What Happened To Matt Rife? Controversies on Matt Rife
Matt Rife & Zendaya
During his stint on an episode of Wild 'N Out, he once tested the waters with none other than the Queen herself, Zendaya.
In a 2015 video, Zendaya, at 18, joined Nick Cannon's show and faced off against Matt's team.
In a "Talking Spit" game segment, 19-year-old Matt playfully tried to make Zendaya laugh and spit out water.
Things took a slightly weird turn when he invaded her personal space, commenting on her race and awkwardly asking for her number.
Body Shaming
Matt Rife has had his fair share of controversies following his breakout into the industry. Earlier last year, he stirred up controversy with a rather inappropriate remark about women's bodies during a discussion on the Stiff Socks podcast, sparking a wave of criticism on social media. It's no wonder he has several failed relationships.
You can find what he said here.
Domestic Violence Joke
Matt Rife was also criticized for cracking insensitive jokes about domestic violence in his Netflix special, Natural Selection.
He told a tale of a quirky Baltimore eatery where he was wondering why a server with a black eye wasn't hidden in the kitchen. He said, “Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have that black eye." While addressing the audience, he described the controversial joke as testing the waters for their sense of humor, believing that starting with domestic violence sets the tone for a smooth show.
Unsurprisingly, the joke sparked social media controversy, prompting Rife to apologize humorously on Instagram. In an already-deleted post, he wrote, "If you've ever been offended by a joke I've told—here's a link to my official apology.”
His message included a link labeled "Tap to solve the issue," redirecting users to a health website selling special needs helmets. Mocking those offended by his domestic violence joke by linking it to special needs gear only fueled the controversy further.
Weird Comments to a Minors
In December 2023, Rife stirred up more controversy with his inappropriate comment towards a six-year-old, stating that the child’s mother bought gifts with money earned on OnlyFans.
Despite all these controversies, the comedian still manages to stay relevant, undeterred by the backlash he has faced. It’s best to say he knows how to cheat the cancel culture.

However, little can only be said about their time together. At 23, Rife spilled the details about his year-long romance with Beckinsale, labeling it a "complicated" journey with plenty of highs and lows.
