Ariana Grande has insisted that she doesn't pay heed to negative rumours.

The singer has been dogged with gossip in recent months that say she has been acting like a 'diva' whilst working.

The US star has responded to this accusation in a new interview with The Sun by saying:

"There's a big difference between being determined and being a b**ch. A lot of people also don't understand the difference between being kind and being stupid.

"I mean. I stick to the truth. I know the truth. I pay attention to the positive. For a while I was very upset by it, the negativy."

Grande meanwhile won the Best Song prize at the MTV EMAs in Glasgow on Sunday (November 9) for her track 'Problem'.
