Beyoncé Proves She’s in a Lane of Her Own at MTV VMAs
Before the mother of two presented the moonman for best male video to Calvin Harris, she used her platform to reflect on the 53rd anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech – later sharing a poem inspired by the activist.
He handed her the trophy with a hug and simple kiss on the cheek, before the singer then gave her acceptance speech. “The song was “Pon de Replay” and the director of the video was Little X”. I was introduced to her as the kid who played background music at the restaurant as people ate at their dinner.
“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old”, Drake said as Rihanna blushed and the audience cheered loudly.
In the wee hours of Monday morning, Drake posted a shot of himself and Rihannah engaged in what certainly looks like couple behavior, which his fans quickly surmise came from the couple’s rumored date at Toronto’s aquarium earlier this month.
She had quite possibly the most famous episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen, which let us know that she’s had Pharrell’s co-sign ever since she was a teenager. “Tonight we celebrate you!”
While the two have yet to officially confirm a relationship, their public displays of affection are becoming more and more frequent.
Twitter itself was also involved in the annual awards show, having rolled out a new type of custom event sticker, whose images featured Rihanna, Britney Spears, Nick Jonas, Future, Chance the Rapper, The Chainsmokers, and Viacom’s MTV itself.
Drake and Rihanna fuel dating rumors.
