The recent chapter in Rihanna and Drake‘s connection isn’t a good one for fans hoping to see the two music stars together someday.
In an interview for Vogue‘s June issue came out online Thursday, Rihanna mentioned that she and the Canadian rapper are no longer close.
“We don’t have a friendship now, however we’re not enemies either,” Rihanna (née Robyn Fenty) said. “It is what it is.”
That’s a stark contrast from Drake’s swoon-worthy profession of love for his on-again, off-again leading lady at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old,” he told on the broadcast while presenting Rihanna with the network’s coveted Video Vanguard Award, after embracing her and going in for a kiss. “She’s one of my best friends in the world. She’s a living breathing legend in our industry.”

Though Rihanna would make a surprise appearance at Drake’s sold-out concert in Miami days later — and thank Drake on Instagram for his “touching” speech, writing “I love you for that!” — she told Vogue that the moment at the VMAs left her feeling twitchy. “Waiting via that speech was probably the most uncomfortable part,” she said. “I don’t like too many compliments; I don’t like to be put on blast.”
