Rihanna claps back at EJ Johnson’s Paris Fashion Week shade with epic 1-word response

Rude boy.

Rihanna clapped back at EJ Johnson after the TV star shaded the singer for being an hour late to the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week on Sept. 29.

Earlier this week, the “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” alum, who uses they/them pronouns, took to Instagram to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at them getting ready to go to the luxury designer’s show.

After the show, Johnson, 34, gave his followers a rundown of what happened — including Rihanna’s tardiness.

“It did start an hour late because Rihanna was late and you know … we didn’t care to wait for her but the show was beautiful nonetheless,” they said in the clip.

A day later, a video surfaced of Johnson being blocked from entering his Paris hotel after they posed for a swarm of paparazzi.

“Damn,” the “Umbrella” singer, 38, simply wrote in the comments section.

Page Six has reached out to reps for both Rihanna and Johnson but did not immediately hear back.

After the discourse made headlines, several videos surfaced of Johnson throwing shade at Rihanna surfaced online.

Following the Met Gala 2026 in May, Johnson claimed the “big names” such as Beyoncé, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian “fell short” with their looks.

“It’s a very hard day — especially for me to say that about Rihanna because she’s been going through a lot but like let’s go back to Guo Pei and the yellow cape that was cascading down the stairs all those years ago,” Johnson said in an Instagram video, referring to the Fenty Beauty founder’s stunning Met Gala 2015 look.

“I mean, it was bomb,” the nepo baby added.

In another viral clip, Johnson showed off a Bottega calf-skin cape that they purchased.

“I think this is the one that Rihanna wore after the show,” the “Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” voice actor said.

“I think she wore the sample that came down the runway but I was actually the only person that bought it off the runway,” Johnson added.
