Rihanna is reportedly aiming to remove Kendall Jenner and her entire family from the guest list of the 2025 Met Gala, as per reports. The singer and fashion mogul, known for her strong personality, is believed to be using her significant influence to make this happen, particularly now that her longtime partner, A$AP Rocky, is on the Met Gala planning committee.

According to RadarOnline.com, Rihanna has long had a strained relationship with the Kardashians, especially after Kim Kardashian attempted to befriend her while married to Kanye West, only to be shut down. But the animosity goes deeper with Kendall Jenner, whose friendship with Rihanna’s ex, Chris Brown, in 2014 has reportedly fueled the tension. Rihanna, still deeply affected by Brown’s infamous assault in 2009, has not forgiven Kendall for aligning herself with him, especially after the supermodel publicly supported Brown during that difficult period.
Adding to the personal history, Kendall and A$AP Rocky briefly dated in 2017, a fact that reportedly did not sit well with Rihanna. Although she and Rocky were just friends at the time, Rihanna’s territorial instincts kicked in, and her resentment toward Kendall intensified. With Rihanna now in a relationship with Rocky and the couple sharing two children together, she has more influence than ever over the guest list of the star-studded event.
