After breaking music chart history with her iconic pop banger album 'Thank U, Next', Ariana Grande returns in spectacular fashion with her latest single 'Monopoly', featuring her talented BFF Victoria Monét. There's just no stopping for the Queen of Pop!

However, the new single has brought up some interesting questions concerning Ariana's sexuality. It's no surprise that the song's lyrics, 'I like women and men' sent her fans wild, with many claiming that the singer has 'come out' as bisexual in the single.

Whilst the pop star remained silent on the matter, one fan tweeted saying 'ariana ain’t gotta label herself, but she said what she said.' sic

In true Ariana style, she then responded to these claims of her bisexuality by replying to the fan and tweeting, ' i haven’t before and still don’t feel the need to now 🖤🧚🏼‍♂️ which is okay' sic. Even though she responded to the claims, she still refuses to confirm her sexuality and is happy staying quiet on the whole subject.

The 'Thank U, Next' singer has continually swerved many sexuality rumours over the years, but decided to step in and have her say in response to the speculation that she is bisexual.

The 25-year-old has already caused a stir with the single 'break up with ur girlfriend, i'm bored', which saw the star flirting with a girl in the single's video. Having racked up over 161 million views, the video also teases fans, showing Ariana leaning in to kiss a girl before the video abruptly ends before anything happens. It's no shock then, that fans are questioning her bisexuality.

Swipe to look at Ariana's complete dating history:

Victoria Monét, Ariana's BFF who sings alongside her in the new single 'Monopoly', also responded to the rumours by tweeting she's 'so proud'.

'Monopoly' rocketed to number 1 on US iTunes after its release (1st April), showing that the pop superstar is a force to be reckoned with, and she doesn't show any signs of hanging up her chart-topping crown any time soon.

This comes after Ari delighted fans with an adorable throwback video on Instagram.
