Responding to the comments, Rihanna said on Twitter: "My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme (sic)."

Ciara the replied: "Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off stage," to which Rihanna said: "U gangsta huh? Haaa. Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of."

She then later added: "Ciara baby, I love u girl! You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I’m heartbroken! That’s y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup."

Ciara then accepted Rihanna’s apology and said they should meet in person.
