Sugababes' Mutya Buena has apparently hit back at former bandmate Heidi Range and her mother after they subtly took a swipe at the group.
The group, now made up of Mutya, 38, Siobhán Donaghy, 39, and Keisha Buchanan, 39, won the Impact MOBO Award last week – and it seems to have bothered Heidi, 40, and her mother.
As the trio accepted their award and gave an acceptance speech, Heidi proudly posted a selfie on Instagram right in front of her Sugababes' Wall of Fame.
She wrote: “It's raining and it's freezing cold, but I'm manifesting the sun.” It's almost the weekend and half term, we've got this! Happy Thursday everyone.'
Meanwhile, Heidi's mother commented on how “proud” she was of Heidi's story and criticized the trio for saying it was “disrespectful to continue the group without her.”

She wrote: “Yes Heidi, all the songs you've written and made into hits, you can't rewrite history or the facts no matter how hard you pretend. “So very proud of you mom.”
She continued: “I just can't believe how cheeky this is.” “Sugarbabes didn't have a hit until Heidi achieved six number one singles and multi-platinum albums. It’s so wrong and disrespectful the way they shame her.”
Furious Mutya apparently responded to Heidi's mother's comments on Sunday, claiming they need to “get over it” and “stop belittling them for what they deserve.”
She wrote: “I didn't want to say anything but fuck it I will…First of all I'm not here to hurt feelings but hold them.”
“When I wasn't in the group and the girls were doing big things WITHOUT ME, do you think I was upset that I wasn't mentioned?”
“Sooooo let's just be nice and get over it, we all deserve our flowers but me, Shiv and Keisha on stage accepted our award at MOBOS and YES WE DESERVED IT.”
“I’m over people belittling me and my ladies.”
Web has contacted both Heidi and the Sugababes' representatives for comment.

Sugababes shot to the charts in 2000 with their debut single “Overload” and went on to enjoy a plethora of hits including “About You Now”, “Freak Like Me” and “Push The Button” (original Sugababes members Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan pictured in 2001).
Siobhan left in 2001 and was replaced by Heidi Range, (R) Mutya left in 2005 and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah (M) and Keisha was replaced by Jade Ewan (L) when she left in 2009
The band reformed in 2012 with their original line-up under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan. Since Sugababes was still owned by their previous record label, they regained the naming rights in 2019 (pictured: Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya).

But things didn't always go smoothly and the group was known for their arguments, which resulted in the line-up changing three times before returning to the original three-piece in 2012.
Siobhan left in 2001 and was replaced by Heidi Range, Mutya left in 2005 and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah and Keisha was replaced by Jade Ewan when she left in 2009.
The replacement members stopped making music in 2011.
