Rihanna Responds to EJ Johnson's Criticism of Paris Fashion Week Behavior
The singer offered a brief but pointed reply to EJ Johnson's comments about her tardiness to a Dior show.
Rihanna has responded to EJ Johnson, son of NBA legend Magic Johnson, after he commented on her late arrival to a Dior show during Paris Fashion Week. Johnson, who is described as a 'nepo baby' in media coverage, had stated in an Instagram video that the show started an hour late due to Rihanna's delay, adding, 'we didn't care to wait for her.'
Rihanna, 38, addressed the remark by commenting "damn" on an Instagram reel showing Johnson having difficulty entering his hotel in Paris. Her reply has garnered significant attention, with nearly 22,000 likes.
The incident occurred during Paris Fashion Week, where Rihanna attended the Dior Womenswear Spring/Summer 2027 show. She made a notable entrance in a black dress with a stylish cover-up, black closed-toe heels, and her hair styled in an updo. She accessorized with silver earrings, an anklet, and sunglasses.
Other notable celebrities in attendance at the Dior show included Jennifer Lawrence, Rosalia, Mia Goth, and Anya Taylor-Joy.
Following the fashion event, Rihanna was seen supporting her partner, A$AP Rocky, at his "Don't Be Dumb" World Tour concert in Paris. The couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2020, are parents to three children. A$AP Rocky has spoken about his approach to fatherhood, emphasizing the importance of being emotionally present and teaching his children discipline and humility to avoid them being considered 'nepo babies.'
Rihanna has also been active with her Savage x Fenty brand, recently modeling lingerie from her latest collection. She has occasionally shared glimpses of her children on social media, including her youngest daughter, Rocki.
