She won't be taking that part. I feel that’s what the f–king assembly’s about.’”
The “Increase Your Glass” songwriter and the New York native seemingly buried the hatchet when the twosome reunited on The Voice in Might 2016. Aguilera served as a coach on the singing competition collection on the time and Pink made an appearance as a guest mentor for the contestants.
“We’re high-quality,” Pink later defined to Andy Cohen during an October 2017 appearance on Watch What Occurs Stay, where she also alleged she and Aguilera also got into a physical altercation back in the day. “She’s so gifted. And deep down — I’ve had dangerous days too — she’s a very candy individual. We made up on The Voice. I mean, it was funny. I laughed. It was just humorous. I hadn’t seen her in years and years and years. We turned moms and we grew up and we hugged it out. It’s that straightforward. I feel so good about that.”
Aguilera, for her part, also talked to the Bravo host about her perspective on the duo’s rivalry.
“I’ve seen her Behind the Music [special] and I do know she had some feelings or no matter about how the recording of ‘Woman Marmalade’ went down and all that,” the “Ain’t No Different Man” songwriter stated throughout her January 2019 look on WWHL. “I do know [during] the precise video, she intimidated me lots as a result of she was heckling me within the viewers behind the director, and I was like, ‘What’s happening?’ However, that’s what she did back then. She’s a unique individual now.”

“It wasn’t very enjoyable to make,” Pink advised the British outlet in an interview at the time. “I’m all about fun and it was, like, lots of fuss and there were some personalities. Kim and Mya have been good!”
