AceShowbiz - A representative for Naomi Campbell has denied rumors of a feud between the model and superstar singer Rihanna, following a recent encounter at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) that raised eyebrows.
During the Alaïa runway show, a video captured the moment Rihanna entered the front row and seemingly ignored Campbell, who was also seated there. The video quickly went viral, sparking speculation that the two former friends were still quietly feuding.
While the video footage from NYFW has left many convinced that Rihanna's snub was intentional, Campbell's rep insists that there are no issues between them.
The video does show Campbell looking up at Rihanna with a smile as she greets the person sitting next to her. Additionally, Campbell reportedly reached out to help Rihanna when she nearly tripped on her gown later on.
The alleged feud between Campbell and Rihanna dates back to 2017 when rumors surfaced that the two fell out over their mutual interest in Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
Campbell has previously denied these rumors, stating that she has "no beef" with Rihanna and that she respects her as a powerful black woman. In 2021, Campbell told Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" that everything's fine between them.
A representative for Rihanna hasn't commented on the matter.
