Tyla Says Viral Met Gala Clip With Rihanna Was Misread, Denies 'Beef'

Her response underscores how quick viral clips from the Met Gala can fuel false narratives.

Overview

  • A viral clip from Monday’s Met Gala showed Tyla standing near Rihanna without speaking, which many read as Rihanna ignoring her.
  • In a TikTok, Tyla said “Everyone knows I love Rih,” denied any feud, and recalled a 2025 meeting where Rihanna left saying “my baby daddy’s calling me.”
  • She explained she felt awkward while waiting for her car and chose not to approach this time because Rihanna seemed busy.
  • Tyla said she wants any future conversation to happen in a calm setting where they can talk.
  • Her video drew about 2 million views on TikTok with mixed comments, and separate claims about Rihanna and A$AP Rocky arguing are unverified.
