P!nk has had enough of onlookers’ take on her alleged beef with Christina Aguilera.
The singer expressed her displeasure over the attention that her former feud with the 42-year-old has continued to bring following the release of her new album, “Trustfall.”
The feud, which happened two decades ago, saw P!nk and Aguilera fighting over which singer would be belting out specific parts of the song “Lady Marmalade.” While nothing has been said about it since then, talk of the pair’s feud resurfaced after P!nk ranked the song’s music video dead last in a conversation about her favorite projects.
P!nk Is Saddened By Continued Controversy Surrounding Her & Christina Aguilera
P!nk has been at the top of the news since she began promoting her latest album, “Trustfall,” which she released on February 17. And at the center is her feud with Aguilera, which fans and press have had much to say about, causing the “F**king Perfect” singer to express her disappointment on social media.
Taking to Instagram, the 43-year-old shared a neon-filtered picture of herself and her son, Jameson Moon Hart, pouting at the camera. However, the playful image is accompanied by a lengthy and candid caption that she began:
“I’m so saddened and disappointed by the narrative surrounding some of the press I’ve been doing around my album. While some of the responsibility lays with me and my inability to lie, and my uncanny ability to overshare- my real disappointment lies in the fact that the art can never be the focus when you’re a woman.”
P!nk noted that despite creating “one of the most beautiful albums” while “selling out stadiums,” “raising good kids,” and employing “good, hardworking people,” the “only thing” people cared about “is a silly feud from your twenties.” The “Just Say I’m Sorry” hitmaker added that nobody talked about the numerous women she “complimented and supported and loved on.”
“I also believe in authentic apology- and owning Your Mistakes. I should say less. Every time. Say less. Something I’m working on. This was a good Reminder. My wish is To share the pains and the celebrations of this messy life through music and on stage. And I’ve accomplished that,” she stated.
The mother-of-two concluded with a personal message at Aguilera, stating that the “Genie in a Bottle” singer knew where they stood. With over half a million likes and thousands of comments, the post definitely got the attention she expected.
A look at the comment section revealed that both celebrities and fans were united against pigeonholing women, as actress Hilary Swank commented, “Thank you for being vulnerable, authentic and such an eloquent speaker of truth. We ALL need more of that, ALWAYS.”
Fitness guru Jeanette Jenkins wrote, “Through this honest message, you’re showing us women how to stand up for ourselves & I love it. Keep speaking your truth & congrats on a beautiful album.”
Make-up Artist Nicola Chapman stated that people were constantly learning new things about their lives and one fan noted that the “Just Give Me a Reason” singer was not “unkind or fake” in her interviews. A second fan also claimed that the people focusing on the past of others are “not empowering women” but are looking for “drama.”
The Five-Time World Music Awards Winner Shuts Down Rumors Of Any Feud
Talk of P!nk and Aguilera’s seeming rebirth of their feud began after the former appeared in a viral TikTok clip ranking her music videos. The Blast reported that the “What About Us” singer explained placing the “Lady Marmalade” video last in her ranking list because:
“It wasn’t very fun to make. I’m all about fun, and it was like a lot of fuss. And there were some personalities…Kim and Mya were nice.”
Within hours, the clip’s comment section was filled with fans giving their opinion on the situation, with one person writing, “The fact that she still shades xtina about this 20 years later 💀.” After letting hours and hours of assumptions fly on social media, P!nk eventually gave in when she replied to one Twitter user, stating:
“Y’all are nuts. Xtina had shit to do with who was on that song. If you don’t know by now- I’m not “shading” someone by telling it over and over and over what actually happened.”
The Grammy Awards winner ended her rant by pointing out her disinterest in the controversy, penning, “If you haven’t noticed- I’m a little busy selling.”
