For the first time people started talking about their romance in 2013, but by coincidence, in 2014 it became known that they broke up. Beyoncé rocked the red carpet (with daughter Blue Ivy!) at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards over the weekend – and she basically looked exactly the same as she did at the ceremony 13 years prior.

Drake and Rihanna dating rumors have been going on for a while. She’s a living breathing legend in our industry.
Her second performance featured a medley of her hits “Work”, “Rude Boy” and “Pon De Replay”, and continued bringing the island vibes to Manhattan with interpolations of Chaka Demus’ “Murder She Wrote”. Later in the evening, she rocked a gold sequin ensemble as she accepted three awards, including Best Female Video and Best R&B Video for “Crazy in Love”.
It was during this awarding presentation when Drake said, “The first time I met Robyn Fenty [Rihanna’s real name] was in 2005”, Drake said.
Rihanna then left the stage hand-in-hand with Drake, but not before sharing another kiss with him. According to the musician, Rihanna has not changed over the years. This woman has surpassed all competition while still being the same girl from Barbados surrounded by the same friends, speaking with the same accent and never missing a Crop Over unless it’s to come perform at OVO Fest.
Beyonce’s performance was the longest of the night, rivaling only Rihanna.
West could have another memorable moment Sunday if he wins video of the year later in the show.
