\n\tAs Meek Mill<\/a> once rapped, \u201cIt\u2019s levels to this s\u2013t.\u201d Charlamagne Tha God<\/a> warned EJ Johnson about criticizing Rihanna<\/a> during the Saturday (Oct. 10) episode of The Brilliant Idiots.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a radio personality who\u2019s well-versed in public feuds<\/a>, Charlamagne shared some advice for EJ \u2014 the child of basketball legend Magic Johnson \u2014 which revolved around being smarter about choosing his opposition. Essentially, CTG believes it\u2019s a no-win situation when attacking the likes of RiRi, Beyonc\u00e9 <\/a>or other Black queens.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNow listen, there\u2019s a lot of queens EJ stepping on. Like 99 percent of queens EJ stepping on,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s that one percent that EJ just not going to ever be able to touch. Rihanna\u2019s one of them. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCharlamagne continued: \u201cI respect EJ\u2019s place in this queendom, but he\u2019s gotta know there\u2019s certain queens he\u2019s never gonna outshine. Rihanna, Beyonc\u00e9 \u2014 of course the OG queens, the Patti LaBelles, the Stephanie Mills, all of them like that. Other than that, EJ, you having your way with these hoes out here. They all hating on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEJ Johnson had called out Rihanna in a social media video at Paris Fashion Week, alleging that the Fenty Beauty mogul\u2019s tardiness caused Dior to delay the fashion house\u2019s Sept. 29 show for an hour.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt did start an hour late because Rihanna\u2019s was late and we didn\u2019t care to wait for her, but the show was beautiful nonetheless,\u201d the 34-year-old TV personality said in a TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRihanna didn\u2019t respond publicly to Johnson\u2019s claims about her attending the Dior show, but clapped back with a slick one-word reply a few days later, as footage of Johnson<\/a> being blocked from entering their Paris hotel went viral.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDamn,\u201d Ri wrote<\/a> in the comments, which now has more 47,000 likes.<\/p>\n

\n\tRihanna\u2019s response lit the fuse as fans continued to gas their feud on social media. \u201cShe\u2019s the Dior ambassador so of course they\u2019re going to wait for the FACE of Dior,\u201d one person wrote on IG. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tEJ Johnson previously slammed Rihanna when it came to her look at the 2026 Met Gala<\/a>, which Johnson believed \u201cdid not eat.\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n
