Frankie Grande’s ego is small—but he’s still Grande.
That’s why the Broadway star had a fiery response to Big Brother’s Kamu Kirk after the contestant made a comment about his sister Ariana Grande during the Live Eviction portion of the Aug. 8 episode.
In a livestream from the show, Kamu yelled into the ether, “Frankie Grande, tell your sister to hit me up!”
And Frankie wasted no time coming up with the perfect response.
“Not a f--king chance Kamu,” Frankie wrote in an Aug. 6 tweet alongside a selfie of him at Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine tour. “You can eat my ass.”
For dedicated fans of Big Brother, Kamu and Frankie’s latest back and forth is just the tip of the iceberg where their beef is concerned.
The Titaníque star previously called for Big Brother to remove Kamu, as well as fellow contestant Rick Devens from the latest season for anti-drag comments they made during the stream last month.
“Um. What the f--k is this horses--t?!” Frankie, who appeared in season 16, wrote in a July 18 post on X. “Get these homophobic bigots out of the f--king house IMMEDIATELY.”
Grande later clarified his criticism of Rick, admitting he did not have enough context to know for sure if he agreed with Kamu’s take.
“Regardless, men behaving in a repulsed or shocked way when a man dresses feminine or in women’s clothing is homophobic,” Frankie added in a separate tweet. “Period.”
Big Brother, nor Kamu or Rick have addressed Frankie’s comments directly.
Meanwhile, Frankie has always been a fierce protector—and supporter—of his little sister. Although Ariana’s rep confirmed she would be taking time away from the spotlight following “public scrutiny” concerning her health earlier this month, Frankie previously emphasized how happy he was for her for embarking on the Eternal Sunshine tour.
“I'm just so proud of her,” he told E! News in June. “I was literally texting her like, 'The looping machine!' And then I would like swipe away, and then I'd be like, 'You're flying!'"
Indeed, Frankie believes his sister’s talent is truly just like magic.
"She is the greatest live vocalist of our generation, absolutely no question,” he mused. “She's an unbelievable artist. The fact that she gets to show all of that on stage—I'm so proud of her.”
