Kylie Jenner and Stassie Karanikolaou made sure fans were keeping up with their fake feud.
Amid speculation the longtime besties had a falling out after Karanikolaou didnât attend Jennerâs birthday party, the duo set the record straight, revealing that not only is there not a feud between them, but also that they fueled the rumors just for fun.
âIn the beginning when I kept seeing this narrative, I remember you were texting me things like, âEveryone thinks we hate each other, LOL,ââ Jenner told Karanikolaou on the Aug. 26 episode of her and Victoria Villarroelâs Better Half podcast. âI was lie, âWho actually cares?ââ
âBut now itâs been like two months, and itâs becoming a thing,â she continued, âIâm like, âOK, now it needs to be addressed.'â
Jenner, 29, and Karanikolaou, also 29, detailed how it all went down, sharing they had continued to send each other videos about their alleged feud. After finding the rumors to be âso funny,â they decided to continue making it appear that there was drama between them.
âI told Stas, I said, âWe have to keep this feud up,ââ Jenner recalled. âI happened to be doing the podcast anyway, so Iâm like, âWe have to keep the feud up. Letâs drag it.ââ
But their ruseâwhich even included creating a fake trailer for the podcast conversationâhit a minor snag when they both attended mutual friend Jordyn Woodsâ wedding to Karl-Anthony Towns on Aug. 15.
âWhen we just went to Jordyn's wedding, Stas kept getting too close,â Jenner jokingly recalled. âI was like, âStop talking to me. We're supposed to be beefing right now!'â
Then, Villarroel shared a photo of all three of the ladies together, admitting that she âdidnât think it through.â Kylie recalled telling her friend, âDelete this right now âcause Stas and I hate each other.â
After Villarroel highlighted how âcrazyâ a fake ânarrativeâ can explode online, Jenner and Karanikolaou broke down the origins of the speculation: Karanikolaouâs absence at Jennerâs 29th birthday.
As for why she was on a yacht in Ibiza instead of at her BFF's birthday?
âI was supposed to come back on the 8th,â Karanikolaou shared, âyou decide to have your party on the 6th because you were going out of town.â
The influencer emphasized that since she and Jenner âhave been friends for so longâ they âobviouslyâ had previously discussed that Karanikolaou wasnât going to be there.
Jennerâmom to kids Stormi Webster, 8, and Aire Webster, 4, with ex Travis Scottâ agreed, adding, âI think thatâs just what adulting is these days. Unfortunately guys, we have schedules.â
The Kylie Cosmetics founder summed up the topic by telling the camera, âThereâs nothing to say âcause nothing's going on.â
And ultimately, navigating speculation such as this isnât anything new for Jenner.
âIâm so used to people creating their own narrative that I actually have to just laugh about it,â she explained. âI really don't care because I just assume people will figure it out eventually.â
