Pinkis expressing her frustrations with Twitter users who say she’s “shading"Christina Aguilerain a recent interview.
The “Trust Fall” singer, 43, shared in an interview withBuzzFeed’s Sam Cleal this week that 2001’s “Lady Marmalade” was her “least favorite” music video to shoot and “wasn’t very fun to make,” because of what she called “some personalities” on set.
While the music video is a collaboration between Pink,Mya, Lil' Kim, and Aguilera, Pink said that “Kim and Mya were nice” and notably left out Aguilera’s name — leaving fans to believe that she still took issue with the fellow pop star.
“Also- I kissed Xtina[']s mouth,” Pink concluded of the music video. “I don’t need to kiss her ass.”
Also in the Buzzfeed interview, Pink called “Lady Marmalade” “iconic,” but said she cried while making it. “I guess it is iconic, but I remember I kept crying because my skin didn’t like the makeup,” Pink said. “It was just… There was some annoying things happening that day.”
“[Label executive] Ron Fair walked in. He didn’t say hi to any of us and said, ‘What’s the high part? What’s the most singing part? Christina’s going to take that part,'” Pink said of the creation of the 2001 hit, perUs Weekly. “And I stood up, and I said ‘Hi. How are you? So nice of you to introduce yourself. I’m Pink. She will not be taking that part. I think that’s what the f—ing meeting’s about.'”
Both Aguilera and Pink have opened up about each other in the years since the music video, notably when Pink revealed in a 2017 episode ofWatch What Happens LivewithAndy Cohenthat Aguilera “swung at me in a club.” The singer added at the time that they eventually made amends.
“We were super young and super new at the whole thing, and I think I’m an alpha, and she’s an alpha,” Pink said, also during the “Plead the Fifth” segment.
She continued, “I’m used to taking my altercations physical and she’s used to having them verbal. We’re just very different, we’re very different. And we were very young and new.”
“You have to learn — women have to learn how to support each other,” she added. “It’s not taught to each other in the playground.”

Two years later,Aguilera appeared on the same programand said she understood Pink had “some feelings about how the recording of ‘Lady Marmalade’ went down.” She also denied throwing a punch at her collaborator, but did recall what the energy was like on set.
“She was heckling me in the audience a little bit behind the director,” she said of Pink. “I was like, ‘Oh, What’s going on?’ But that’s what she did back then.”
“She’s a different person now,” Aguilera added. “She’s a mom. She’s cool.”

In 2021, Pink spoke to PEOPLEabout being pittedagainstBritney SpearsandChristina Aguileraas they rose to fame in the early aughts, calling such discussions “unfair to all the girls.”
“I love Britney — she used to carry around my album,” Pink said at the time. “I was like, ‘Dude, I’m a street punk, I just skateboard. That doesn’t have to be the anti-Britney. I don’t want to fight anybody.'”
Pink also shared that she got some advice on the matter and has carried it with her through her two decades of pop stardom. “One of the best things that [music executive] L.A. Reid ever told me was that this music business is big enough for everybody to win at the same time. There’s no such thing as competition,” she said. “I think we navigated through it as good as a 20-year-old girl can. Now I think it’s totally different. Girls supporting girls is rad — I love to watch it.”
