Kylie Jenner calls out Jennifer Lopez’s fiance Alex Rodriguez for ‘rich’ comment

Former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has been forced to backtrack after dishing about conversations he had at his celebrity-filled table at this year’s Met Ball.

“We had a great table,” the 43-year-old fiance of Jennifer Lopez said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. “The black guy from The Wire — Idris Elba, yeah, and his new wife. Some famous singer next to me, I don’t know what her name is. Versace — Donatella.

“We had Kylie and Kendall. And we had an Asian gentleman from Rich Asians, the lead. Kylie was talking about Instagram and her lipstick, and how rich she is.’

The New York Post reports that Rodriguez’s comment caused a huge stir, prompting the 21-year-old makeup mogul to call him out on Twitter.

“Umm no i didn’t,” Jenner tweeted in response to one headline about A-Rod’s quip. “We only spoke about Game of Thrones.”

Rodriguez saw the reality star’s tweet and felt compelled to clear the air.

“OMG that’s right @KylieJenner!! It was me talking about you and your makeup line and how much my girls love you,” he replied, adding, “#GOT #respect #alllove.”

Either way, Jenner certainly is rich: She was named Forbes’ youngest self-made billionaire earlier this year.
