Rihanna vs. Kendall Jenner: The Shade Is Real
It’s no secret that Rihanna isn’t exactly a fan of Kendall Jenner—or the Kardashian-Jenner family in general. The tension goes way back, and if you’ve ever doubted it, let’s just say Rihanna has made her feelings very clear.
It all started when Kendall tweeted about going to Rihanna’s L.A. concert, writing:
“If Rihanna doesn’t perform ‘Complicated’ tomorrow, I’m gonna be very upset. #FaveSong.”
Rihanna’s response? A brutally direct: “Well, don’t come.”
Ouch.
But that wasn’t the only time Rihanna threw shade. There’s a story that she was standing next to Kendall at a bar and made a loud comment: “Good thing I have curves to pull this outfit off. I would hate to be a stick figure.” Then, as if to drive the point home, she reportedly looked right at Kendall, laughed in her face, and walked away.
And if you think that’s where it ends—nope. When Kendall was booked to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Rihanna canceled her performance. That’s right. She literally pulled out of the show because of Kendall Jenner.
So, what’s the deal? Some say Rihanna just doesn’t vibe with Kendall’s personality—seeing her as spoiled, entitled, and lacking talent. Others think it might be something more personal… Like the fact that Kendall was linked to A$AP Rocky before Rihanna was. Could that be why she’s been so cold toward her?
Either way, Rihanna doesn’t fake it for anyone. If she doesn’t like you, you’ll know.
Let’s get into it.

The Rihanna & Kendall Jenner Feud—What’s the Deal?
Today, we’re talking about why Rihanna doesn’t mess with Kendall Jenner—or, honestly, the whole Kardashian-Jenner family.
We all know Kendall as a supermodel from a ridiculously rich family, but over the years, there have been plenty of rumors that she’s entitled, bratty, and not the easiest to work with. And if there’s one thing about Rihanna, it’s that she’s blunt, sarcastic, and doesn’t care who she offends.
So, when it comes to Kendall? Yeah… Rihanna is not a fan.
The Tweet That Started It All
This drama actually started way back in 2012—and, believe it or not, it all kicked off over a tweet.
Kendall, being a big Rihanna fan, tweeted about her concert in L.A.:
“If Rihanna doesn’t perform ‘Complicated’ tomorrow, I’m gonna be very upset. #FaveSong.”
Now, this seems innocent enough—just a fan expressing excitement, right? But Rihanna wasn’t having it. She fired back with a short but brutal response:
“Well, don’t come.”
And just like that, Kendall got shut down.
Honestly, Rihanna doesn’t need a fan army to come for people—she handles it herself.
Rihanna’s “Stick Figure” Comment at the Met Gala
Fast forward to the 2018 Met Gala, and things got even spicier.
Reports say Rihanna humiliated Kendall in front of a whole crowd with a shady comment about her body.
Apparently, while standing near Kendall at the bar, Rihanna said loud enough for people to hear:
“Good thing I have curves to pull this outfit off. I would hate to be a stick figure.”
Then? She looked Kendall dead in the eye, laughed, and walked away.
Now, that’s cold.
People immediately called Rihanna out for body-shaming, with one person tweeting:
“I love Rihanna, but sometimes she thinks being rude is a personality trait.”
Of course, Rihanna’s fans were quick to defend her, with one person saying:
“I heard Kendall isn’t the nicest either, so maybe this is karma.”
And honestly? That might not be too far off.
Rihanna Refused to Perform at Victoria’s Secret Because of Kendall?
If you thought this drama was just petty tweets and shady comments, think again—because Rihanna actually pulled out of a huge event over Kendall.
Back in 2015, Kendall had just landed her first-ever Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show gig. Rihanna was scheduled to perform at the event—but at the last minute, she backed out.
Why?
Well, it turns out that model Jourdan Dunn, a close friend of Rihanna, was originally supposed to walk in the show. But at the last minute, Jourdan was replaced by Kendall. Rihanna, being loyal to her friends, was not happy—so she dropped out in solidarity.
Jourdan later tweeted (and quickly deleted):
“Feeling so much better about not doing BS—sorry, I mean VS—now that Rihanna isn’t doing it also.”
Oof. If that doesn’t scream shade, I don’t know what does.
Final Thoughts
At this point, it’s pretty clear that Rihanna wants nothing to do with Kendall or the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Whether it’s publicly calling her out, throwing shade at the Met Gala, or even refusing to perform because of her, Rihanna has made her stance loud and clear.
