Things can’t always be pink when it comes to A-listers circles. Whether someone dated your ex-boyfriend or even befriended your best friends, some drama always emerges. It seems that this is also the case with Rihanna and the Kardashians. Rihanna never actually said out loud that the Kardashian-Jenner sisters annoy her, but it was so clear on many occasions that she isn’t a fan. With immense fan bases on both sides, each little detail during Rihanna and the Kardashians’ interactions was examined closely.
From choosing to step down from events attended by the Kardashians to even sharing dating histories, there might be more than one reason why Rihanna seems to have beef with the Kardashians.
Rihanna May Have A History With Kendall's Model Friends
Rihanna and the Kardashians do have some things in common, especially being recognized worldwide as celebrities. However, when it comes to the actual reasons for their fame, things are different.
While Rihanna has built her career primarily through her musical talent, the Kardashians were sort of brought to fame by Keeping Up With The Kardashians, or, more specifically, because of their 'momager', Kris Jenner.
While this might be a reason why they are not BFFs, namely having different upbringings, there is more to the story. When it comes to celebrities who can’t stand the Jenner sisters Rihanna is almost always on the list. One of the reasons is Kendall Jenner’s friendship with Rihanna’s acquaintances. She didn’t like Kendall Jenner’s friendship with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, or how she felt that Cara Delevingne sort of ditched her for the model.
Considering that Cara Delevingne was her BFF, Rihanna wasn’t happy about adding Kendall Jenner to the group.
Kendall Jenner Has A History With A$AP Rocky
Adding Kendall Jenner to her group didn’t seem like something enjoyable for Rihanna. While that incident is long in the past, it seems that Rihanna still has a certain dislike for the Kardashian-Jenners, especially Kendall Jenner in particular. They don’t cross paths too often, but even when they do, the distance is key, from Rihanna’s perspective.
While sharing a friend was out of the discussion for the famous singer, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna have something else in common; A$AP Rocky.
Even though they are in a happy relationship, and expecting a second child together, his dating history is also rumored to have included Kendall Jenner at some point.
They reportedly dated from 2016 to 2017 but broke up because of having different schedules. Kendall Jenner has made it clear that she isn’t jealous of Rihanna’s relationship with A$AP Rocky. Rihanna’s opinion about this long-forgotten fling isn’t public, but it could be a reason why she doesn’t want Kendall Jenner close to her.
Rihanna Also Has Beef With Kylie Jenner
It seems though that Kendall Jenner isn’t the only sister from the famous clan with whom Rihanna has beef. Kylie Jenner is also on her list. However, there is a lot more to this story than what Rihanna had with Kendall Jenner. Rihanna and Kylie Jenner are two massive celebrities who built beauty businesses from scratch and became billionaires as a result.
Still, Rihanna remained a billionaire, while Kylie Jenner lost this title once it was clear that Kylie Cosmetics wasn’t exactly as big as the family claimed. However, there is still tension between the two celebrities, and the aspect of net worth might be one spark of their continuing beef.
Who makes more money from her beauty business is a thing, but having dated the same person surely added even more tension. Two years before he met Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott dated Rihanna in secret in 2015, and reportedly spent many hours in the studio while she was recording “B**** Better Have My Money.”
Even though none of them wants to remember that short fling, this could be a reason why Rihanna and Kylie Jenner aren’t BFFs.
Is Rihanna On Speaking Terms With The Kardashians?
The Kardashians are quite a close family, and they sort of ignore or slam their family’s opponents. When Jordan Woods was linked to Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend, Kylie Jenner stopped speaking to her completely. So, Rihanna’s public dislike for some of the sisters certainly doesn’t sit well with the clan.
To highlight her disapproval of Kendall Jenner even more, Rihanna pulled out of a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show when Kendall Jenner was surprisingly added to the list. Her decision didn't seem to be a coincidence since she announced she wasn’t going shortly after everyone found out Kendall Jenner would be there.
“She probably thinks they’re annoying,” concluded one fan. When it comes to the overall public opinion on this situation, fans take Rihanna's side, saying mostly that the main reason why the beef exists is because of how each rose to fame.
According to fans, Rihanna's got “fame and talent” while the Kardashians have only fame. Still, there are many celebrities out there who are close friends and are totally from different industries, like Martha Stuart and Snoop Dog. So, fame shouldn’t be an issue. However, the mentioned reasons add to the tension.
From dating the same people to having the same best friends, it seems that Rihanna has more in common with the Kardashians than she would like to.
