Social media users immediately picked up on the mistake, with one telling Sia, "Girl move that hair out yo face AND LOOK.”

As fans vented their feelings, the hashtag 'Siaisoverparty' began trending on Twitter.

In response, Sia then tweeted: "I totally misunderstood a tweet earlier that has resulted in me making a buffoon out of myself.

"Sorry @NICKIMINAJ and @iamcardib if you hear about it. Can I just like you both?"

"My f*** up" she then added.

When fans pointed out that Nicki and Cardi have a long-running feud, Sia urged them to focus on the real news of the moment instead, mentioning the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Continuing to tweet about the Black Lives Matter movement, Sia then posted: "There was a time I used the term all lives matter when I was trying to advocate for the trans community whom I was working closely with.

"But growth is being able to understand that saying can be offensive to people who felt like their lives NEVER mattered and that's why #BLM "

Nicki and Cardi appeared to be unbothered by the drama as they both ignored the mix-up on their own social media pages.

The rap stars have been feuding for years with tensions between them coming to a head at a New York Fashion party in 2018.

Cardi was seen being escorted from the bash by security with a shoe missing and a bump on her forehead.
