Two weeks ago, social media buzzed with speculation that supermodel Naomi Campbell and celebrity stylist Law Roach were shading Rihanna after the singer appeared to walk past them without acknowledgment while sitting front row at the Alaïa fashion show. The brief moment, captured on camera, sparked rumors of tension between the two icons.

However, Naomi Campbell has quickly downplayed the drama, addressing the circulating rumors head-on.

In an interview with The New York Times, Campbell dismissed the idea of a feud, saying, “I’m not about to let the world pitch two Black women against each other.” She emphasized the importance of unity, adding, “We are two women with two children, mothers.”

By speaking out against the fake beef, Naomi Campbell is making it clear that there is no animosity between her and Rihanna, focusing instead on solidarity and respect. As two influential figures in the fashion and entertainment industries, both women continue to inspire with their work, their motherhood journeys, and their unwavering grace in the face of public scrutiny.

Rihanna Reveals How She Prevents Looking “Busted” For ASAP Rocky

Rihanna is often balancing her roles as a mother and… well, everything else these days, so it’s only natural that she needs to think about her fashion on the fly. Moreover, she recently celebrated the launch of Fenty Hair in the United Kingdom on Monday (September 16) and gave some tips to British Vogue as to how to flip stay-at-home into sexy when it comes to styling. “My lazy days consist of always wearing a scrunchie because I want [my hair] out of the way,” RiRi told the outlet. “So I find myself always wearing a scrunchie on my wrist. I want it out of my way. I don’t want it to be on my kids when I lean forward; just messy!

“Whether you have tendrils or whatever, you still gotta keep it together because when Rocky comes home, I don’t want to look busted either,” Rihanna continued. “There’s the first half of the day and then there’s the dad’s coming home [half]!” If you have any tips for Riot Rose’s parents when it comes to fashion advice of your own, make sure to drop them down in the comments section below.

Rihanna Speaks On Avoiding A “Busted” Look

But Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are so in love with each other that they probably look gorgeous to each other every millisecond of every day… and to most people, if we’re being real. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” Rocky told Billboard recently. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

Meanwhile, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky do plan to expand their family and share more great memories together. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two,” she shared with Interview magazine. “I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” We’ll see whether she chooses to reveal her third pregnancy on a Super Bowl-level stage, if it does happen.

Rihanna Showed Her Support Of Kendrick Lamar’s Selection For The Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show, Despite Online Backlash

Usually this early into the NFL season, diehard football fanatics debate which team will go all the way. Well, this year things are a bit different. Instead of sports fans nearly coming to blows over their favorite franchise, it is the music fans popping off.

Today (September 8), Kendrick Lamar announced that he would perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. While users online, including Lil Wayne’s longtime engineer Fabian Marasciullo, weren’t a fan of his selection, he did receive one notable co-sign. Over on Instagram, Rihanna showed her support of Kendrick Lamar by liking his reveal post (viewable here).

As the record-breaking headliner for Super Bowl 2023, Rihanna knows a thing or two about the football’s biggest stage. Still, users online are not buckling from their stance.

Many pointed about that the coveted show tapped Usher for Super Bowl 2024’s Halftime Show following his groundbreaking dominance in Las Vegas. Since, Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans, Lil Wayne should’ve been selected for the slot. Back February, during an appearance on YG and Stevie’s 4HUNNID podcast, Lil Wayne made it crystal clear that he would be down if asked. He also expressed how sentimental the moment would be giving that NOLA is his hometown and where his career started by way of the Hot Boys.

Fans Believe Rihanna And Naomi Campbell Have Beef Following A Viral Video, But It Is Reportedly One-Sided

Supporters believe Asap Rocky isn’t the only person in the Fenty household with a longstanding feud. Users online are convinced that Rihanna and Naomi Campbell are involved in a heated quarrel.

A viral video (viewable here) of Rihanna seemingly ignoring Naomi Cambell during a New York Fashion Week event on September 6 has users online in a tizzy. As the “Lift Me Up” singer made her way through the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to her assigned seat of Alaia fashion the two fashion heavyweights seems to brush each other off.

Fans of each lady began to dig into the interaction further. Other clips from the event show Rihanna greeting several notable attendees including fellow supermodel Linda Evangelista (viewable here). Still no warm exchange between Rihanna and Campbell or even Law Roach can be found.

After the whisper grew louder, a source close to the matter told TMZ that the beef was one-sided. An insider with connection to Naomi Campbell told that outlet that Campbell doesn’t have a problem with Rihanna. The individual pointed out that Campbell’s face lit up with a smile as Rihanna made her way towards Campbell, and she even attended to help when her garment got caught up in her shoes.

