Kendall Jenner SLAMS Rihanna Over Alleged Met Gala Ban

The Met Gala 2025 is already stirring up controversy, and this time, it’s all about a rumored feud between Rihanna and the Kardashian-Jenner family.

According to reports, Rihanna has allegedly worked out a deal with Vogue editor in-chief Anna Wintour and her partner, A$AP Rocky who now holds a seat on the Met Gala board committee to ensure that the entire Kardashian family is banned from the prestigious event.

The Kardashian-Jenner Reaction

The Kardashian-Jenner clan was reportedly outraged when they learned of Rihanna’s alleged decision. Sources claim that they’ve been in talks with Rihanna behind the scenes, trying to understand why she’s so intent on keeping them out. However, Kendall Jenner seems to be taking the news the hardest.

Kendall allegedly lashed out at Rihanna, accusing her of holding onto resentment over her past relationship with A$AP Rocky. Even more shockingly, sources suggest Kendall has gone as far as to claim that Rihanna is jealous of her. While this might seem like a bold statement, a deep dive into their past interactions paints a picture of a long-standing rivalry.

A Feud Years in the Making

This tension reportedly dates back to 2012 when Rihanna responded to a tweet from a then-16-year-old Kendall. Kendall had tweeted that she would be “very upset” if Rihanna didn’t perform her song Complicated at an upcoming concert. Rihanna, however, clapped back with, “Well, don’t come.” Many saw this as the beginning of a rocky relationship.

In 2015, things escalated when Rihanna reportedly backed out of a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after Kendall allegedly used her influence to replace British model Jourdan Dunn. Dunn later took to Twitter to express her frustration, fueling speculation that Rihanna was showing solidarity with her friend.

Further drama unfolded in 2017 when Kendall won the “Fashion Icon of the Decade” award at New York Fashion Week—an honor some believed Rihanna was more deserving of. Then, in 2018, Rihanna allegedly threw shade at Kendall at the Met Gala, reportedly commenting, “Good thing I have the curves to pull this off. I would hate to be a stick figure.” Witnesses claim Rihanna laughed in Kendall’s face before walking away.

The A$AP Rocky Connection

One major reason for the alleged hostility is Kendall’s past with A$AP Rocky. Back in 2016, the two were frequently seen together, from Paris to Miami and Los Angeles. Their relationship was rumored to be serious, with them even getting cozy at Coachella in 2017.

During this time, Rihanna was still friends with Rocky, and sources claim she had wanted their relationship to evolve into something more. However, Rocky was reportedly more interested in Kendall, which may have led to lingering resentment.

Rihanna’s Alleged Reasoning

While their personal history might explain the bad blood, sources close to Rihanna claim that her disdain for the Kardashians goes beyond petty grievances. According to insiders, Rihanna views the Kardashian-Jenner family as “culture vultures” who have profited off Black culture.

One example often cited is Kendall’s 818 Tequila brand, which was accused of appropriating Mexican culture. Critics pointed out that Kendall had little knowledge of tequila-making yet slapped her name on a product to profit off a tradition she did not originate.

The Alleged Met Gala Ban

The latest development in this ongoing feud is the claim that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are working behind the scenes to keep the Kardashians off the Met Gala guest list. With A$AP Rocky now on the event’s board committee, speculation has run wild that Rihanna is using her influence to block their attendance.

While some fans believe Rihanna is too unbothered to orchestrate such a move, others argue that this is simply karma for the Kardashians, who have long been accused of using their own connections to manipulate opportunities in their favor.

Fan Reactions

Social media users have been divided on the issue. Some believe that Rihanna is actively working against the Kardashians, while others think this is just an attempt by the Kardashians to stay relevant.

One user commented, “The Kardashians just want attention, so they’re making it seem like Rihanna is the villain.” Another wrote, “Rihanna is too big of a star to care about them. She doesn’t need to ban them; they’re just not relevant anymore.”

What’s Next?

With the 2025 Met Gala still months away, it remains to be seen whether the Kardashians will make an appearance. If Rihanna is indeed pulling the strings, this could mark a major power shift in Hollywood, proving that the Kardashians no longer hold the influence they once did.
