Rihanna‘s pregnancy reveal at the Met Gala 2025 not only made for a viral moment, but it was also the basis for two stars burying the hatchet. The “Diamonds” singer and Ciara delivered an iconic moment from the event, proving that they have left behind their decade-old feud.
In a photo from the gala, the two stars were all smiles as Ciara cradled her fellow artist’s baby bump. The duo previously engaged in a heated X (formerly Twitter) exchange in 2011 but ultimately apologized to each other.
Ciara and Rihanna reunite after viral Twitter beef 14 years ago
Ciara and Rihanna may have had some bad blood, but it looks like all’s well between them now. The two reunited at the Met Gala 2025, posing for a picture together after Rihanna announced her third pregnancy with A$AP Rocky upon her arrival. The photo captures Ciara placing her hand on the singer’s baby bump, proving that they have seemingly squashed their viral X (formerly Twitter) beef from 14 years ago.
For those unaware, the two celebs engaged in a heated exchange on the social media platform in 2011. It began with Ciara recalling her unpleasant “run-in” with Rihanna at a party during an appearance on E!’s Fashion Police as a guest judge. Back then, Ciara revealed that the pop icon was the “nicest” to her as compared to their previous interactions. This, however, didn’t sit well with Rihanna, beginning a war of words on X.
Rihanna, who appeared to have watched the show, tweeted, “My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme.” Ciara then responded, saying that the singer would not hope to interact with her both on and off the stage. The Fenty Beauty founder then delivered another shady response and said, “Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.”
Eventually, Rihanna and Ciara reportedly apologized to each other. The former expressed that her fellow artist hurt her feelings, causing her to respond on the platform. Although this exchange was long ago, it made for a lasting memory in pop culture archives.
With their Met Gala 2025 reunion, it appears as though Ciara and Rihanna are turning a fresh page on their relationship.
