Pink seemed to hint at her early-2000s feud with Christina Aguilera while reflecting on filming the music video for "Lady Marmalade."

The "Just Give Me a Reason" singer ranked her most iconic music videos in an interview with BuzzFeed's Sam Cleal. BuzzFeed UK shared part of the interview in a TikTok video in which Pink said "Lady Marmalade" is her least favorite. The 2001 music video starred Pink, Mya, Lil' Kim, and Aguilera.

"It wasn't very fun to make," Pink told the outlet. "I'm all about fun, and it was a lot of fuss. There were some personalities. Kim and Mya were nice!" Notably, she didn't mention Aguilera.

Pink added that the music video is "iconic," but 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 told BuzzFeed. "It was just… There was some annoying things happening that day."

According to Us Weekly, the music video caused some tension between Pink and Aguilera. Us Weekly reported that Pink touched on the disagreements during a 2009 "VH1 Behind the Music" special.

"[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 during the special. "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 fucking meeting's about.'"

Though they say they've since reconciled, both Pink and Aguilera have spoken before about their old feud.

Pink said Aguilera once tried to fight her at a club — which Aguilera later denied — while on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" in 2017.

"We were super young and super new at the whole thing. I'm an alpha and she's an alpha," Pink told Cohen in 2017. "I'm used to taking my altercations physical and she's used to taking them verbal."

"Actually she swung on me in a club, which is hilarious," Pink later said in the interview.

During a separate appearance on the "Watch What Happens Live" in 2019, Aguilera told Cohen the club altercation Pink described didn't happen. "I wouldn't swing on her," Aguilera said of Pink. "She can beat my ass, are you kidding me?"

Pink clarified in her interview with Cohen that she and Aguilera later reconciled when they worked together on "The Voice."

"I hadn't seen her in years and years and years, and we had become moms," Pink said. "We grew up. We hugged it out, it's that simple. I feel so good about that."

On Saturday, Pink tweeted a response likely aimed at fans and the media who reported her Buzzfeed comments.

"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," she wrote, adding that she was too busy selling concert tickets and albums to reengage in old drama.

"Also- I kissed xtinas mouth. I don't need to kiss her ass," she added in another tweet.

Pink's album "Trustfall" is available now.

Representatives for Pink and Aguilera did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
