Paige Niemann has become well-known for looking so incredibly like Ariana Grande, and the pair have even exchanged DMs in the past. However, some of Ariana’s fans aren’t best pleased with Niemann’s new posts.

While her Instagram post racked up over 175,000 likes, and Niemann had asked for what everyone thought of her doing more creations, the comments have been turned off.
The TikToker had also asked that people “don’t send hate” in her caption too, but it seems as if the backlash from fans of the singer overwhelmed the comments section.

i truly hope she stops using ariana for clicks, likes & money. i hope she seeks the help she needs, and most importantly i hope that ariana is doing alright. i cant actually imagine how terrifying it must be to see people attempting to resemble you / your indentity.

While the TikToker has said previously that she’s become less of a fan of Grande given all the drama surrounding her simply resembling the singer, her popularity has come because of it.
It remains to be seen if she’ll continue the recreations given the backlash, but it is clear that they’re popular with plenty of others.
