Law Roach has dismissed speculation of a feud with actress Odessa A’zion after footage from the 2026 Emmy Awards appeared to show an awkward red-carpet exchange between them.
The stylist and A’zion were posing for photographers in Hollywood on Monday night when Zendaya joined them and hugged the actress. As A’zion attempted to leave, photographers asked her to return for another picture alongside Roach and Zendaya.
In the widely shared clip, A’zion initially stands apart while Roach and Zendaya put their arms around one another. She then moves closer and touches Roach’s arm, before appearing to pull away as he leans towards her.
The moment prompted claims on social media that there was tension between Roach and A’zion. Roach has now rejected that suggestion, saying the pair had been laughing and that there was no animosity.
“We were laughing,” Roach said. “I’m having lunch with her this week. There was no shade there.”
