Rihanna and Naomi Campbell have friendly conversation at event amidst rumored feud

Rihanna, making a bold entrance at the show, appeared to walk past Naomi Campbell and famed stylist Law Roach without acknowledging them.

As the footage spread online, fans began speculating about the possibility of tension between the two, with many suggesting that Rihanna had purposefully snubbed Naomi.

The video clip ignited a storm of online conversations, with viewers dissecting the moment.

Rihanna was seen greeting supermodel Linda Evangelista as soon as she arrived, but many noted her decision to seemingly overlook Campbell and Roach.

At the time, neither Rihanna nor Campbell directly addressed the situation, allowing the rumors to simmer.

However, Campbell eventually decided to break her silence and address the narrative in her own words.

In response to the ongoing chatter about a potential feud, Campbell swiftly put an end to the speculation.

In an interview with The New York Times, the legendary supermodel directly addressed the situation, making it clear that she wasn’t interested in being pitted against another successful Black woman.

“I’m not about to let the world pitch two Black women against each other. We are two women with two children, mothers,” Campbell firmly stated.

With this, she shut down any notion of a rift between her and Rihanna, emphasizing her commitment to resisting divisive narratives.

Just when the rumors seemed to reach a peak, new footage surfaced, potentially proving that the alleged tension was overblown.

In a video obtained by The Shade Room, Rihanna and Campbell were seen casually chatting at an event hosted by Rick Owens’ wife, Michele Lamy. In the clip, the two fashion icons appeared relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company.

Rihanna, dressed in a stunning red monochromatic outfit, could be seen laughing and conversing with Campbell, who looked equally glamorous in a dark silk gown. The women appeared friendly, with no visible signs of tension between them.

Rihanna’s genuine smile and Campbell's composed demeanor suggested that, if there had ever been any awkwardness, it was now water under the bridge.
