Rita was allegedly snubbed by Rihanna at pre and post after-parties celebrating the Grammy Awards on Sunday evening.
Despite both being signed to Jay Z’s Roc Nation record label, the singer reportedly didn’t acknowledge Rita at the events.
However, the 25-year-old star is said to have chatted ‘at length’ to her friend and Rita’s boyfriend Calvin Harris, who produced the brunette stunner’s 2011 hit We Found Love.
A source told The Sun newspaper: ‘Rita and Rihanna were at the same parties all weekend.
‘Rihanna deliberately kept her distance. She talked with Calvin at length but didn’t acknowledge Rita.
‘It was awkward because they have the same management team and move in exactly the same circles.’
Rihanna and Rita were both at the 1 Oak nightclub in West Hollywood, California, and they also attended Roc Nation’s annual pre-Grammys brunch on the same day.
The source added to the publication: ‘Rihanna’s never been much of a fan of Rita because her style is so similar and they compete over songs.’
However, the pair have been known to get close on rare occasions, and Rihanna even kissed Rita on the cheek at the London-based birthday party for Roc Nation executive Tyran 'Ty-Ty' Smith in 2012.
MailOnline have contacted Roc Nation about the pair's reported feud.
This is The Sun though. Usually BS...but it does look like they kept their distance...so The Sun decided to make a full story around the fact that there are no photos of them together.
Death @ the title of this thread. This whole constant "Fashion Icon Rita" tag is becoming a bit of a running gag, but it's especially silly in the same sentence with Rih.
