Singer Sia has apologised for confusing rapper Nicki Minaj for Cardi B on Twitter, saying that she made “a buffoon” out of herself.
In a now-deleted tweet, a fan asked the Chandelier singer whether she would ever do a collaboration with Minaj and shared a photograph of the rapper, reports people.com.
In her reply, Sia mistook Minaj for Cardi B, writing: “I love @iamcardib and although this isn’t a collaboration, I would love to COLLAB with her any day!”
Social media users noticed the mix-up and soon the hashtag #Siaisoverparty began trending. “Girl move that hair out yo face AND LOOK,” one user wrote, with another said: “SIA GIRL YOU NEED TO DELETE I’M NOT PLAYING.”
Initially, Sia thought that users are blaming her for starting a feud between Minaj and Cardi B, who have had a tumultuous relationship in the past.
According to social media users, Sia wrote in since-deleted tweets: “My f**k up @NickiMinaj,” and “Hey @iamcardib @NICKIMINAJ you aren’t thinking about a feud right now are you? We are focused on the problem of systemic racism.”
In another now-deleted tweet, she wrote: “I don’t give a s**t about feuds, George Floyd was f*****g murdered. Breonna Taylor. Murdered. Come on let’s rise in unity. You think @iamcardib and Nikki are so petty that they would want you focusing on a silly feud instead of REAL NEWS.”
The singer soon realised her goof up, and apologised.
“I totally misunderstood a tweet earlier that has resulted in me making a buffoon out of myself. Sorry @NICKIMINAJ and @iamcardib if you hear about it. Can I just like you both?,” she said.
Cardi B and Minaj have not commented about the online mixup yet. (IANS)
Lost friends to COVID: Pierce Brosnan
Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan has revealed two of his friends have succumbed to the coronavirus.
The former James Bond actor hopes the world, which is “at war” with the deadly virus, sees more kindness after the pandemic ends.
“I lost two friends to COVID-19. They were friends of 45 years, and I am godfather to his son. No matter where you are and how beautiful it may be, you still have this awful threat to life looming.
“You have to keep pushing the rock uphill, and you have to keep involved in life. We are at war. People are dying. Hopefully after all this, there will be more kindness and more awareness of the fragility of our planet,” Brosnan told Parade magazine. (PTI)
