Pop singer Ariana Grande‘s representative has come forward to clear the air on weekend rumors about her father warning hip-hop boyfriend Big Sean about getting too intimate with her.
According to reports, the Instagram account linked to Grande’s dad was bogus.
UPDATE: A publicist for Ariana Grande says the Instagram account (that is set to private) attributed to Edward Butera is fake. That begs the question, who on earth has the time or inclination to masquerade as a celebrity’s parent? Big Sean, meanwhile, may resume commenting on the city of his birth. (Refinery 29)
Reports claim the controversial post went up a few days ago.
On Tuesday, rapper Big Sean uploaded an otherwise unremarkable selfie to Instagram captioned “I give her that D… #Detroit,” an impossibly subtle reference to his verse on 2012’s “Mercy,” his city of origin and also his penis. (Gawker)

Sean recently dished on what type of support Ariana gave him when it came to music-making.
“She’s super supportive. It’s cool, because she was a fan of mine before anything. The first thing she said when she met me was, “Yo, I love your music,” and she rapped my verse from “Gang Bang” with Wiz Khalifa. She was just an actress on TV at the time. She’s very open-minded. I’m proud of her.” (Rolling Stone)
Earlier this year, Sean invaded a Grande Detroit concert to perform a few songs and get lovey with his publicized wifey.
Fresh off the No. 1 debut of his third album, Dark Sky Paradise, the Detroit rapper made sure to be back home for Grande’s show and didn’t take long to make his presence known, rapping on stage as she floated above on a cloud-shaped platform during “Best Mistake.” Big Sean was back three songs later for “Right There,” his feature from her 2013 album, Yours Truly; this time the two were on stage together, sharing a little PDA and even a kiss.
