said, 'You have to understand, Howard, it comes from a place of love. They don't want to see me get hurt.' I couldn't believe she didn't take a second to address her fans and say how disgusted she was they'd do something like that. But none of them do that. Justin Bieber just tweets, 'Yeah, Beliebers, go hard' when they're attacking somebody," he told the outlet.
