After their OVO performance, rumour has it Drake took Rihanna on a midnight date to the aquarium (!) where they had a fancy midnight dinner in front of one of the tanks (!). He admitted he’s in love with her!

Martin, 17, was killed in 2012 by a white neighbourhood guard, a catalyst moment for Black Lives Matter. His love for her was literally palpable in that room. “I made that bitch famous”. And I just hope you all have a good time. Make sure to watch Beyoncé’s full performance below.
Oh, and then there were all of the strangers watching at home on their TVs. I feel like it’s up for the people to figure it out.
I’m not friends with Rihanna.
Once the set had finished, Britney threw her arms around her 27-year-old rapper before planting a kiss on his cheek. “She’s one of my best friends in the world”. Tonight we celebrate you! In case you weren’t counting, Drake is 29, so that’s seven years of public pining, sexy duets, oblique lyrical references and general will-they-or-won’t-they vibes. And that was just the appetizer for 2015’s “Bitch Better Have My Money”, the gory but glossy mini-movie that epitomized the intimidatingly cool pop queen that Rihanna has become.
“We wanted to do something different, something I’ve never done before”.
And that’s my problem with these public declarations of love. “You know, the lioness always protects her baby”.
Gotta hand it to Rihanna for keeping it real.
He said as he looked at her in the audience: “My wife is a G!” Check out all the memes from last night’s show in the gallery above. He totally stole that spotlight from her. And in 2008, she debuted her first single, which was appropriately titled: “Google Me”. In fact, that was the large majority of his speech. I get it, but I want them to really figure it out and really understand what’s going on. “She has worked her way into that, and she’s in a great position right now in her life”.
We’re so devastated to hear this because we literally thought Drake was going to get down on bended knee and propose to Rihanna at the VMAs!

But the damage is done. “She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna”. We love the music, which can change styles from album to album.
