So I was at the mall today wearing my cat ear headphones (Which are amazing and you should get them if u can find them in ur price range, i got mine second hand for $30) and someone called them “Ariana Grandes” which is v annoying to me because Ariana Grande did not design them.
Yes, there are versions that are sponsored by Ariana (the silver ones which have her signature on the side) but the original ones, and the design overall was created by an artist named Wenqing Yan / Yuumei (here’s her website). Websites like buzzfeed have miscredited Ariana with making them (buzzfeed has since added a tiny adendum to their article that clarifies she is the creator but still didnt change the original article lauding Ariana as some sort of genius).
She really really deserves the credit here as being a v talented artist.
So anyway TL;DR: These headphones were made by Wenqing Yan / Yuumei (sold by axent wear) not Ariana. Artists deserve credit for their work.
This might be old news to some ppl but its still annoying.
