The woman at the center of the cheating cheating allegation against A$AP Rocky and Rihanna termed the rumor an "unfounded lie". Amina Muaddi, the shoe designer behind the Fenty 2020 collection, released a statement on her Instagram Story on Friday, 15 March, denying any association with Rocky. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who are expecting their first child any day now, are rumored to have split up over cheating allegations.

Muaddi, 36, said she chose to "stand up" because the allegations not only impacted her but also targeted those she "respects and admires." On Thursday, 14 April, journalist Louis Pisano stated on Twitter that Rihanna, 34, and the "Praise the Lord" artist, 33, had split because he allegedly cheated with Muaddi. However, a source close to the pair claims they are still together. The source told Page 6, “They’re fine and it’s not true.”

Muaddi wrote in the statement, “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,” she began. “I initially assumed that this fake gossip — fabricated with such malicious intent — would not be taken seriously. “However in the last 24 hr 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 continued, referring to Rihanna’s pregnancy. The designer ended her statement by wishing everyone a "wonderful Easter weekend."

"She looked fine, and when they walked out they were fine,” said another eyewitness who saw Rihanna and Rocky on a date at Craig's in West Hollywood two weeks ago to Page 6. "It felt normal between them." Rocky and Rihanna have not replied to the claims in public. The couple was also spotted leaving the eatery holding hands.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Rocky's relationship has been believed to be, well, rocky, of late, but the musical combo has traditionally been the model of all that a power couple is supposed to be. From best friends to soon-to-be parents, could the romance between the couple progressed from "love on the brain" to perhaps "unfaithful"?
