This year's Met Gala featured numerous celebrities making their appearances, including Rihanna and Rocky.
As mentioned earlier, a video of the pair's interaction at the event went viral on social media. This led to several netizens speculating about the duo's relationship.
Investigative and forensic lipreader Nicola Hickling spoke to Online Casino Canada, regarding the video. Hickling said the conversation appeared tense from outside the vehicle.
According to Hickling, Rihanna said, “You don’t care for me do you?” Rocky replied, “Are you for real? You’re crazy. Can’t you see, c*ap c*ap.”
Following this, Rihanna said, “Get out, I can’t be around you.” Rocky responded by saying, “I’m done here.”
“You’re done? I’m done. I’m tired. Now you’re done, you can drop me,” Rihanna fired back. “You trying something, hey. Try,” Rocky said.

Additionally, body language expert Inbaal Honigman analyzed another video clip on behalf of Casino.org. The clip showed Rihanna looking at Rocky while he spoke with a woman in the background.
“She shakes her head from side to side, clearly unhappy with his response. Her quizzical expression combines narrowed eyes with lightly pursed lips, signaling that she is looking for answers, not excuses. Rihanna does not take her eyes off him until he provides the information she wants,” Honigman said.
Honigman stated that the Stay singer’s contact was “intense, almost searing her partner.” She said Rihanna jutting her chin forward could indicate Rocky “hurt her pride.”
The expert added, “She is not smiling at all, which suggests she is not interested in humor or deflection. She wants direct answers.”
Honigman said Rocky appeared uncomfortable and fidgeted with his clothing. “Their interaction appears confrontational,” the expert said.

Another user commented, “Oh [expletive] that’s a serious argument and you can tell they tired of each other, I just hope they don’t get a divorce soon.”
An individual stated, “She gone [expletive] her [expletive] off... acting all matronly and controlling. Fix your face. That man openly expresses his love and appreciation of you! Don't push it.”
“Just normal husband and wife interaction.. what do you expect? to be happy and smiling 24/7? Shut the [expletive] up,” wrote another.
While the internet can’t seem to decide what to interpret from their conversation, a source clarified that the internet is overanalyzing the situation.
An unnamed source told TMZ the couple did not face any trouble in their relationship, attributing their demeanor to exhaustion. The source said they were active for nearly 16 hours prior to the event.
