LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna seems to be making headlines for more than her music and fashion empire. Rumors are swirling that the global superstar is plotting a subtle but sharp move against the Kardashian-Jenner family—allegedly using her influence on the 2025 Met Gala guest list to exclude them.
Sources claim Rihanna’s long-standing disdain for the Kardashians, particularly Kendall Jenner, might drive her to take advantage of her sway in the fashion world. With her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, co-chairing the prestigious event alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour, insiders suggest Rihanna has more than enough pull to orchestrate this so-called “revenge.”
According to reports, Rihanna’s issues with the Kardashians date back years. When Kim Kardashian was married to Kanye West, she reportedly tried to establish a friendship with Rihanna, only to be shut down. Adding to the tension, Kendall Jenner’s close ties with Chris Brown—Rihanna’s controversial ex—allegedly solidified the rift. A source explained, “Kendall picked a side, and it was the wrong one. Rihanna didn’t appreciate her continued friendship with Chris after everything that happened.”
The plot thickens with whispers about A$AP Rocky’s previous relationship with Kendall Jenner. While Rihanna and Rocky were only friends at the time, insiders claim Rihanna felt “territorial” over him. Now, with both of them holding influence over the Met Gala guest list, it seems like the perfect storm for Rihanna to exact a little “petty revenge.”
Fashion insiders believe the Kardashian-Jenner family, Met Gala regulars for years, might be left off the coveted guest list. One insider remarked, “A lot of people think the Kardashians’ time in the spotlight is fading, and Rihanna isn’t the only one who feels this way.”
The drama doesn’t stop there. Reports suggest Rihanna’s frosty relations extend to Jay-Z, who’s currently embroiled in separate controversies. Allegedly, comments he made during her early career—including a joke about throwing her out of a 29th-floor window if she didn’t sign with Def Jam—may have soured their relationship further.
As the 2025 Met Gala approaches, all eyes are on Rihanna and the Kardashians. Will the rumored drama boil over into one of the fashion industry’s biggest nights? Or is this just another Hollywood tale blown out of proportion? One thing’s for sure: Rihanna knows how to keep fans and critics alike on the edge of their seats.
