Is Miami the new city of love?
Drake and Rihanna flew to Miami after spending time in New York City for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, and since arriving in the Florida city these two haven't been able to keep their hands off each other!
During Drake's concert Wednesday night, Rihanna appeared on stage and received a kiss from the "One Dance" performer. In return RiRi wrapped her arms around Drake, giving fans the ultimate heartwarming moment. Upon watching these two put their love on display, the crowd broke out into an excited frenzy.
Miami appears to be doubling as a romantic getaway for these two, who have been packing on the PDA wherever they go.
The relationship status between the two pop powerhouses has remained a bit of a mystery for years.
They have appeared on each other’s albums, they have crazy intense chemistry on-screen and they’ve remained coy about the nature of their connection. They give us just enough to conclude they’re a thing (“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old,” Drake said at MTV’s Video Music Awards).
Here’s a rundown: When they met
“The first time I met Robyn Fenty, it was 2005. She was shooting a music video at a Restaurant called Avocado in Toronto. The song was ‘Pon de Replay’ and the director of the video was Little X,” Drake said at the VMAs on Sunday night, as he presented an award to the Barbados superstar. “I was introduced to her as a kid who played background music at the restaurant as people ate their dinner. It’s hard to believe that 11 years later all three of us would come together to create the visual for a song called ‘Work.'”
Little X, now known as Director X, told Complex that Drake wasn’t in “Pon de Replay” but that the rapper “grew up in Toronto and knew all those kids” who appeared as dancers in the video.
When did they first *really* meet
In 2009, Chris Brown was charged for assaulting Rihanna, his then-girlfriend. Media attention on the singer’s love life and her relationship status intensified, and it was about this time that Rihanna was reportedly spotted at Lucky Strike in Manhattan with Drake.
Here’s an excerpt from the Page Sixitem that first fueled speculation about a budding romance between Drake and Rihanna:
The Toronto rapper’s debut album dropped in June 2010, but a couple of songs had leaked on the Internet weeks before. “Fireworks” was among them, and the song addresses his rendezvous with Rihanna and rumors that she felt he had used her for publicity.
Drake says he was a pawn … and then not?
In 2009, Rihanna asked Drake to write her a song, which was never released, but the two began seeing each other regularly, according to the New York Times.
“I was a pawn,” Drake told theTimesin 2010 upon his debut album release.
They continued working with each other
Rihanna and Drake collaborated on many projects over the years, and many of those songs played at the possibility or love or something between them. That includes Rihanna’s 2010 “What’s My Name.”
Of the second portion of the video for “Work,” Swedish director Tim Erem told Entertainment Weeklythat Drake and Rihanna “are just two friends that are really close to each other.
During a February appearance on the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Rihanna was asked about her love life and Drake’s involvement with it.
“I’m single right now,” the singer told DeGeneres, “and it’s not that I’m like, ‘Oh, pro-single, yes, I hate men!’ I just think I have so much on my plate that I can’t even find the time to entertain a steady relationship or anything serious. Or even a text.”
