Ariana Grande producer TBHits teases artiste's sixth album, excited fans say 'don't f**k with our feelings'
Grammy-nominated music producer TBHits, whose real name is Tommy Brown, has sent Ariana Grande fans into a guessing frenzy since he posted a throwback photo from October 2018 alongside the incredibly popular singer. The producer captioned his Instagram post in a cryptic manner saying, "6****".
In the image, Ariana and Brown are seen posing outside somewhere in a city, and the producer is showing the victory sign. Ariana, dressed in blue jeans and a long white t-shirt, is stood nonchalantly staring at the sky. The official Pop Crave Twitter account posted a screenshot of the Instagram post writing, "Producer TBHITS teases Ariana Grande’s new album with throwback photo from October 2018, the same month 'Thank U, Next’ was completed. #AG6."

October 2018 is very close to time when Ariana released her fourth studio album, 'Sweetener'. The pop, trap and R&B album featured three tracks produced by TBHits namely 'Better Off', 'Goodnight n Go' and 'Pete Davidson'. 'Sweetener', which contained the popular official singles 'No Tears Left to Cry', 'God Is a Woman' and 'Breathin', reached number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. Around the same time, TBHits and Ariana also finished work on the singer's fifth studio album titled 'Thank U, Next'. The 2019 album – which spawned the hit singles 'Thank U, Next', '7 Rings' and 'Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored' – also debuted atop the Billboard 200 album chart and is certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). On the album 'Thank U, Next', TBHits produced the tracks '7 Rings', 'Needy', 'NASA' and 'Make Up'.
Ever since the producer's post, Ariana fans have been guessing what the four asterisks stand for. According to them, it could mean anything from "days" to "rings". One fan, taking a guess about what TBHits could mean, wrote, "NEW SONG IS COMING AG6 IS COMING PLEASE TELL US!!!!!!!!!!!" while another, guessing the same, commented, "AG6 is coming for my wig. I already know I'mma pop my bussy to AG6." A different fan of the singer excitedly questioned, "PLS TELL ME THIS MEANS 6 DAYS???" Another wrote, "In 6 days it's Friday!!!" One more fan, hoping for a new album soon, said, "DON'T F**K WITH MY FEELINGS," while a different fan, less hopeful than others, wrote, "we getting clowned again."
TBHits, in 2020, has produced the tracks 'Dominican Mami' by DaniLeigh, 'Rich' by Megan Thee Stallion, 'You Can't Hold My Heart' by Monsta X, Blackpink's 'Ice Cream' featuring Selena Gomez and 'Bet You Wanna' featuring Cardi B and 'Holy' by Justin Bieber featuring Chance the Rapper.
