It looks like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber are all but confirming their long-rumored feud.

The two pop stars appeared to show that there may be some bad blood between them after all over the Easter weekend, after Grande and Bieber both took their feelings towards each other to social media.

But rather than publicly tweeting about any supposed drama between them, it’s actually what Ariana and Justin aren’t doing online that’s got fans talking.

According to Perez Hilton , Grande and Bieber sent their fans into a frenzy after they both opted to unfollow each other on Twitter over the weekend, appearing to confirm past reports that the two haven’t exactly been seeing eye-to-eye in recent months.

But while it’s not clear who opted clicked the unfollow button first, Bieber then appeared to have a change of heart on March 28 after a number of social media fans noted that Justin had opted to re-follow Ariana on the social media site.

Posting a screen shot of a follower check confirming that Bieber is now once again following Grande, Justin fan @zazou_kenza tweeted “Your turn Ariana,” after which Ariana fan account @ArianatorAware tweeted out that Ariana has now also once again followed Justin on the site.

The big Twitter drama between Bieber and Grande comes after months of speculation that the two, who used to be friends, have been locked in a pretty nasty feud.

Hollywood Life claimed earlier this month that there was drama brewing between the two after Bieber invited Ariana Grande’s ex-boyfriend, Big Sean, to perform with him on a recent stop on his Purpose world tour.

The site alleged at the time that Justin’s Big Sean duet was actually a calculated move on Bieber’s part, which was supposedly his way of showing he and the rapper had ended their own feud, which supposedly began when Bieber performed a flirty duet with Ariana after the two split in 2015.

Hollywood Life also suggested that there was bad blood brewing between Ariana and Justin after a source close to Bieber confirmed that the “What Do You Mean?” singer will definitely not be inviting Grande to duet with him on stage anytime soon.

“Justin had the most amazing time performing with Big Sean and will without a doubt invite him back on stage during his Purpose tour,” a source said, adding that “Justin will continue to surprise fans at his concerts with specials guests. However, Ariana Grande won’t be one of them.”

Though neither Bieber nor Grande have confirmed or denied reports that they’re not exactly each other’s biggest fans right now, Ariana did recently part ways with her manager, Scooter Braun, who also manages the “Sorry” singer’s career.

Ariana has yet to publicly speak out about her decision to move on without Braun, though Radar Online claimed at the time that Justin was in fact the main reason Grande opted to find herself a new manager following Bieber’s recent flirty comments on social media.

Back in January, Bieber appeared to get a little over-affectionate with Ariana on Instagram when a number of fans captured screen shots of the comment “Damn Ariana u look so good,” which Justin supposedly commented on Grande’s flirty video.

Tellingly, Grande then took to Twitter to write “lol no” following Justin’s remarks, before following up her initial tweet with the message, “Not today satan!!!!!! gtg finish this music & live my cute, drama free life!!” which many fans speculated was Grande’s response to Justin’s Instagram comments.

Ariana’s boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, also got in on the social media exchange with a pretty scathing remark of his own, tagging Bieber in a comment on the social media site that read “Keep looking player … I already told you she does.”
