The 2025 Met Gala witnessed the end of an over-decade-long beef between music stars Rihanna and Ciara.
The Met Gala 2025 took place on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and one of the highlights was seeing Rihanna and Ciara being chummy with each other at the event.
The Barbadian singer, who recently announced her third pregnancy by showcasing her baby bump at the Met Gala, and Ciara made social media headlines over 14 years ago when they tackled each other on Twitter in 2011.

The beef started when Ciara was on the E! Fashion Police show as a guest judge and she shared her unpleasant encounter with Rihanna. According to her, Rihanna wasn’t the nicest person when they met. She said:
“I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn’t the nicest and it’s crazy because I’ve always loved and respected what she’s done with fashion. I’ve ran into her before, but this time it wasn’t the most pleasant run-in.”
Not long after, Rihanna took to Twitter (now X) to respond to Ciara. This led to a back and forth between both women. See the old tweets below:
In new photos that surfaced of Rihanna and Ciara at the Met Gala, they appeared to be in high spirits with Riri even letting Ciara cradle her growing baby bump.
