Rihanna and Naomi Campbell have had beef rumors swirling around them for years now, none of which have really manifested into anything concrete. That being said, we don't really blame folks for assuming that they don't like each other given what little we have seen. For example, both superstars attended a New York Fashion Week event on Friday (September 6). The Dior partner went up to greet a man who was sitting right next to Campbell, and RiRi didn't seem to acknowledge her at all.

And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility."
However, RiRi might have to make some major moves in her fashion-related businesses soon. Her CEO for Savage X Fenty quit after a year, instead taking a position at Victoria's Secret. It's unclear how this will impact Rihanna's endeavors, and we still don't have much news as to what the next steps are. If only there was a supermodel with decades of experience and plenty of style and business acumen to ask advice from...
