Rihanna seeking 'petty revenge' by banning Kardashian-Jenner clan from 2025 Met Gala: Sources

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna is taking aim at Kendall Jenner and the Kardashian-Jenner family, with sources suggesting she’s using the 2025 Met Gala as a way to exact "petty revenge." 

The rumors have surfaced amid Rihanna's well-known dislike for the Kardashians, with sources claiming that her influence in the fashion world could be the driving force behind her decision.

Additionally, the Kardashians’ past associations with controversial figures like Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who was accused of assaulting her, and Kanye West are said to be fueling the singer's actions.

Sources reveal Rihanna wants to ban the Kardashian family from 2-25 Met Gala

Sources have revealed Rihanna is allegedly planning revenge against the Kardashian family. They told Radar Online, "Rihanna has never been a fan of the Kardashians. When Kim was married to Kanye West, she tried to cozy up to Rihanna and got totally shut down."

An insider also revealed that A$AP Rocky, Rihanna's longtime boyfriend, is part of the planning committee for the 2025 Met Gala, where the 'Umbrella' holds significant sway over the guest list.

The source added, "Rihanna did not appreciate Kendall's friendship with Chris. Kendall chose a side, and it was the wrong one."

The source added, "Rihanna and Rocky were technically just friends, but that didn't stop her from feeling territorial over him. It just solidified her dislike for Kendall and now she's going to use the Met Gala to get a bit of petty revenge."

Now, she’s allegedly planning to use the Met Gala to exact some petty revenge. Rocky, who co-chairs the event with Vogue's Anna Wintour, will influence the guest list considerably.

Fashion insiders suggest the Kardashians, long regulars at the prestigious event, could be left off the list if Rihanna gets her way. The source added, "A lot of people are encouraging her – she's by no means the only one who feels like the Kardashians' time is up."

What happened between Rihanna and Kardashians?

It's important to consider the past tension between Rihanna and the Kardashian-Jenner family. Kim Kardashian’s attempts to befriend Rihanna while married to Kanye West were allegedly rejected by the singer, fueling the animosity.

Additionally, Rihanna’s disdain toward Kendall Jenner stems from Jenner’s friendship with Chris Brown in 2014, especially after Brown infamously was accused of assaulting Rihanna in 2009. Jenner’s continued association with him was seen as a betrayal by the singer.

Rihanna’s influence on the fashion world is not only said to extend to banning the Kardashian family from the 2025 Met Gala but also possibly affecting Jay-Z, who is currently facing serious allegations linked to Diddy.

Recent comments from Jay-Z about Rihanna may also have placed him in her bad books.

According to Marca, Jay-Z made a joke that has sparked significant controversy. In the comment, he jokingly said that if Rihanna didn’t sign the contract, he would throw her out of the window from the 29th floor.

The nature of the remark has led to renewed scrutiny over the aggressive tactics sometimes used in high-stakes entertainment negotiations. I

Jay-Z, in his eagerness to secure Rihanna for Def Jam when she was just 17, may have allegedly been involved in some controversial practices.