Could this be a case of public overthinking? Sure. So, until Rihanna or Naomi Campbell address the rumor it is probably best not to rack your brain over it.

Rihanna Steals The Show At New York Fashion Week To Praise Fenty Beauty’s Creative Director

Rihanna ruffled some feathers online when she seemed to ignore Naomi Campbell at New York Fashion Week recently, but it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Moreover, she went to Daily Front Row’s NYFW Fashion Media Awards to present the Magazine of the Year award to her good friend and Fenty Beauty’s creative director, Jahleel Weaver (as well as his partner Katie Grand, who works with him on Perfect Mag). RiRi donned a $20,000 pink coat over a sheer dress and, with a glass in her hand, gave a speech in Weaver’s honor. “I got called for this less than 36 hours ago,” she remarked. “I wrote this speech in the car because it’s my friend, and I have to show up for my friend.”

Elsewhere, Rihanna is making a lot of other big moves in the worlds of fashion, style, and related endeavors. For example, she recently starred in her first Dior perfume ad, expanding her wealth of product partnerships and potential business opportunities. The Barbadian superstar may not have R9 ready for fans yet, but it’s clear that she built an empire that’s almost larger than her current musical legacy. That’s a tough conversation, though, and it’s obvious that she not only treasures her art very deeply, but that it’s the origin of all her success and creativity.

But more than all that, Rihanna is happiest to be part of a beautiful family with A$AP Rocky and their children. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” the Harlem rapper recently expressed concerning their companionship. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

In other Rihanna news, rumors are already starting about the new album and world tour arriving in 2025. Sadly, this is just what happened last year with the Super Bowl halftime show, and the year before that, and the year before that… But we’ll be patient. After all, with so much under her belt, we imagine that she only wants and needs to drop music when she really feels like it’s special.

Rihanna Catches Heat For Allegedly Ignoring Naomi Campbell At New York Fashion Week

Rihanna and Naomi Campbell have had beef rumors swirling around them for years now, none of which have really manifested into anything concrete. That being said, we don’t really blame folks for assuming that they don’t like each other given what little we have seen. For example, both superstars attended a New York Fashion Week event on Friday (September 6). The Dior partner went up to greet a man who was sitting right next to Campbell, and RiRi didn’t seem to acknowledge her at all. You can see this for yourself in the video down below, which many fans are treating as gospel.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Naomi Campbell denied that she and Rihanna had any sort of issues back in 2021. As for what the origin of this whole thing is, we’re not sure, although many assume that it’s just a competitive relationship in the worlds of media, fashion, and more. It’s far from Campbell’s only big-name celebrity interaction this year, though, which shouldn’t really be surprising considering her overwhelming fame. She sat front row with Kendrick Lamar (or rather, the other way around, since she’s the fashion icon here) for Chanel’s runaway earlier this year.

Rihanna & Naomi Campbell’s NYFW Interaction… Or Lack Thereof

Elsewhere, Rihanna doesn’t have to worry about people like Naomi Campbell when her husband A$AP Rocky is right there to sing her praises. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” he told Billboard of their bond. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

However, RiRi might have to make some major moves in her fashion-related businesses soon. Her CEO for Savage X Fenty quit after a year, instead taking a position at Victoria’s Secret. It’s unclear how this will impact Rihanna’s endeavors, and we still don’t have much news as to what the next steps are. If only there was a supermodel with decades of experience and plenty of style and business acumen to ask advice from…

Rihanna Officially Introduces Herself As The New Face Of Dior J’Adore With Her Luxurious First Ad For The Scent

In June, it was announced that Rihanna is now the new face of Dior J’Adore, a classic scent. Charlize Theron was previously the face of J’Adore campaigns for 20 years, and now she’s the brand’s style and jewelry ambassador. Now, Rihanna has officially taken over Theron’s old post, unveiling her first J’Adore ad yesterday (September 1).

The minute-long video (watch it here) checks all the classic perfume ad boxes: luxurious environments, sexy poses, surreal environments, bold looks down the barrel of the camera, and so on, all with Rihanna’s signature confidence.

Rihanna previously said in a statement, “Being the new face of J’Adore is both an honor and a mission. This scent that I have known and loved for so long means so much to women. I am especially looking forward to joining this adventure and contributing to it through my world, my story, my roots, as well as my creativity and my own femininity.”

Véronique Courtois, CEO of Parfums Christian Dior, also said, “The unusual talent, audacity, and captivating beauty of this absolute star are the ideal embodiment of dazzling, powerful Dior femininity that transcends generations. Her golden dream promises to be unique, reflecting a fragrance that is present for women and retains its radiance.”

Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty CEO Quits After Just One Year

Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty brand has grown a lot over the years, netting her a whole lot of profit. But it seems like the company might go through some big changes soon, as a new change in leadership will mark a new era. Moreover, their CEO Hillary Super reportedly left Savage X Fenty and accepted an $18 million offer to work at Victoria’s Secret remotely. According to The Star, she will start her new job on September 9, although it’s not explicitly confirmed if this is about the specific $18 million offer or other terms. Regardless, this news arrives just over a year after Super started at Savage X Fenty in June of 2023 with an unknown salary. Victoria’s Secret broke the news on August 14.

However, we’re sure that Rihanna will find a suitable replacement for the role at Savage X Fenty. She might not be stressing out about it too much right now, especially considering that she just enjoyed a vacation in her native Barbados. RiRi went to the Crop Over Festival, spent wholesome time with A$AP Rocky and their kids, and even hung out with friends. Once she gets back to home base and feels rested, she can think about who her next company head will be.

Furthermore, Rihanna also has a lot to think about concerning her long-awaited ninth studio album. While we know that it’s on the way along with rumblings of a 2025 world tour, it’s all speculative at the moment. As such, we recommend you just keep your eyes peeled for any significant and official updates on the matter. Until then, many reports about the project remain rooted in rumor.

Meanwhile, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Barbados vacation celebrated their son Riot Rose’s first birthday. Their outings and family time contrast a lot with their moves as artists and entrepreneurs, but in a more positive way than most. As such, fans seem quite content with enjoying their content and supporting them in their journey. But they also really want their next great works of art, so any extracurricular elements will fall to the wayside once they arrive.

Rihanna Kicks Back Some Shots With Friends In Barbados

Rihanna always has a good reason to go back home, and her latest trip to her native Barbados proved why in a wholesome but party-minded way. Moreover, a new video recently surfaced of her taking shots with some friends at a beach bar there over the weekend. The four of them seemed to take tequila shots as indicated by the limes, and RiRi asked the bartender for her name… And if she was allowed to drink at work so they could get her a shot, too. The bartender’s name is Rose, which got the singer very happy considering that that’s her son Riot’s middle name. The quarter (and Rose) cheered to the little one.

Furthermore, this went down at the Thunder Bay Beach Bar in Barbados, and Rihanna enjoyed a lot more when it comes to her travels. She also hit up the Crop Over Festival in a beautiful feathered dress, and A$AP Rocky and the kids are also around to help spread the good times. Overall, even though we see a lot of online content from the “Umbrella” superstar, it’s always more heartening to see these smaller, special moments. If only for a fleeting moment, it brings us as spectators closer and provides a relatable moment of reprieve through the joys of friendship… And tequila, too.

Rihanna Cheers To Her Son Riot Rose With Friends In Barbados

Elsewhere, rumors are running rampant online that Rihanna will drop her long-anticipated album soon and will tour the world in 2025. Of course, we know what you’re thinking: been there, done that, and it’s been eight years of the same headline. Nevertheless, we doubt that anticipation or desperate hype for R9 will die down until it actually comes out. So be ready for a whole lot more reports and speculative gossip where that came from.

But the most important part of this trip isn’t the drinking, nor the luxury travels, nor whatever work Rihanna’s got to do on her next project. It’s how she and A$AP Rocky went to celebrate Riot Rose’s first birthday. As such, it’s no wonder why the friends cheered to him. Here’s to many more great times ahead, and to many more beach bar hangouts with loved ones.

Does Rihanna have a new album coming out soon? That’s what a recent report indicates, saying that her “ninth album is finally on the cusp of being released.” At this point, a new Rihanna album very much falls in “I’ll believe it when I see it” territory, though. What folks have been better able to count on from Rihanna these days is new lingerie.

Indeed, on social media today (August 15), Rihanna shared a revealing set of lingerie photos to show off the new Bold Lace collection from Savage X Fenty (find the post here).

As for the products’ features, the description of the Bold Lace Unlined Plunge Bra reads, “Subtle yet striking. Our Bold Lace Unlined Plunge Bra features overstated floral lace on the cups, an underwire for added support, adjustable plush-back straps, and a secure hook-and-eye back closure.” Meanwhile, the blurb for the Bold Lace Thong Panty says, “Subtle yet striking. Our Bold Lace Thong Panty features a mid-rise silhouette, overstated floral lace on the front body, a no-show microfiber waistband, and a soft cotton gusset liner.”

Also available in the Bold Lace collection are the Bold Lace Garter Belt and the Bold Lace Thigh-High Stalkings. Shop the collection via Savage X Fenty or Nordstrom.
