South African songstress Tyla has shared a video containing a cryptic message to her fans after being ignored by Rihanna at the Met Gala 2026.
The Met Gala 2026 was a spectacular night, celebrities showcased stunning and creative fashion, making it a truly memorable and glamorous occasion.
Stars from Hollywood, the music industry, and reality TV gathered for the prestigious event, using the platform to display their bold and unique styles.
Tyla was among the celebrities who made the list for this special night, but she was ignored by Rihanna during the event.
In the edited video, Tyla inserted herself into a viral road rage clip. While someone aggressively knocked on the car window, Tyla appeared calm and unbothered in the driver’s seat, singing along to her hit song. The caption read: “I kinda like this one… Nasty African girl.”
The message puzzled many commenters, with the majority condemning Rihanna for ignoring the rising star who looks up to her as a role model.
After watching it repeatedly, I came to agree with one commenter who interpreted the message as Rihanna probably being busy when Tyla awkwardly tried to approach her. She had just shared a great moment with her, so the situation was unfortunate.
