This is not a drill: Drake and Rihanna have turned on their virtual flirt game for the
whole world to see, and this is 100% the type of quarantine content we never knew we needed.
What’s up y’all, it’s Sussan Mourad bringing you all the breaking news updates
here from my in-home Clevver studio as we continue to practice safe measures, but you
know what they say: quarantine makes people do crazy things.
Ok, so they don’t say that, but they definitely should, because as we’ve come to find out,
celebrities are doing what they can to stay busy and contain their sanity while helping
stop the spread of the virus, even if that means reigniting an old flame, you know, just
to keep the rest of us on our toes.
Thankfully we’ve been blessed with plenty of entertainment to get us through these trying
times, whether that be celebs singing who probably shouldn’t sing, or celebs sparking
up old feuds we thought were over.
But Drake and Rihanna just pretty much gifted us with a new form of entertainment, and are
putting the ‘social’ in social distancing by partaking in a subtle flirting affair via
Instagram Live.
It all started when the two both joined in on DJ Spade’s Instagram Live at 3 a.m. earlier
this week as thousands of fans noticed they were going back and forth while taking turns
sassing each other.
Drake asked Rihanna if she could help Spade with his internet connection, to which she
responded with, “Champs we waiting for your boys.”
At one point, Drake clearly attempted to get Rihanna’s attention when he wrote, “DUB
PLATE COME PRETTY LIKE A FENTY FOUNDATION.”
Rihanna then responded with this gem, which basically just called Drake out for being
thirsty, saying, “Give Drake some water.”
He then sassed back, telling Rihanna she has a bad attitude, and I don’t know about you
guys, but if I had a pair of scissors, I’d be able to cut right through this lusty tension.
The two went back and forth like this for a while, but it was Drake’s comment that
sent fans into a spiral of hope that Rihanna could possibly save us from the sadness of
what’s going on in the world.
He said QUOTE, “Rihanna drop R12 right now.”
Ok, so technically we’re all just waiting on R9, but at this point, we’ll take what
we can get…
So apparently it’s a universal thing that when a dude is bored, he’ll put forth his
best efforts in reigniting an old flame, but this time around, I’m kinda here for it…
Fans, on the other hand, seem to be sending mixed reviews about the interaction between
the two, as some have taken to social media to assure fans that there is nothing to get
all up in arms over.
One user wrote, “Am I the only navy that doesn’t have a problem with Drake and Rihanna’s
relationship/friendship ? Aubrey is harmless like...
Rihanna got that boy under control so idk.”
Another user tweeted, “drake and rihanna were interacting on ig live last night???
damn quarantine got everybody bored for real”
Both Drake and Rihanna are in separate self-quarantine mode, as Drake is currently staying in Toronto,
and Rihanna recently announced she’ll be giving a $5 million dollar donation to help
the U.S. and other countries through her Clara Lionel Foundation.
The money will go towards supporting local food banks, purchasing medical equipment,
and providing testing supplies to poverty-stricken countries.
RiRi has also pledged to donate $700,000 to buy more ventilators for her home country
Barbados.
I stand firm with what I’ve always believed, Rihanna truly is the gift that keeps on giving…
especially as soon as R9…
I mean, R12 drops.
But until then we’ll just be sitting here in quarantine with nothing to listen to hoping
that Rihanna drops a surprise new album.
In all seriousness, I wanna know what you guys thought about Drake and Rihanna’s interaction…
were you totally here for the flirting, or are you hoping they don’t go down this road
again?
