The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Apollo Nida may be serving out an eight-year sentence in prison, but that hasn't stopped him from taking shots at cast member Peter Thomas on Instagram. The imprisoned realtiy star recently had a relative post a message directed toward his former friend expressing his discontent with their friendship.

Instagram is a popular social media site used by many to express feeling of excitement, happiness and bitterness, and in this case, used by a prisoner in a federal correctional institute to do the same. According to Rolling Out, the husband of Phaedra Parks has decided to use the social media platform to address Thomas, who he once considered a friend but is now harboring ill-willed feelings toward his former friend.

According to the site, Nida requested the assistance of a friend or family member to relay a message to Thomas whom he feels has abandoned their friendship since he's been incarcerated. Captioned with the photo of the two men, the message read, "Crazy world right!! I guess it's true that in time one will see whom their fake friends really are."

 CRAZY WORLD RIGHT!! I GUESS IT's TRUE THAT IN TIME ONE WILL SEE WHOM THEIR FAKE FRIENDS REALLY ARE!!

Though the site did not reveal who the family member or friend was that posted the initial post, the message was still received as if Nida himself sent the message to Thomas and received a response from the Bar One entrepreneur. According to Love B Scott, Thomas responded with his own Instagram post directed to Nida and whomever is now operating his account. Using a different photo of the pair together, Thomas posted this message.

The back-and-forth continued between the men with another post coming from Nida's account. This post reportedly relayed a message from Nida responding to Thomas expressing how he respects him as a business man, but is hurt by the distance between them since his sentencing and imprisonment.

"It's been well over a year and he hasn't heard from Peter Thomas and Apollo thought they were boys and Peter had his back and would stay down," the message indicated, in the form of someone who was speaking on behalf of Nida and his feelings.

The messaged continued with an explanation as to why Nida has chosen to publicly acknowledge his feelings toward Thomas by indicating how their friendship began.

"Apollo says his & Peter Thomas's friendship started with you all watching, so Apollo doesn't mind letting you all know how he feels," the caption read.

This is not the first report citing how Nida doesn't feel the closeness of his family and friends since beginning his eight year sentence. In a June report, TMZ revealed how Parks had yet to take their two sons, Ayden and Dylan, to visit their father, even on Father's Day. The site reports that although Parks sent cards and photos to her husband on that day, they still had yet to visit him.

Nida was found guilty of federal fraud.
