Ariana Grande gave Ricky Alvarez the worst replica of her success

Ariana Grande mentions a string of her ex in her new anthem I am single, independent, and I do not need a partner, Thank You, Next.

But one of his old flames was more successful than the others.

Ariana, 25, apologizes to her ex-Ricky Alvarez for giving him the "worst replica" in his new single.

Ricky, Big Sean, Pete Davidson and Mac Miller are heard by Ariana and sing: "I thought I would end up with Sean / But he was not doing a match / Wrote a few songs on Ricky / Now I'm listening and laughing / I almost even got married / And for Pete, I'm so grateful / I'd like to thank Malcolm / Because he was an angel. & # 39;

Ricky – a former Ari dancer who attended the popstar from April 2015 to July 2016 – shared his own Instagram broadcast, listening to the new song, and Ariana proved that there was no coolness in the comments.

She wrote: "HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA IM SORRY U IS SHAPED THE WORST LINE. It was intended with love (sic). '

Ricky, 26, replied, "Just gratitude, thank you, next door … (These songs are kindled … you're welcome)"

Ariana wrote Moonlight and True Love about Ricky, while Forever Boy would also be about the dancer.

While Thank You, Next is entirely devoted to the ex-Ari, the song is far from suspicious, the singer thanking her former boyfriends for teaching her lessons of love, patience and pain.

Big Sean and Ricky were both warned before it was released. Ari confirmed on Twitter: "They heard the message before it was published."

Thank you, Next was dropped half an hour before Saturday Night Live aired in the United States – while Ariana's recent ex-fiance, Pete, had to discuss their breakup in a skit.
