Sugababes embroiled in a feud as former bandmate Heidi Range’s mother SLAMS the group for picking up a MOBO Award without her… while Mutya Buena hits back: ‘Get over it’
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, which now consists of Mutya, 38, Siobhán Donaghy, 39, and Keisha Buchanan, 39, won the Impact MOBO Award last week – and Heidi, 40, and her mother appear to have been bothered by it.
As the trio accepted their awards and gave an acceptance speech, Heidi took to Instagram and proudly posted a selfie directly in front of her Sugababes wall of fame.
She wrote: ‘It’s raining and freezing, but I’m manifesting the sun. It’s almost the weekend and summer holidays, we’ve got this! Happy Thursday everyone.”
Meanwhile, Heidi’s mother noted how “proud” she was of Heidi’s history and slammed the trio for being “disrespectful for continuing the group without her.”

As the trio accepted their awards and gave an acceptance speech, Heidi (pictured) took to Instagram and proudly posted a selfie directly in front of her Sugababes wall of fame.
She wrote, “Yes Heidi, all the songs you’ve written and made hits, you can’t rewrite history or the facts no matter how much you pretend. I’m so proud of you, Mom.’
She continued, “I just can’t believe it. Sugar Babes didn’t have a hit until Heidi put together six No. 1 singles and multi-platinum albums. It’s so false and disrespectful how they are ashamed of it.’
Furious Mutya seemingly hit back at Heidi’s mother’s comments on Sunday, claiming they should ‘get over it’ and ‘stop putting them down for what they deserve’.
She wrote: ‘I didn’t want to say anything other than f*** it, I will. Now I’m not here primarily to hurt feelings, but to hold on.
“Do you think that when I wasn’t in the group and the girls were doing big things WITHOUT ME, I got mad because I wasn’t mentioned?
“Soooo, let’s just be nice and get over it, we all deserve our flowers but it was me, Shiv and Keisha on stage accepting our award at MOBOS and YES, WE DESERVE IT.
“I’m done with people abandoning me and my ladies.”
MailOnline has contacted both Heidi and the Sugababes’ representatives for comment.

Sugababes rocketed into 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, as Sugababes was still owned by their previous record label. They won back the rights to the name in 2019 (Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya pictured)
Sugababes rocketed into 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.
But things weren’t always smooth sailing and the group was known for their feuds, which led to 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.
