What seemed like a joke turned into a banter of female star power between Christina Milian and Nicki Minaj.

Milian, star of docu-series "Tina Turned Up," posted a few photos from her clothing line, "We Are Pop Culture" which led Nicki to comment on one of her sweatshirts with the graphic, "Pretty On Fleek." The rapper joked she created the viral slang and wanted a cut of the singer's checks for her sales.

"'Fleek By Onika' I see Christina selling t-shirts that say Pretty on Fleek. I was waiting on my percentage at the door! *tilts head"

Unaware of the the tone of the comment, Milian gave a thorough response, saying that she wouldn't mind sharing her profits and neither of them were the creators of the term. She also explained the meaning behind her clothing line and what it represents.

Fans began to flood the singer's Instagram with the #FleekByOnika and slamming her for dating Lil Wayne. Meanwhile, Nicki posted several of her chart-topping hits and accomplishments on Instagram. The two playfully went back and forth as Milian posted an iTunes link to her latest single, "Rebel."

The singer then took to Twitter to admit she didn't notice Nicki was kidding.

"There's truth behind every joke," Milan tweeted "My bad for trying to show love and respect in the situation. Apparently I should have laughed at you #Iguess." As the comments from Nicki's rampant fan base kept coming, the singer deleted the tweet and replaced it with, "I don't know how to even read these tweets these days..So confused.. lol still love Ya though @NICKIMINAJ"
