Ariana Grande: 'We need to break the double standard'

'Dangerous Woman' songstress Ariana Grande has called for men to remove sexist language from their songs.

She talked to British newspaper The Daily Mirror about the double standard that occurs when men talk about women in their lyrics compared to how people react when women write songs about break-ups, for example.

Grande explained: "When men talk about women in songs it's like, 'Oh hell yeah, hos and b***hes'."

"And if a girl makes a song about a break up then it's like 'Wow, I can't believe she did that', or What a sl*t.' Whether it's the music industry or real-life we need to break the standard and it needs to go away soon."

As previously reported, the beauty also recently opened up about the discovery of her vocal talent and confessed it was her mother, Joan, who first noticed she could sing:

"I think it was one time I was singing in sync in the car with my mom. I was really young... it was something where Jay Z had a high riff at the end and my mom was like, 'hold on' and she rewound it and was like 'hold on can you do that again?' And I was like 'yeah sure' and my mum was like, 'well you have a really good voice.'"
