Years ago Ciara and Rihanna got into a Twitter beef, but both artists have moved past the feud.
However, one MTV’s Twitter accounts brought the situation back up in attempt to make a joke.
Ciara wasn’t having it though.

But that wasn’t the only shade being thrown between major media outlets and celebrities during the Billboard Music Awards. MTV Music’s Twitter account got in on the snark with a since-deleted tweet that read, “Luda, you know Ciara won’t say Rihanna’s name.”
The tweet is directed at Billboard host Ludacris in reference to his co-host Ciara’s previous feud with singer Rihanna. The two got into a Twitter fight back in 2011, though they quickly mended fences and have been all good ever since.
Ciara took the classy road in responding to MTV, writing that Rihanna was “amazing” and “one of the best performances of the night.” She then took the MTV Twitter account to task for letting a newbie steer the ship during such a big event.

@MTVMusic Furthermore, who’s the ‘newbee’ tweeting on behalf of MTV?

@MTVMusic There’s no way someone of experience is posting content like that during a show of this caliber. God Bless ?? #SpreadLove

That so long ago. Why some people still bring it up now is beyond me. Neither cares about what the other is doing.
She kept it classy. When will Rihanna? Or will Rihanna and her friends make another video in the bathroom cackling at Ciara’s singing voice?
Stan wars are such a thing they spill over into one’s professional career. Now how sad is that?
That stuff so old now between Ciara and Rihanna people including stupid a-s stans on both sides need to let it go. I definitely agree with Ciara I don’t even care for Rihanna but from the clips I seen of Rihanna’s performance that’s the best I’ve ever heard her sing live. Her vocals were on point I was truly blown away.
Shady social media accounts are all the rage now in the business. Had Ciara not have clapped back. that tweet would have been retweeted plenty of times and gotten MTV some good pub. By her calling them out, it puts MTV in a bad light. She did the right thing.
I didn’t watch the awards last night because of GOT, the game and FTWD. But as usual, social media seems to have been more popping than the actual show. LMBO.
MTV needs to sit down and figure out how they can make their awards shows less dry. The only awards show I watch now is BET. Everything else is boring and too white washed.
Check their corny a-sses Ci Ci. Rihanna and Ciara are both doing well. When you’re winning at life you ain’t got time for the f-ck sh-t.
Oh Lawd MTV is so thirsty for attention they are trolling on Twitter now. Pathetic.
Does a teenager run that account cause…
Social media has truly ruined everything, even MTV. Everyone is in search of attention and retweets now. Even TV networks and legit businesses. And it’s getting them in trouble too. MTV deleted those tweets fast because they knew they were wrong.
The tweet wasn’t even funny tho.
He’s probably part of the Navy. A few of them won’t let that situation go and they do still drag Ciara on Twitter about it.
Everyone wants to be messy now. That was so uncalled for. I’m glad she spoke up.
I hate Twitter.
It’s sad that we live in a society where everyone wants to be shady 24/7. It’s exhausting.
