The woman sitting in the middle of a viral cheating rumor about A$AP Rocky has cleared the air. Fashion designer Amina Muaddi jumped on her social accounts to shut down the narrative that Rocky stepped out on Rihanna. Amina described the story as a “lie,” “fake gossip” and “vile,” in her written statement.
Neither Rocky or Rihanna have publicly acknowledged the misinformation, but a directly linked source also backed Amina’s slam calling the story “1 million percent not true.”
“I’ve always believed that an unfortunate lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile,” Amina wrote. I initially assumed this fake gossip –fabricated with such malicious intent– would not be taken seriously.
Just two days ago, Amina reposted a recent paparazzi photo of Rihanna wearing a light pink top, jeans and Ursina pumps from the designer’s collection. While the talks grew overnight, Amina broke her silence on Friday for the sake of everyone involved.
“…We live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits,” Amina continued. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one’s life.”
For the designer, all it took was one day for her to realize the necessity of speaking up, especially with the involvement of her client’s private life.
“…it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for,” Amina wrote. “While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business- I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend!”
Earlier this week, Voguepublished a stunning spread of baby bumpin’ photos of the international superstar. In the subsequent interview, Rihanna spoke lovingly of her romance with A$AP Rocky, saying she can “do any part of life” with the artist.
What I love the most about us? Transparency with everything: how were feeling, what our goals are, what our fears and insecurities are, Rihanna said. The vulnerability to be able to say what you feel about each other.
And with that, it looks like: the wheel bend and the story end — word to Caribbean gyal Rihanna. If you know, you know.
