Rihanna commented 'damn' on an Instagram video posted on Friday, 2 October, showing EJ Johnson struggling to enter a Paris hotel. Her comment followed Johnson's criticism of her arrival at Dior's Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris on Tuesday, 29 September.
For context, Johnson, the son of NBA legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, attended the Dior presentation and later shared a Paris Fashion Week recap. In the Instagram video, posted on Wednesday, 30 September, Johnson praised the show but claimed Rihanna's lateness had delayed its start by an hour.
