(Side note: I need my TikTok diva, @tismejackieg, to provide a lip-reading of this for my sanity.)View full post on XIn another video, Rihanna appeared to give Rocky a stern look after she spotted him chatting with the creative director of Swarovski, Giovanna Engelbert, as well as EJAE and Tyla.View full post on XOnce the clips made the rounds online, people assumed that (A) Rihanna totally snubbed Tyla, and that (B) she might have been arguing with Rocky. But according to TMZ’s sources, Rih and Rocky weren’t fighting, but actually “totally drained” from a fully packed day.“It was a long day and they were running on empty,” one source told the outlet, which also claimed that “they’re happy, and people are simply overanalyzing a tired moment.”Tyla even weighed in on the speculation in a TikTok video posted on May 6, where she revealed she had a brief interaction with Rih at the Met. “Everyone knows I love Rih, oh my gosh. So, I met her last night, and she was cool,” the “She Did It Again” singer said, in part.View full post on TikTokShe added, “You know, I met her, but I think she was occupied, ’cause…I went up to her. I was like, ‘Oh, hey,’ and she was like, ‘My baby daddy’s calling me.’ And then she left, and I was like, ‘Oh, maybe she was busy. So I don't know. I felt awkward… I don't know how to say hi if I feel like someone’s busy.”Per Tyla’s recap and the behind-the-scenes footage, it does seem like the couple simply wanted to catch some zzz’s after a long night.So…talk that talk, but there’s nothing to see here!
