Rihanna appears to have delivered a very pointed response after Magic Johnson's child EJ Johnson complained about allegedly having to wait for the superstar at Paris Fashion Week.
The 38-year-old singer was among the A-list guests at Dior's Spring/Summer 2027 show on September 29, joining stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Anya Taylor-Joy and Cynthia Erivo on the front row.
But according to EJ, 34, Rihanna’s arrival came considerably later than expected – and allegedly pushed back the start of the entire show.

"We just left the Dior show. Getting out of there was crazy, but the show itself was beautiful," EJ said.
They then claimed the presentation had started "an hour late because Rihanna was late", before adding: "We didn't care to wait for her."

A separate video surfaced online showing EJ outside a Paris hotel surrounded by photographers before apparently being prevented from immediately entering the building by security.
Rihanna subsequently appeared in the comments section with just one word: "Damn."

Neither Rihanna nor EJ has publicly elaborated further on the apparent exchange.
EJ, the child of NBA icon Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie Johnson, first rose to prominence as a cast member on E!'s Rich Kids of Beverly Hills before going on to front their own reality series, EJNYC.

Rihanna, meanwhile, has long enjoyed a close relationship with Dior and made a typically glamorous entrance at the label's latest Paris presentation.

Her Dior appearance formed part of a packed Paris Fashion Week schedule, which also saw her attend the Matières Fécales Spring 2027 show.
