It’s getting harder and harder to believe Drake and Rihanna aren’t a couple. Last night, Drake presented RiRi with MTV’s Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs and gushed about her in his introductory speech.
“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old,” Drizzy says to the crowd while looking dapper in a suit. The two embraced and shared a kiss after he ended his speech.
Drake set the tone for the presentation early, purchasing a billboard for Rihanna before the ceremony to congratulate her on the award. The two have worked together multiple times, including on each other’s albums this year with the Toronto rapper sharing some bars for “Work” and the singer lending vocals to “Too Good.”
Rihanna performed multiple times throughout the evening, including a compilation of her dancehall-inspired songs (“Work,” “Rude Boy” and “What’s My Name”), a high-energy showcase of “Needed Me,” “Pour It Up” and “Bitch Better Have My Money” and a sequence of her ballads including “Stay” and “Diamonds.”
Drake won the award for Best Hip Hop Video. See the complete list of winners here.

that nigga went in for a kiss and got a cheek
If they really are a couple then Drake and Rihanna are the most powerful and talented power couple we’ve seen thus far. Musically and star power wise Drake and Rihanna are on another level and last night proved that. Jay and Bey are not nearly as talented or successful and Rih Rih washed Bey’s performance. It was uninspired and boring. Shout out to Drake for being the best rapper alive and bagging the biggest girl in the game. That’s a real power move.
bagging the biggest forehead chick in the game.
Power bottom move. Gay as fuck. Dude doesn’t write his shit. The entire industry fucked Rhianna before him. Chris Brown, Jay Z. Sloppy 30ths. He is tounge kissing a prostitute. And getting played out. Went in for a kiss and got the cheek. LOL
How would you know something like that? You sound like a hater bruh. Last I checked Drizzy was doing his dirt too. Stop being a hater just cause Drake is better than your favorite rappers. He used to wanna be on Rocafella but then he surpassed Jay. Last I checked Bey doesn’t even have a functioning uterus and she’s overhyped anyway. She has nothing on Rih Rih so don’t disrespect the King and Queen of hip-hop and entertainment.

RIGHT because all your girls are virgins
best rapper alive..gtfoh, he’s a bitch made pop singer who has others write his raps and has others give him reference tracks so he can learn how to rap them properly without completely fucking them up, steals lyrics and beats from others, ducks and dodges challenges from real MC’s who would destroy him..even rihanna recognises a true bitch made pop tart, she rejected him when he tried to kiss her! LOL
Mainstream commercial rap music is a joke.
Someones got some good brain after that show…
urban pop stars really made rap lose it’s edge
