Rihanna and Drake had an on-and-off dating history and rumoured romance stretching from the late 2000s through the early 2010s, with Drake later admitting he had deeper feelings for her that he felt weren't fully reciprocated.
He famously declared his love for her at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards while presenting her with the Video Vanguard Award, a moment Rihanna later told Vogue in 2018 felt "uncomfortable," adding that she and Drake no longer had a friendship, though they weren't enemies either.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky went public as a couple in 2020, and the pair now share three children.
A$AP Rocky on stealing Rihanna claims
In an interview for a BET digital series, host Jason Lee asked Rocky directly whether Drake was upset because he "took his girl." Rocky denied it outright, saying:
"I didn't take his girl."
Lee jokingly pushed back, telling him, "You took everybody's girl," a jab Rocky didn't deny before shifting to voice his frustration that people are still fixated on the situation years later, saying:
"It's weird that everybody done moved on with they lives and motherf*ers still strung up on that st. Like, it's just bugged out to me."

A$AP Rocky addresses Drake diss track
Rocky also addressed Drake's recent single "Iceman," in which Drake claimed Rihanna didn't support his album on social media. Rocky dismissed the jab, saying:
"That's stupid. But then you still went to number one. She posted my album."
When pressed on his own track "Stole Ya Flow," widely interpreted as a diss aimed at Drake, Rocky reacted with amusement rather than denying the connection, effectively owning the line rather than distancing himself from it.
The broader feud stretches back to 2023 and 2024, when Drake took subliminal shots at both Rihanna and Rocky on "Fear of Heights." Rocky later responded on Metro Boomin and Future's "Show of Hands" with the line "Flacko hit it first, son."
Speaking separately to Apple Music's Ebro Darden, Rocky described Drake's continued references to Rihanna as soft behaviour, saying, "For you to be picking at a female, that's soft to me."
Rihanna shows daughter Rocki's face for first time

The couple welcomed Rocki, their third child, on September 13, 2025, completing their family of five. In the accompanying magazine interview, A$AP Rocky praised Rihanna, describing her as the most charming and genuine person on earth.
