*After years of alleged on-again, off-again dating, Rihanna says she and Drake aren’t even friends anymore.
In an interview with Vogue, the “Oceans 8” star recalled Drake’s touching speech of her Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV VMAs, as well as the billboard he rented in her honor.
“The VMAs is such a fan-focused awards show, so having that energy around me, and knowing the people who had received the award in the past, made it feel like a big deal,” Rihanna said in the magazine’s June 2018 issue. “Waiting through that speech was probably the most uncomfortable part. I don’t like too many compliments; I don’t like to be put on blast.”
Their relationship was only briefly public and RiRi admits that today: “We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. It is what it is.”

Drake has reportedly dated many women since their split, from model Bella Hadid and actress Bria Vinaite — but many believe he still holds a special place in his heart for Rihanna based on his cryptic social media posts.
Rihanna confirmed to Vogue that she’s currently in a relationship, though she wouldn’t say with whom — but she has been spotted getting cozy with Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
In her wide-ranging interview with Vogue, Rihanna also spoke about the huge success of her Fenty beauty line, the upcoming Met Gala and how she finds herself in a much better space now that she’s 30.
“Even mentally, just to be away from my phone, to be in the moment, that has been key for my growth. Now, when I come to work, I’m all in. Because before you know it, the years will go by. I’m glad I’m taking the time. I’m happy,” she said. “I used to feel guilty about taking personal time. But I also think I never met someone who was worth it before.”
Meanwhile… Rihanna has revealed that her follow-up album to 2016’s “Anti” will be heavily reggae-influenced.
