A teenage witness in the trial of N-Dubz rapper Dappy said she was going to "bull****" when she gave evidence - and that she was "in the process of sending the singer down".
A trial at Guildford Crown Court has heard Dappy sparked a "mob attack" when he spat at Grace Cochran and Serena Burton, both 19.
The alleged attack happened as they sat at the Shell garage in Woodbridge Road, Guildford, Surrey, at about 3.30am on February 28 last year.
Paul Greaney, representing Dappy, confronted Miss Cochran about messages she had posted on Twitter and Blackberry messages (BBM) about the case.
In a BBM conversation at 9.50am on Tuesday, the day she had originally been due to give evidence, Miss Burton received a message from someone called Jodie:
"OMG definitely sell the story ha ha ha, that's so good. Just say what happened, you are good at talking so you will be fine, ha ha ha."
Miss Burton replied: "Ha ha ha, I do not even remember, to be fair, but I will bull****."
Mr Greaney said that at 7.12pm on Monday she was sent a tweet saying "Send the **** down" to which she replied "Ha ha ha in the process".
He also described a series of tweets and messages in which the two witnesses discussed their plans to sell their story to the media for £1,000.
In one BBM message, Miss Burton wrote: "Ha ha ha, oh my ****, my friend's dad works in the media and he told her that apparently we can get a grand for that type of story from The Sun or something."
Ms Cochran also admitted discussing what clothes and make-up the pair would wear for their court appearance.
When asked by Mr Greaney if her intention by giving evidence was to gain attention and money, she replied: "We are both 19-year-old girls and the attention was good in our eyes. It wasn't our initial intention.
"I think if anyone knows Serena and I, our characters, it's a very typical thing to be said, we like to joke around about things like that."
Describing the incident, Miss Cochran said that Dappy and another man came to talk to them as they sat on the kerb outside the petrol station shop.
She said: "Their manner was chatting us up, they were saying 'All right girls, all right sexy girls', something like that.
"We didn't know who they were, we told them to leave us alone. They called us sluts. I said 'You are boring'.
"He spat at me, on the floor, it didn't land on me though. Serena said 'That's disgusting'."
She said she did not know at the time the man who allegedly spat at her but added: "I thought he looked slightly like a celebrity but I didn't think it was him, Dappy from N-Dubz.
"One of the boys we were talking to previously at the cashpoint came to stand in and stick up for us.
"I do not remember exactly what he said, he came to try to calm the situation and said 'Leave them' or something along those lines."
She described how this man, David Jenkins, and Dappy began to fight before a number of other men joined in.
"They were head to head, they had their heads against each other," she said
"It started between them and a lot of people got involved and people got out of the cars on the forecourt."
She described how the three men who had stood up for them suffered injuries in the incident.
Dappy, 25, real name Costadinos Contostavlos, denies two counts of common assault on the two women, one of assault by beating on a man, and one of affray. The trial continues.
