Does Drake want that old thing back?


Rumor has it the ladies man has rekindled an old flame with pop star Rihanna. The former lovers and long time collaborators have been “secretly dating for months,” a source tells People.


Meanwhile, the duo’s chemistry was undeniable as they hit the stage at the Forum during the second night of Rih’s Anti World Tour in Los Angeles, on Wednesday, May 4. In the middle of performing their three-time multi-platinum song “Work,” the bad gal invited the Champagne Papi on stage, where they danced closely. After the concert, Drake, 29, and Rihanna, 28, headed to The Nice Guy to celebrate. The pair were seen “dancing all night together,” an onlooker told People. “They were being very affectionate.”

“They have been keeping it a secret because this time around, they want to do it right and keep their relationship private,” the source continued of the couple. Of course, this isn’t the first time things have gotten hot and heavy between the superstars. In fact, their relationship dates back to 2009, when a then unknown Drake was spotted out with RiRi at Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge in New York. “She was drinking whiskey and apple juice and making out with him all night… They were really cute together,” a source told Page Six at the time.


In 2010, the alleged couple cuddled up in the sexy video for Rihanna’s “What’s My Name.” Then, there was that time in 2011 when Drizzy dropped a bomb during his appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” When asked if RiRi hurt him, he responded, “At the time it hurt, but she didn’t mean to. I’ll never put that on her. I was hurt because I started to slowly realize what it was. I guess I thought it was more.”

He continued, “That was the first girl with any fame that paid me any mind. You spend days reading about this person in the magazines. All of a sudden you have this number-one song and you’re at some birthday party and there she is. And you’re just some naive kid from Toronto staying in some s—y-ass hotel who got invited to this party on a whim. That’s just how it happened.”

While Rih recently demanded she is “single right now,” we’d have to admit we’d love to see this pair reunite. If you ask us, they have what it takes – only the timing was always off. “We’re not just forcing the story. We have genuine energy between us,” Drake told Zane Lowe earlier this week on Apple Music’s OVO Sound Radio of his relationship with Rihanna. “We do great music together . . . I think [our chemistry is] what makes the records better.” In other words, the feelings are still there.
