Rihanna has finally addressed her rumored beef with EJ Johnson.
And the Bajan superstar has offered quite the explanation for her viral clapback at Magic Johnson‘s son.
After weeks of speculation about tension between the pair following their Paris Fashion Week drama, RiRi has broken her silence.
Her response? She simply “felt bad” for him.
Full story below…
The Fenty mogul was spotted outside Los Angeles hotspot Celine on Saturday night (November 14), where she was quizzed about her apparent fallout with Johnson.
Speaking to TMZ, Rihanna insisted there was no animosity between them.
She declared:
“There’s no beef.”
And when asked about her now-infamous comment, she explained:
“I just felt bad for him.”
The remarks come over a month after we reported on the eyebrow-raising exchange.
Johnson had complained that Rihanna’s late arrival delayed Dior’s Spring/Summer 2027 runway show by an hour.
The reality personality pointedly remarked:
“Rihanna was late… we didn’t care to wait for her.”
Days later, footage surfaced of Johnson being temporarily denied entry to a Paris hotel.
Ms. Fenty subsequently slid into the comments with one word: “Damn.”
Naturally, the timing raised eyebrows, with many interpreting the remark as a shady response to Johnson’s earlier criticism.
Now, RiRi insists there was no beef and that her comment came from a place of sympathy.
Of course, whether that explanation puts the shade speculation to rest is another matter entirely.
