Adding: 'His grandma passed away a few days later and she hasn’t even called to check up on him. They’re done!'
But a rep for Ariana told Mail Online that the reports have no basis and are 'absolutely' false.

It appears the couple spent Christmas Day apart, as Big Sean's grandmother died on December 23, according to his social media post, of which he added an Image and a tribute message:

'My grandma passed away a couple days ago. I haven't said anything to anyone because honestly I feel like she's still here.'
