Think pink. She opened the show with an upbeat number and the outfit to match it. They’ll strut their stuff next to pop sensation Rihanna at the MTV Video Music Awards. Rihanna and Drake will have even more to celebrate, as MTV announced on Friday that the “Sledgehamer” singer will be opening the show.

And because no Internet fail is truly complete until Michael Jordan’s crying face is affixed to someone else’s body.

The Hotline Bling hitmaker’s grand gesture has further fuelled rumours the pair is secretly dating.

Rihanna couldn’t hide her delight when she shared a picture of her billboard on Instagram and captioned it: “When he extra” alongside an emoji of a trophy.

“The first time I met Robyn Fenty was in 2005”, he began, recalling Rih’s very first music video shoot for “Pon de Replay” in his native Toronto.

“What’s most impressive isn’t the endless list of stats, awards, and accomplishments”, he continued. “She succeeds by doing something which no one in this music industry does – and that’s by being herself”.

She also noted that while her success “started as my dream”, now “it is not my own”.

And during one performance in Manchester, he admitted she was breaking his heart. Rihanna only laughed before linking her arm around his. “But most of all, we love the woman who hasn’t changed since day one”. “It’s my family, my fans, my country.it’s women, it’s black women”, she said.

The embarrassed star tries to right himself by leaping over the Rude Boy singer’s skirt, but not before she yelped in shock and was forced to check her step due to the clumsy Canadian’s antics.
