The singer-songwriter took the stage for an epic 15-minute performance at the awards ceremony, during which she played a few of her latest hits. The 28-year-old Barbadian singer was presented with her Moonman trophy by Drake, her long-time collaborator and rumoured love interest. It was impressive to see her nominated in four categories and even more impressive that she won in the first three aforementioned. She kicked off her epic numbers with a ’90s inspired performance with a mash up of some of her biggest hits like “We Found Love”. The song was “Pon de Replay” and the director of that video was Little X. But 11 years later, they still all know Rihanna as the one-and-only, Rihanna. But most of all, we love the woman who hasn’t changed since day one. “They would hug and he would kiss into her neck”. When it comes to music, she relentlessly takes over the charts with every release. The source added, “Many people left at that point in the night, but they seemed like all they cared about was each other anyway”.
Drake and Rihanna leave a Video Music Awards after party at Up & Down. “MTV, this is such an fantastic night”, she told the audience. It’s such an unbelievable moment in my career.
“Now, later tonight “Famous” might lose to Beyonce but I can’t be mad because I’m always wishing for Beyonce to win”, he said referencing his infamous microphone grabbing incident from 2009 that started his feud with Swift.
Instead she mechanically went through the rhythms in a low-key duet with rapper G-Eazy, in which they tried to force some chemistry that just wasn’t there. “This is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country”.

After running through some of Rih’s professional accomplishments and the reasons behind her success, Drake wrapped up with a formal declaration of his love to her – which we now know began all the way back in 2005 at a Toronto restaurant called Avocado.
