'Not in Good Terms Anymore': Fans Express Concern Over Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Met Gala Fiasco

While Rihanna and A$AP Rocky turned heads with their Met Gala 2026 appearance, the duo also sparked rumors of a drifting romance.

As the couple were spotted inside a Sprinter van after the event, they seemed to be bickering about something intense.

Body language expert Inbaal Honigman even hinted that Rocky might have “hurt her [Rihanna] pride.”

Further, as forensic lip-reader Nicola Hickling dissected the interaction between the duo, fans wondered how it might affect their relationship, here onwards.

The two have known each other since 2012 and fell in love in 2020.

After the Met Gala incident, many fans are wondering whether these are signs of a strained relationship.

Rihanna and Rocky are parents to three children: two sons, RZA and Riot, and a daughter Rocki. Although the duo has rarely sparked break-up rumors, their Met Gala feud has left fans anxious.

Taking to X, one user wrote, “Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are not in good terms anymore.”

Fans worry yet another Hollywood “IT couple” might fall apart, as Rihanna reportedly told Rocky to “go back to the hotel and stay with their kids.”

Some netizens believe that Rihanna being the breadwinner of the family might be causing a power clash.

Meanwhile, the whole situation came to the fore after Hickling broke down the couple's conversation while speaking for Online Casino Canada.

According to Hickling, the pop star said, “You don’t care for me do you?” In response, Rocky branded her “crazy.”

The Umbrella singer then said, “Get out, I can't be around you.” The rapper retaliated by saying, “I’m done here.”

Following this, Rihanna said, “You’re done? I’m done. I’m tired. Now you’re done, you can drop me.”

After the lip reader's comments, Honigman weighed in on the couple's alleged feud.

“Rihanna is the one asking the questions, her eyes fixed on Rocky with determined focus… Rihanna’s chin is jutting forward, a gesture often associated with pride,” Honigman stated.

Honigman added, “It is possible that Rocky has hurt her pride, and that this is the subject of the discussion… Rocky's eyebrows are raised into a triangular shape, communicating distress.”

“This appears to be an argument he does not want to have… Their interaction appears confrontational,” the expert further said.

Meanwhile, after Honigman noted that the “interaction appears confrontational,” people connected the dots with an incident that occurred on the red carpet.

According to reports, while Rihanna was giving an interview at Met Gala, Rocky appeared to be talking to a woman.

Following this, the pop star reportedly gave a serious look to Rocky in the middle of her interview. A number of social media users now believe that the particular woman might have caused distress between the couple.

However, sources familiar with the situation told TMZ that the woman was Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert.

She is a former Italian model-turned-businesswoman who works as a fashion editor and stylist.

However, sources confirmed that there's “no romantic energy” between Engelbert and Rocky.

Instead, the insider stated that the Italian businesswoman has “a lot of respect” for the Fenty Beauty founder.
