Ariana Grande: 'Rihanna wasn't laughing at me, she was being playful and supportive'

'Problem' songstress Ariana Grande has spoken out about the reports that suggest Rihanna was laughing at her at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards during her performance of new single. 

During a new interview with Australia's radio program The Bump Show, Grande was asked about the footage, which shows Rihanna giggling while she was on stage performing, and she explained that the 'Diamonds' beauty was nothing but supportive:

"I didn't see her laughing at me, but when I watched it afterwards, it looked like she was just shocked because I was doing something different. Afterwards, she was so kind to me, she was like, ‘Lil' mama keep doing what you're doing because it's working.'"

"I thought it was funny that people tried to make such a commotion out of it when she was just being playful and supportive. People are always trying to make a big deal out of nothing because they're bored."
