Tyla explained the moment in a TikTok video, revealing that she first met Rihanna last year. However, Rih allegedly cut the moment short and said her “baby daddy was calling her,” according to Ty.
“Everyone knows I love Rih. So I met her last year and she was cool…I think she was occupied,” she said. “I went up to her, I was like hey…she was like hey, my baby daddy’s calling me and then she left and I was like Ohh. So I don’t know, I fault awkward I don’t know how to say hi if I feel like someone’s busy.”
Tyla said she was waiting for her car in the video with Rihanna at the Met Gala. She added a screenshot of herself standing still. She said she felt Rih was busy, like the last time.
“When we do speak, if we do end up speaking ever, I want it to be like calm, so we both can just, you know, vibe and talk nicely.”
