Mel B, also known as Melanie Brown, will not let Geri (Halliwell) Horner forget she was the first member to leave the Spice Girls.
The beloved pop group took the stage Wednesday, May 29, for a stop on their run-on tour at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, when Scary Spice brought up Ginger Spice bringing up the dark moment in the group's history 20 years ago.
JustJared claims Horner officially left the group on May 29, 1998, two days before the official announcement of her exit was revealed to the public. The date also happens to be Mel B's birthday.
During the show in Manchester, staff brought a large cake on stage and in response, the former America's Got Talent star looked at Horner and made a reference to the split.
"You better not leave tonight you f—ing b—!" Scary Spice told her bandmate onstage.
Brown celebrated her special day with a stop of the Spice Girls reunion tour, bringing together herself, Emma Bunton, Horner and Melanie Chisholm known best as Mel C. The singer also shared a video from the concert, featuring the moment she was surprised with the cake, as well as the thousands of fans in the audience singing "Happy Birthday."

The Spice Girls reunion tour is currently only touring the U.K. The first shows were shadowed by sound issues, but it seems to be going smoothly now.
"Hey guys, thank you for attending our show tonight in Dublin," Brown said in a clip on her Instagram after the tour kickoff date. "We will see you in Cardiff and hopefully the vocals and the sound will be much, much better."