So, what do you guys think? Did Rihanna take it too far, or did Kendall have it coming? Let me know in the comments!
Rihanna’s Reaction to Kendall Jenner at Paris Fashion Week Has Fans Talking!
It’s no secret that Rihanna and Kendall Jenner aren’t exactly besties, and their latest run-in at Paris Fashion Week has only fueled the speculation.
Years ago, Rihanna was reportedly upset when a friend of hers lost a modeling opportunity—only for Kendall to land the gig instead. Ever since, fans have noticed RiRi throwing major side-eye whenever Kendall hits the runway at shows she attends.
Well, it happened again. Rihanna was spotted in the audience as Kendall walked the runway, and let’s just say—fans immediately took notice.
One person tweeted, “This was Rihanna’s face while Kendall Jenner walked the runway,” alongside a crying-laughing emoji. Another added, “There’s a reason we’ll never see Kendall in one of Rihanna’s shows.”
Then, someone shared a side-by-side of Kendall strutting down the catwalk and Rihanna’s unimpressed reaction, writing: “Rihanna’s face during Kendall’s walk—Riri said, ‘I know you’re lying.’”
But is it really just about modeling? Some people think there’s another reason Rihanna isn’t a fan of Kendall…
Rihanna and Kendall Have More Than Just Runway Drama
It turns out, Rihanna’s partner, A$AP Rocky, once dated Kendall Jenner.
Back in 2016, Kendall and A$AP were spotted together multiple times and even attended the Met Gala as a couple in 2017. While their relationship didn’t last long, fans can’t help but wonder if that history plays a role in Rihanna’s less-than-enthusiastic reaction to Kendall.
And if you think this is just a Kendall thing—think again.
Rihanna vs. Kylie Jenner: A Beauty Empire Rivalry?
Some believe Rihanna doesn’t like Kylie Jenner either, and the reason? Business.
Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in 2014, setting a new industry standard with 40 foundation shades—a move praised for its inclusivity. By 2017, she expanded it to 50 shades.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Kylie Cosmetics expanded its foundation range too—right after Fenty’s success. Considering Kylie’s brand was originally all about lip products, people couldn’t help but side-eye the timing.
Fans have been pitting their brands against each other ever since, and some believe the rivalry isn’t just between the fans.
But wait—there’s another twist.
Did Rihanna Almost End Up With Travis Scott Instead of Kylie?
Before Kylie and Travis Scott got together, Rihanna was rumored to be dating him first.
Back in 2015, there were whispers that Rihanna and Travis were an item, though nothing was ever confirmed—until later.
During a Throwing Fits podcast episode, journalist Lawrence Schlossman revealed that he was actually the one who broke the news about Rihanna and Travis’s relationship at the time. According to him, Travis was annoyed about it—but Rihanna was even more upset.
Apparently, Rihanna really didn’t want people knowing they were together.
Schlossman even claimed, “It’s not because Travis didn’t want people to know he was seeing Rihanna—it’s because Rihanna didn’t want people to know she was seeing Travis Scott.”
Ouch.
Fast-forward a few years, and Travis ended up with Kylie Jenner, becoming the father of her children. Now, fans wonder if that awkward history explains why Rihanna isn’t the biggest fan of Kylie either.
Khloé Kardashian Caught Copying Rihanna’s Style?
It’s not just Kendall and Kylie—Khloé Kardashian has also been accused of copying Rihanna.
For her 40th birthday, Khloé wore a dress strikingly similar to Rihanna’s iconic 2015 CFDA naked dress. Fans called her out, saying she was trying to recreate one of Rihanna’s most legendary fashion moments.
This isn’t the first time either. Years ago, Khloé admitted to drawing fashion inspo from Rihanna—but many think she’s taken it a little too far.
What About Kim Kardashian?
Interestingly, there’s no real history between Rihanna and Kim K. Unlike her sisters, Kim has never been involved in any direct drama with RiRi.
That said, since they’re both insanely wealthy and successful, people love to compare them. And let’s be honest—Rihanna doesn’t seem like the type who enjoys being compared to a Kardashian.
Final Thoughts—Is There Real Drama or Just Fan Theories?
At this point, Rihanna’s side-eyes alone have people convinced she isn’t a fan of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. But is it just harmless shade, or is there real tension behind the scenes?
What do you think—does Rihanna actually dislike Kendall, Kylie, and the rest of the Kardashian crew? Let me know in the comments!
