Drake has been in love with Rihanna since he was 22 years old.
At the 2016 VMAs, Drake gave Rihanna a heartfelt loving speech about her career and their friendship. His speech had everyone on the edge of their seats wondering and waiting for Drake to propose.
Even before Drake and Rihanna collaborated on the songs “Work” and “Too good” people were freaking out and excited about the possibility of them dating. Pictures and videos of the two appeared all over social media, with people wondering if they were dating yet.
“Their music styles are similar and they sound good together, I love it they’re cute,” said senior Sidney Walker.
Drake and Rihanna have been friends for a long time now, since the recording or Rihanna’s first song “Pon de Replay.” They are both single, and because of this there have been many dating rumors surrounding the two.  After seeing them at the VMAs it seems very likely that the rumors could be true. Everyone is in love with the new hip-hop power couple.
“On Twitter everyone is like relationship goals, I’m conflicted because that means Drake is off the market, but they’re cute,” said senior Katie Kachejian.
They are clearly benefiting from the attention; their hit song “Work” was Billboard number 1 for 59 weeks which is tied with The Beatles for the second most cumulative weeks on the top of the charts. Their success together musically is a mix between them looking good together and them sounding great.

It’s like we can’t escape their romance, we see them in magazines, on social media, and on TV. Every time the paparazzi snaps a picture of them holding hands, eating, partying, or walking home from the others hotel in borrowed clothes, you can find it on someone’s Twitter with the caption “relationship goals.”

Both Drake and Rihanna have had other very public relationships in the past, good and bad, but people like them more to together than they did in any of their past relationships.

“I love the together this is their cutest relationship by far,” said senior Ashtin Parker.

Drake and Rihanna are the cutest couple around and now that the summer is over we are just hoping the relationship stays alive.

“I hope they stay together, forever,” said senior Justin Tall.
