It seems that Law Roach is dismissing rumors that his retirement as a stylist has anything to do with a front-row seat at a recent Louis Vuitton fashion show.

ā€œPlease stop itā€¦.. there was never a problem with a seat,ā€ he tweeted on Tuesday.

Please stop itā€¦.. there was never a problem with a seat

His latest remark follows comments he made last week about his and Zendayaā€™s relationship, tweeting that their bond is still strong even amid his retirement.

ā€œSo yā€™all really think Iā€™m breaking up with Zā€¦..we are forever!ā€ Roach wrote. ā€œSheā€™s my little sister and itā€™s real love not the fake industry love.ā€

Itā€™s unclear if he will return to styling. He announced his retirement earlier that week, writing on Instagram: ā€œMy Cup is emptyā€¦.. thank you to everyone whoā€™ve supported me and my career over the years. Every person that trusted me with their image, Iā€™m so grateful for you all.ā€

He continued, ā€œIf this business was just about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately itā€™s not! The politics, the lies, and false narratives finally got me! You winā€¦Iā€™m out.ā€

At the time, it looked like his news might have been triggered by his feeling insulted at the Louis Vuitton fashion show. In footage from the show, Roach walks in with Zendaya and appears to expect to sit next to her. However, there isnā€™t another seat available in the front rowā€”only in the row behind Zendaya.

Roach also discussed the incident in a recent interview with The Cut, telling the outlet, ā€œIn my mind, my seat was next to her. So when I got there and it wasnā€™t, you know, it wasnā€™t a problem, but there was nobody to tell me where my actual seat was,ā€ he said. ā€œAnd so the seat behind her, when you see her turn around and touch the seat, it wasnā€™t her telling me to sit there, it was her telling me like, ā€˜Thatā€™s Darnellā€™s seat,ā€™ which is her assistant. Iā€™m not gonna sit in Darnellā€™s seat,ā€ he said.

Roach added that he was ā€œconfusedā€ because he has a long-standing relationship with Louis Vuitton and his seat is typically next to Zendayaā€™s. 

People then blamed Zendaya for what happened. ā€œThat became really tough because it made people think that Zendaya wasnā€™t taking care of me and wasnā€™t making sure I was taken care of,ā€ he said. 

He also explained that people then thought he had beef with Delphine Arnault, the CEO of Christian Dior, and LVMH, which he explained he doesnā€™t, and that he and Zendaya still attended the after-party.

Roach also recently sart down with Emily Ratajkowski where he further discussed his relationship with Zendaya. Check out a portion of their conversation below.
