Rihanna wants the Kardashian's kicked out of the Met Gala 2025: Why?

Rihanna is reportedly seeking to exclude the Kardashian family from the 2025 Met Gala, citing their associations with controversial figures from her past as the reason.

The world-renowned singer's disapproval of the Kardashians goes back a long time. During Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kanye West, Kim's attempts to befriend Rihanna were allegedly rebuffed. Rihanna's disdain extends particularly toward Kendall Jenner, which comes from Jenner's interactions with singer Chris Brown in 2014. Brown infamously assaulted Rihanna in 2009, and Jenner's subsequent friendship with him was perceived as a betrayal. A source noted, "Kendall chose a side, and it was the wrong one."

Compounding the tension, Kendall Jenner dated A$AP Rocky in 2017. Although Rihanna and Rocky were reportedly just friends at that time, Rihanna felt "territorial" over him, which intensified her animosity toward Jenner.

With A$AP Rocky co-chairing the 2025 Met Gala alongside Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Rihanna is believed to have significant influence over the guest list. And now she appears set on using that power to block the entry to any of the Kardashians from the prestigious event.

"A lot of people are encouraging her-she's by no means the only one who feels like the Kardashians' time is up," an insider commented.

The Met Gala, renowned for its exclusivity and high fashion, has featured the Kardashians prominently in recent years. Their potential absence in 2025 would mark a significant shift in the event's celebrity landscape. Rihanna's reported campaign reflects her commitment to maintaining personal boundaries and addressing past grievances, even within the public sphere of the fashion industry.

As the 2025 Met Gala approaches, the fashion world will be watching closely to see how these dynamics unfold and whether Rihanna's influence will reshape the event's guest list.

Jay-Z also banned?

The Kardashians may not be the only ones on Rihanna's blacklist, as recent comments from Jay-Z about the singer may have put him in her bad books.

Jay-Z, in his zeal to secure Rihanna's talent for Def Jam when she was just 17 years of age, made a joke that has since sparked significant discussion. He told Rihanna that if she didn't sign the contract, he would throw her "out the window" from the 29th floor. The unsettling nature of the comment has led to renewed scrutiny of the coercive tactics sometimes employed in high-stakes entertainment negotiations.
