Chile, has Rihanna officially managed to get the Kardashians banned from the Met Gala?
I mean there was already word on the street a couple of days ago that Rihanna was leveraging her influence at the Met Gala to get the entire Kardashian household banned from the event, especially Kendall Jenner. You know, the one she’s allegedly feuded with for the longest time!
But did she actually manage to get the entire family banned from the Met Gala? Well, allegedly, she might have finally won koz there’s a deal she signed that will keep the Kardashians out, and imma be breaking down this tea for y’all.
For years, the Kardashians have been a staple at high-profile events, particularly the Met Gala. Their presence at the annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been almost a given, with the family members regularly making headlines for their daring outfits and controversial moments.
However, in a twist that has caught the attention of the public, rumors have swirled that Rihanna, the reigning queen of both music and fashion, may be the one to end their run at the Met Gala—possibly with the power to get the entire Kardashian clan banned from the event.
At the heart of these rumors is the fact that Rihanna has not exactly hidden her disdain for the Kardashians, particularly Kendall Jenner. Sources close to the singer suggest that Rihanna has been using her influence to orchestrate a shift in the Met Gala guest list, potentially sidelining the Kardashians in favor of other celebrities who align more with her preferences.
It’s no secret that Rihanna and the Kardashians—especially Kendall—have had a rocky relationship, with multiple instances of alleged tensions and conflicts over the years. But does Rihanna have the power to bring their reign to an end?
Rihanna’s influence over the Met Gala guest list may seem surprising to some, but it has a clear foundation. Her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, was appointed as a co-chair of the event, alongside notable figures such as LeBron James, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue.
A$AP Rocky’s role in shaping the Met Gala lineup gives Rihanna significant leverage in deciding who does and does not make the cut, allowing her to wield a surprising amount of power over the event. This strategic position has fueled speculation that Rihanna could use her influence to oust the Kardashians, especially considering the friction that exists between her and certain members of the family.
Rihanna has long been a fixture at the Met Gala, both for her fashion and her high-profile performances, demanding large budgets for her appearances. Reports have suggested that Rihanna’s Met Gala performance budget has been as high as $400,000–$500,000 in previous years, reflecting her status as a major cultural force.
Her outfits, from the iconic yellow gown she wore in 2015 to the daring, religious-inspired look she sported in 2018, have consistently stolen the spotlight. But now, it seems that Rihanna’s power may extend beyond her fashion choices; it may extend to reshaping the guest list as well.
The tension between Rihanna and Kendall Jenner is no secret, and it’s been brewing for years. According to insiders, the animosity dates back to multiple incidents that have only fueled the fire. In 2012, Kendall Jenner tweeted about her excitement for a Rihanna concert, even going so far as to demand that Rihanna perform a specific song—“Complicated”—which sparked a sharp response from Rihanna. The singer, who has never been one to back down, replied, “Well, don’t come.” This seemingly small exchange set the tone for their future interactions.
But it didn’t end there. In 2015, Rihanna allegedly canceled her performance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show after Kendall was chosen to walk instead of Rihanna’s close friend, Jordan Dunn. This snub led to Rihanna’s refusal to perform, and sources close to her revealed that she was deeply upset by Kendall’s last-minute replacement. Though Kendall later tried to mend fences, Rihanna’s resentment remained.
The situation only worsened in 2017 when Kendall was named Fashion Icon of the Decade at New York Fashion Week, a title that many, including Rihanna’s fans, felt should have gone to the singer herself. Despite being a fashion icon in her own right, Rihanna’s supporters took to social media to express their displeasure with Kendall receiving the accolade, believing that Rihanna was more deserving.
One of the most talked-about moments came at the 2018 Met Gala when Rihanna allegedly threw a subtle jab at Kendall. According to insiders, Rihanna stood next to Kendall at the bar, remarking, “Good thing I have curves to pull this outfit off. I would hate to be a stick figure.” Rihanna’s biting comment left many onlookers stunned, and it became clear that the bad blood between the two had only deepened.
Rihanna’s frustration with Kendall Jenner is just one part of the larger issue with the Kardashian family. Sources suggest that Rihanna has a particular issue with the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s associations with controversial figures like Kanye West and Chris Brown, both of whom have been at the center of major scandals over the years. Rihanna, who has a complicated history with both men, has reportedly never forgiven Kendall for her closeness to these figures. Moreover, Kendall’s past relationship with A$AP Rocky is said to have been a point of contention, further souring Rihanna’s opinion of her.
As of now, it’s unclear whether Rihanna has successfully managed to ban the Kardashians from the 2025 Met Gala. The Kardashians, with their own massive influence and high-profile presence in the fashion world, are unlikely to be easily sidelined. However, the sheer fact that Rihanna’s involvement in the event has sparked this much speculation speaks to her immense power and the sway she holds in the fashion industry.
Whether or not Rihanna successfully ousts the Kardashians remains to be seen, but the notion that she has the power to do so signals a major shift in the dynamics of the celebrity world. If the rumors are true, this move would mark a new chapter in Rihanna’s already impressive career—a demonstration of just how far her influence reaches, not only in music but in shaping the cultural landscape.
At the end of the day, the Met Gala is as much about fashion as it is about power, and Rihanna’s power play may just be the latest example of how celebrities are able to control the narrative in ways that were once unimaginable. Whatever happens, it’s clear that Rihanna is a force to be reckoned with—whether or not the Kardashians are in attendance.
