A viral video of Rihanna started making rounds on the internet on September 7, in which she allegedly ignored model and actress Naomi Campbell. This happened after the Umbrella singer attended the Alaïa Friday night runway show during New York Fashion Week on September 6, 2024.
In the widely shared video, the singer greeted former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful with a kiss. However, she seemingly ignored Campbell, who was seated right next to him.

“Naomi Campbell ate Anna Wintour up the other day. Only for Rihanna to eat Naomi & Law Roach up last night. It’s a tricky world,” another X user wrote, referring to the alleged beef between British editor Anna Wintour and Campbell.
Many also expressed their confusion regarding the reason behind this alleged feud.
“Can someone please update me on the tea??” another one commented.

Exploring Rihanna and Naomi Campbell's alleged feud
Fans began discussing the reason behind Rihanna's apparent dismissive attitude towards supermodel Naomi Campbell after the two attended Friday's Alaïa catwalk show for New York Fashion Week. In the video, the Diamonds singer is seen arriving at the show. She then greeted British Vogue's editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, warmly, giving him a firm hug and a peck on each cheek.
However, RiRi then walked past Naomi Campbell, who was seated directly across from Edward in the front row. In the video, the former cast member of Empire observed the Grammy winner's arrival, and they even seemed to exchange glances.
The reasons behind the alleged rift between the supermodel and the Love On The Brain hitmaker remain unknown, although it has been reported that they somehow detest each other.
According to a September 7 article from Daily Beast, the speculation could be because Campbell recently made fun of British editor and Rihanna’s close associate Anna Wintour after Wintour took a jab at the model on September 6 during the first day of the New York Fashion Week for the actor's frequent tardiness.
The source further reported that the alleged feud might be because of Rihanna’s rumored relationship with Hassan Jameel, a billionaire, from 2017 to 2020, shortly after his relationship with Campbell ended.
Despite these speculations, Campbell has dismissed rumors of a feud. On March 7, 2017, when Naomi Campbell made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she clarified that she and the Stay musician were not at odds. She added:
“I don’t have beef. I don’t have beef, especially with black women that I think are powerful and out there. We’re all in the same thing, doing the same struggle.”
She went on to say that she only encourages other Black women to achieve success. She did make a little joke about the feud, which many interpreted as implying that things aren't really that great between them.
Furthermore, as per TMZ’s September 7 article, according to a source associated with Naomi Campbell, there is no rivalry between the supermodel and the singer.
Meanwhile, the reason behind the alleged beef is still unclear, and neither the singer nor Naomi Campbell commented on the video or their reported issues.
