beauty blogger and makeup entrepreneur
who counts over 14 million subscribers
on his YouTube channel making history as
CoverGirl's first male spokesperson and
recently causing a media firestorm with
his morphe palette tour. At just 19 years
old,
James has accomplished a lot in his life
but it hasn't been without some drama. On
a trip to Africa, James once joked about
the possibility of contracting Ebola
making a lot of people mad including
some celebrities. In a makeup tutorial
with Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams, James
revealed one celeb who was particularly
upset over this tweet.
Shane:"Who's been the rudest celebrity you've ever met?" James: "Ariana
Grande."  James details going to Ariana's
show while all of the drama around his
tweet was blowing up. 
James: "I posted a bunch of videos on my story from the
night and the next morning I had woken up when she had DM'd me. So I was gonna make a
bunch of really really angry tweets from
her fans are really bad that she had
followed me and literally four hours
later I started getting to be really 'Wow
Ariana unfollowed James, like the rock
gets what he deserves, like Wow love
karma.' I was like what the heck? So I checked
and she did actually unfollow me." James
DM'd Ariana to see what was really going
on. James: "but I had message her back and I was
a was like hey, did I do something wrong and
she literally was like 'hey babe like I
just saw a lot of angry tweets for my
fans that I would never want to
disappoint them so I unfollowed.'" James
goes on to express how he thinks she
should have handled the situation. James: "You
know 100 million fans, it's actually
disappointing that you would like stoop
to the level of listening to people
bullying me just to like appease them.
But okay. I've always looked up to Ariana
and I think she's one of the most
talented vocalists like of our
generation, but it just really sucked that
like I was a literally getting bullied by
her fans and then set up like just
ignoring me I'm like building a
friendship, she literally could listen to
them and unfollowed which is just like
saying I think that's okay to do." But now
James is working hard to nip any drama
in the bud. James: "Well for me, I've dealt with
so many scandals at this point there's
something is like going around it's like
talking about me, I really don't care
unless it's wrong. Like I just had a
scandal a few days ago on Twitter where
somebody thought I said the n-word well
lip-syncing to a song on Instagram live
and I shut that down real fast because
obviously I didn't and I was not about
to let another racism scandal happen
when I've like fought so hard to like
prove to people
that I am like not a bad person." Since then,
James's channel has grown immensely.
Going from around 2 million at the start
of 2018 to now over 14 million. He
recently explained to the UK media, who
was baffled at how many fans turned up
for his morpheme meet-and-greets why he
thinks his fans resonate with him.
James: "I think it's just relatable for a lot of young
kids who want to work hard and they've
seen the success and it's just inspiring
and it's really cool to be on this
journey and I think a lot of kids love
makeup and they like the artistry and
they also just like watching somebody
that's their age to come a really good
time and make their dreams come true."
Given how much James has grown and how
many collabs he's done with other celebs,
James thinks it's time to bury the
hatchet with Ariana Grande. He tweeted:
"Imagine me and Ariana Grande in a video
glamming, talking about her new album,
everything amazing going on in her life,
and ending our drama? Sounds iconic if
you ask me." And fans agreed, leaving
comment after comment with high hopes
this collab will happen. Ariana who has
her own album coming out
featuring already record-breaking songs
has not publicly responded to James's
pitch. Though she is heavily promoting
her album release on social media,
interacting with fans and rejoicing in
her recent successes. So what do you
think? Will James and Ariana be able to
bury the hatchet? Let us know in the
