Drake Bell believes acts like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande haven't worked for their fame and fortune.

The likes of 20-year-old Bieber found fame through YouTube and subsequently became a massive worldwide name.

This rise to prominence has seemingly irked actor and singer Bell, who believes too many young stars are "entitled" as a result of being pushed without much effort.

He told Buzzfeed: "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." 

Bell added: "Ariana Grande is a billionaire before she's been an artist. You have to work to be able to appreciate what you have, and what work did she ever have to do in her life?"

Speaking meanwhile about dealing with fans and online hate, the Drake & Josh actor said: "Lady Gaga, who says she's so anti-bullying, was on [Howard Stern's radio 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. 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."
