Ariana Grande has never had a problem dabbling with hip-hop culture. Based on her rendition of A$AP Rocky's "F**kin' Problem", and her features ranging from Iggy Azalea, to Big Sean and Mac Miller, she definitely has grabbed the ears of many notable artists in the genre. One happens to be A$AP Ferg. During his interview with MTV News, A$AP Ferg referred to the songbird as being the next Mariah Carey. Audacious or not, Ferg seems to think she got next.

"She's the next Mariah Carey. She's dope," Ferg said "And that's not an understatement, or an overstatement — I just see her as that next big voice that's gonna pop."

He will be featured on her sophomore album My Everything, on the song "Hands on Me", which he said was a "dope song."
