Have Drake and Rihanna Been Dating for Months?
Drake and Rihanna have been getting very cozy onstage during their performance of "Work" at spot dates on RihRih's ANTI world tour. Unsurprisingly, the public affection has triggered romance rumors and now a source has come out and said the two have been secretly dating for months.
According to People, the duo have been keeping things on the low in an effort to keep their names out of public headlines. "They have been keeping it a secret because this time around, they want to do it right and keep their relationship private," a source told the publication.
The two gave a steamy performance of "Work" at Wednesday (May 4) night's show at Los Angeles arena The Forum and were spotted partying at The Nice Guy where they were "dancing all night together."
"They were being very affectionate," a club goer told People.
On the night Views dropped, Drizzy did an interview with Zane Lowe of Beats 1. When asked about Rihanna he commented that the two have great chemistry.
"We're not just forcing the story. We have genuine energy between us," said the rapper. "We do great music together . . . I think [our chemistry is] what makes the records better."
Drake and Rihanna have had dating rumors swirling around them for seven-plus years now. Back in 2010, the Toronto MC took part in XXL's "Doin' Lines" section and finished the sentence "People thought I was dating Rihanna and it was..." with "semi-true."
Since then, the two have collabed on chart-topping songs, fueled the rumors with sultry videos, been at the center of club brawls and much more. Check out the ten moments that started the dating rumors as selected by XXL.
