Mia Thornton of The Real Housewives of Potomac had a bone to pick with Nicki Minaj, who hosted the show's reunion special in November.
On Thursday night Mia, 37, took to Instagram to call out the rapper, 39, for excluding her son as she gifted Christmas presents to all the children of the Bravo TV cast.
Nicki promptly made amends as she responded on Twitter saying, 'No one knew for sure how to find you... Pls send me the [address] mama.'
Originally, before the New York native shared her side of the situation, Thornton appeared on social media in a two-slide video post.
In the first clip she said, 'It's been a bit of a rough day but I wanted to hop on really quick because I'm getting all kinds of messages saying, "Oh, if you didn't say this... you should've kept your mouth shut and your kids would've got Gucci."'
Apparently fans were referring to last month's reunion show during which the TV personality was outspoken.
She clapped back saying, 'You don't be silent to obtain material, people. You speak your truth at all times.'
She wore a black hooded sweatshirt in the video and her dark hair was parted in the center and pulled into a loose, low ponytail.
The mother-of-three used a filter that adorned her face in a virtual palette of soft makeup.
The video looked to have been recorded in her home and her younger kids could be heard in the background.
'If you don't stand up for yourself then nobody will,' she continued in her monologue.
The post was spurred by several of the RHOP castmates taking to Instagram to thank Minaj for sending their young children gifts.
Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Ashley Darby, and Dr. Wendy Osefo all publicly thanked the music artist for sending Christmas presents to their homes.
The gifts included Gucci wallets with money for the boys, and purses from the luxury designer for the girls.
Mia went on to say in her video, 'When it comes to the kids I'm very sensitive because as you all know I had a very traumatic childhood. '
She calmly noted, 'My number one focus is to forever provide and make sure that my kids are happy.
'If that means I gotta go and buy them their own Gucci for Christmas so they feel like they're not left out, then guess what — we going to the Gucci store.'
The clips were captioned, 'Last Ramble of 2021. Guess I'm headed to the @gucci store. I forgot I have a 13-year-old who’s on social.'
Then she gave her oldest child a shoutout: 'J.Reign - You are #1 in my book.'
But it turns out that the emotional message was all for naught, and the ordeal was simply the result of a misunderstanding.
Hours after the videos were uploaded by Mia, Nicki took to Twitter to clear the air.
The entertainer tweeted, 'Mia, I was following you on IG but then your page disappeared. I asked and no one knew for sure how to find you or what was your real page anymore.'
She added that she had proof of correspondence: 'I have receipts, I’ll gladly post them if you’d like me to. I don’t play like that about children. Pls send me the addy mama.'
It didn't take long for Mia to reply. She simply tweeted, 'Queen. My sincere apologies.'
She took a screenshot of the exchange and shared it on Instagram with the caption, 'When you know better, do better. I was wrong,' tagging the songstress and adding '#rhop.'
Earlier on Thursday Gizelle shared videos and a picture of her three young daughters holding their designer bags and saying in unison, 'Thank you, Nicki!'
She wrote in her caption, 'I'm SPEECHLESS! So I've never bought my girls high end bags because I always wanted to keep them HUMBLE.'
Then she said, 'So for their 1st @gucci bag to be gifted by the MEGA ICON SUPERSTAR @nickiminaj for Christmas is PRICELESS!'
Robyn also used her social media platform to thank the pop star for her generosity.
With photos and videos of her two sons she said, 'These are some lucky and blessed boys!!! Thank you @nickiminaj for creating a truly awesome "moment for life" for Corey and Carter!!!'
Continuing to express gratitude she said, 'We love you for life Queen,' with a slew of pink heart and flower emojis.
Nicki commented with smiley faces and said, 'oh, hi handsome boys!'
Mom-of-two Ashley Darby shared a photo of her older son Dean - who's younger than the other castmates' boys - wearing a Gucci hat and scarf from the musician.
'Thank you for our adorable matching Gucci hat and scarf, @nickiminaj !!!' she wrote before adding, 'So kind and thoughtful of you to think about the babies this holiday season, we appreciate you!'
Minaj, who's also mom to year-old baby boy replied, 'He is so cute Ashley. Omg he reminds me of my son doing that lil pose.'
And Dr. Wendy Osefo wasn't home to open gifts from the musician, but made sure to thank her with an Instagram Stories post.
'Just wanted to say thank you to @nickiminaj for the sweet Christmas gifts to my kiddies!! I'm out of the country right now, but my notifications have been blowing up! She is a queen in every sense of the word!'
Nicki responded in similar fashion, taking to her Instagram Stories to say, 'You're more than welcome mama @wendyosefo.'
