Drake, Rihanna kiss on stage following VMAs smooch

Are they to be believed? A shark. In fact, it’s pretty close to the stuffed animal Drake is holding in the picture.

Granted, Drake was laying it on a bit thick for the VMAs.

She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry, ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna‘.

“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old”, he gushed. “Drake knelt in front of her while she danced, and then Rihanna twerked on him”. Drake went on to admit he has looked up to the singer for his whole life, despite being older than her by one year. His eyes were never off her.

Anyway, all appears to be right in the world now. The Barbados native collaborated with Drake on the hit song Work, the steamy video for which she garnered worldwide attention and furthered the rumors that there was something going on between the two of them.

Since Sunday, we’ve watched them make out and get flirty in the club, but Rihanna just took things to the next level to make their love permanent. It wasn’t until this year that the two have escalated their romance to hot and heavy, making surprise appearances at one another’s shows and flying all over the globe to be with one another. Well, Rih just returned the favor with a silent act of affection: She got a tattoo of a camo-print shark on her ankle. Drake’s been in Miami for the past couple of days since he had a two-night stint in the city for his tour. If you’re takin’ the girlfriend to meet the parents.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the insider said Drake and Rihanna were “definitely a couple”, explaining: “They are fully dating”.

What a odd world we live in.
