Amina Muaddi, a prominent shoe designer who was behind Rihanna's Fenty 2020 collection, released a statement Friday addressing the rumor and calling it "fake gossip."  "I've always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn't deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile.

I initially assumed that this fake gossip - fabricated with such malicious intent - would not be taken seriously. However in the last 24h I've been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits.

Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one's life," Muaddi's statement begins. "Therefore I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for.
