It seems like all is not well in paradise for celebrity power couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. In a couple of viral videos, the pair appeared to be arguing at the 2026 Met Gala.
What’s Going On With Rihanna And A$AP Rocky?
Two videos have surfaced showing some level of tension between the couple, whose maternal grandparents are allegedly South African. The first video, shared by TMZ on 5 May, shows the couple sitting across from each other, conversing. However, A$AP’s body language and facial expressions suggest that there might have been some tension between them.
In another video, viewers see the couple on the red carpet, with A$AP freely chatting with a woman standing behind Rihanna. Rihanna, who stole the show at last year’s Met Gala, appears uncomfortable with the situation and quickly diverts her attention to a nearby reporter for an interview.
Rihanna, who revealed her third pregnancy, was seen looking stunning, as always. However, the tension between her and A$AP Rocky was palpable. The South African credits TMZ and @30bgphoenixx for the videos below, which show the tension that people are talking about.
People in the comments section defended Rihanna’s reaction, stating that they would also feel annoyed if their partner acted overly friendly with someone of the opposite gender. @30bgphoenixx wrote: “Rihanna was clearly not comfortable seeing A$AP Rocky having a “good time” with a mysterious lady, her facial expressions say it all, she knows damn well black men can’t be fully trusted.”
Other commenters, such as @Kelcastlee, @Cebe_lihle23, and @Empress_tings, also shared their thoughts on the situation. They felt that A$AP Rocky was being too friendly with the mysterious lady, and that Rihanna’s reaction was justified.
