Drake surprised Rihanna recently with the biggest gift ever — because nothing says “I love you” like putting your name on it — a billboard, that is.


In honor of her big win ahead of Sunday night’s 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, the “Take Care” rapper presented the bad gal with a massive billboard with the words, “Congratulations to Rihanna from Drake and everyone at OVO.”

Naturally, Ri Ri hopped on Instagram where she posted a picture of the gesture from her rumored beau writing, “When he extra” alongside a heart and trophy emoji. In case you’re playing catch up, the “B—h Better Have My Money” recording artist, who is currently trekking across the globe with her seventh concert tour, The Anti World Tour, is slated to perform during the highly anticipated award show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, over the weekend.

Did we mention the 28-year-old pop star is also slated to accept the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award? Past recipients of the annual prestigious award have been Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, The Rolling Stones and Janet Jackson.


Although the pair haven’t made their alleged relationship public, Drizzy’s gift certainly hints that there’s love in the air. In fact, last we heard, Rihanna didn’t want to put a title on it. “Rihanna and Drake are hanging out a bit more lately. Rihanna loves Drake, but is still not ready to put a title on them,” a source recently told E! News.

“Drake would make her his girlfriend in a second if he could. It’s more on Rihanna, though. They both care about each other and are having a good time spending time with each other. Drake has expressed to Rihanna that he only wants to date her and only her, but she wants to take [it] day by day this time around.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Drake and Rihanna have tried to give their love a go. The duo were first linked in 2009. Most recently, he joined her on stage during her Manchester gig where he claimed Rihanna’s been making him work for it. He said, “Shout-out to the most beautiful, talented woman I’ve ever seen. She goes by the name of Rihanna … I’m getting my heart broken.”
