Singer Ariana Grande doesnt call herself "diva" and insists that she's just determined.
The 21-year-old, who was spotted at MTV European Music Awards in Glasgow Sunday, admitted in an interview with The Sun newspaper that when people say she's unfriendly and demanding, it bothered her at first but now she has decided to ignore them,reports mirror.co.uk.
"I stick to the truth. I know my truth. I pay attention to the positive," she said.
"For a while I was very upset by it, the negativity, but then I realised it's not my business what others think of me. It's my business to stay grounded and focused and not get derailed by any negativity.
"I've completely detached myself from it. I know what's real. There's a big difference between being determined and being a bitch. A lot of people don't understand that.There are a lot of unfair assumptions that everyone is making," she added.
