Rihanna, Naomi Campbell NYFW controversy convinces fans of feud

"Supermodel Naomi Campbell and pop star Rihanna are once again the subject of feud rumors.

During a recent New York Fashion Week show, Rihanna appeared to ignore Naomi Campbell as she entered the event. Rihanna greeted a man seated next to Naomi but walked away without acknowledging the supermodel. A video of the interaction surfaced online, prompting fans to speculate about the awkward moment.

Some fans commented on Rihanna's ability to seemingly overlook Naomi, noting, "This is an art. Being able to know someone you don’t want to deal with is right in front of you and you can just walk by without any recognition or hesitation."

Others pointed out that Rihanna didn’t greet several people at the event, including Diana Ross’s daughter, Tracy Ellis Ross, and Law Roach. One fan even humorously referenced Naomi's recent controversy with Anna Wintour, suggesting, "She musta came in late 'cause Naomi hate her a** being late."

Initial rumors of a feud between the two date back to 2017 when they both unfollowed each other on Instagram. Naomi was asked about this on Andy Cohen's show, *Watch What Happens Live*, where she responded with a wry smile, "Everything's fine," though Cohen seemed unconvinced.

Naomi later clarified, "I don't have beef. I don't have beef, especially with black women who I think are powerful... and we're all doing the same thing - doing the same struggle."

Speculation about a falling out intensified when Rihanna began dating businessman Hassan Jameel, who was previously linked to Naomi. Fans commented, "I love both Naomi and Rihanna, but it's girl code to NEVER go after ya girl's ex. You can't tell me Naomi and Rih weren't close."

Despite the rumors, it’s worth noting that Rihanna and Naomi have shared moments of camaraderie, including a Balmain shoot for W magazine and Naomi modeling looks from Rihanna's Puma line in *Vogue Italia*. Rihanna has praised Naomi as an inspiration and "true beauty."
