During a recent New York Fashion Week event, Rihanna made a grand entrance at the Alaïa runway show, turning heads in a crystal-covered mesh gown. However, what caught the attention of many was her apparent snub of former friend Naomi Campbell. As Rihanna made her way to her front-row seat, she greeted Edward Enninful but seemingly ignored Campbell, who was also seated in the front row alongside stylist Law Roach.
After the viral video of Rihanna seemingly ignoring Campbell surfaced on social media, fans were quick to speculate on the nature of their relationship. One person even suggested that Rihanna and Campbell “really hate each other,” while another fan jokingly referenced Rihanna’s statement about forgiveness by saying, “Rihanna said God forgives but I don’t lmao.” The video also led to comments about Campbell giving Rihanna a “bombastic side eye,” further fueling rumors of tension between the two.
Rihanna and Campbell were known to be friends, or at least acquaintances, in the past. They were photographed together on several occasions and were even seen having dinner together in 2016. However, rumors began to surface that their relationship soured when Rihanna started dating billionaire Hassan Jameel in 2017. Interestingly, Campbell and Jameel had attended an event together the year before, although their own romantic involvement was never confirmed.
The alleged rift between Rihanna and Campbell became more apparent when they unfollowed each other on Instagram. This move coincided with the public revelation of Rihanna’s relationship with Jameel, leading to speculation that their friendship had indeed fallen apart. When asked about the rumored feud during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Campbell downplayed the situation by stating, “Everything’s fine. Of course, it’s fine.”
The viral video of Rihanna seemingly ignoring Naomi Campbell at New York Fashion Week has sparked rumors and speculation about the state of their relationship. While their past friendship is well-documented, recent events have raised questions about a possible feud between the two celebrities. Despite attempts to downplay the situation, fans continue to dissect every interaction between Rihanna and Campbell, eager to uncover the truth behind their alleged falling out.
