#STAY RIHANNA PLUS#
They didn’t appear romantically linked, however, plus RiRi was also spotted getting cozy with A$AP Rocky. Perhaps this is a simple testament to the old adage “time heals all wounds.” Following the party, the now-notorious pair made waves when they were seen attending the Yams Day benefit concert together in Brooklyn. For starters, Rihanna’s recent breakup with Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel back in January seems to have coincided with a reconnection with Drake.Īt the very least, they’re back on actively friendly terms, as evidenced by the fact that she spent “several hours” at his birthday party this past October before her breakup, and he seemed pretty happy about it. Yet if history has taught us anything, it’s that RiRi and Drake are forever unfolding. In 2018, Rihanna was very matter-of-fact when she stated that she and Drake were no longer even friends, saying, “We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. They still love each other, but their schedules have gotten in the way.” I don’t like too many compliments I don’t like to be put on blast.” Ouch.Īround that time it was reported that, “Rihanna and Drake are seeing other people at the moment. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.Īfter attempting to reignite the flame in 2016, Drake and Rihanna abruptly called it quits in October of that year, not long after Drake declared his love at the MTV Video Music Awards, a stunt of which RiRi later said, “Waiting through that speech was probably the most Much like Drake, she also has expressed very similar issues with valuing her independence and also wanting someone she could trust.Īnd I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. Rihanna is similarly in bed with her independence, having stated that she’s both “not looking for a man,” and that she would “‘wait forever’ if that’s what it takes for a man she can actually connect with to show up.” You look behind the curtain at some people’s relationships and they’re not as peachy as they seem.
In a moment of vulnerability, Drake admitted that he has doubts about relationships. On being called a “hopeless romantic,” Drake explained that it was his response to being told, “You can’t be single forever.” The fact that he hasn’t settled down with anyone has made him the subject of multiple inquiries. “Hopefully I can find somebody that can just stand beside me at the wheel and help me steer while we keep the journey going as opposed to me having to pull over because that person is getting seasick,” he continued. It has to be someone that has taste in music, it has to be somebody, you know, that I get along with so much to the point when we’re separate I’m feeling like I can’t function properly without their presence. “I love my work and I love my routine, and for me to break that for somebody it would just have to be like a really special person that fits into that puzzle and that is supportive of the things I’m doing…” Drake confessed. Ultimately, what it comes down to is that he’s single because he loves his freedom. It was at a really fragile time in my life, so I just didn’t want to get too serious with anything or anyone at that time.” Autonomous over amorousness…x2?ĭrake has taken advantage of many an interview to detail how his ambition and his passion for music make him hyper independent, which in turn makes finding a romantic partner challenging.
“I definitely was attracted to Drake, but I think it is what it is, like it was what it was.
I was like, ‘Wow, this feels terrible.’īut then in a followup interview, he dialed it back a bit, saying that Rihanna is an “overwhelming and incredible person.” Of course, Rihanna dispelled the notion that she’d used Drake at all, using ‘we’ statements all the way. You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. In a famous 2010 interview with The New York Times, Drake confessed he felt used by Rihanna: Before we begin parsing out how and why it never really worked out between Drake and Rihanna, it’s first worth acknowledging the fact that they were never officially a couple, seemingly due to longterm hesitation and confusion stemming from both sides.īetween 2009, just months after their first date, up until very recently, anyone who’s paid attention to the spectacle of their romance has been bombarded with an endless stream of alleged makeups, breakups, hot dates, steamy collaborations, declarations of (sort of) togetherness, declarations that their relationship was open, sordid stories of cheating or wandering eyes…Īnd as though to put a big ol’ cherry on top, there’s the persistent denial that they were ever a thing to begin with, mostly but not entirely on Rihanna’s end.
