It was in a 2010 interview with вЂњ The New York TimesвЂќ when Drake made some shocking revelation about Rihanna. Well, it is also believed that Rihanna and Drake were never an official couple and just had a few flings here and there. Where we all thought that they are a power couple of the industry, the reality, was altogether different. Watch here.We all know that Rihanna and DrakeвЂ™s relationship has been no less than a roller coaster journey. Rihanna, the recipient of the Video Vanguard award, performed a dance medley to open the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. Thank you MTV, I had so much fun! Good night. They actually followed my ass all the way to America, getting on my damn nerves, and they here right now just witnessing this. I mean, from the very beginning, Evan and Carl from SRP, you guys believed in me, you brought me straight to Jay ZвЂ™s office, where I met Jay, Tata, LA Reid, Jay Brown, my whole publicity team, my glam team, so many people, man, they right with me from day to day. ItвЂ™s crazy, and I have so many people to thank. ThereвЂ™s just so much growth that has happened over the last 11 years, and I canвЂ™t believe I am receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at 28 years old. Thank you to every director who has taken a chance on me and a chance with my crazy ideas.

And I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over. So many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle. But now my success is not my own, you know? ItвЂ™s my familyвЂ™s. This is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country.ДЄnd so, you know my success, it started as my dream. When I think about the Vanguard Award and receiving this tonight, all I could think of was my country. ItвЂ™s such an amazing moment in my career. Ladies and gentleman, the recipient of the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award for 2016, Rihanna. SheвЂ™s a living, breathing legend in our industry. All my adult life IвЂ™ve looked up to her even though sheвЂ™s younger than me. SheвЂ™s one of my best friends in the world. SheвЂ™s someone IвЂ™ve been in love with since I was 22 years old. We love the videos, which change their artistic vision from year to year, but most of all, we love the woman who hasnвЂ™t changed since day one. We love the music, which can change styles from out in the album. This woman has surpassed all competition while still being the same girl from Barbados, surrounded by the same friends, speaking with the same accent, and never missing a Crop Over unless itвЂ™s to come perform at the OVO fest. She succeeds by doing something that no one in this music industry does, which is being herself. Some need to downplay their own natural instincts to blend in. Some artists need to play a character to achieve success. WhatвЂ™s most impressive isnвЂ™t the endless list of stats, awards and accomplishments. And, when it comes to fashion and style, she makes it seem so effortless until you try and do it yourself, which is when it gets a little awkward.

When it comes to performance, they swarm in masses just to be in her presence вЂ¦ obviously. When it comes to music, she relentlessly takes over the charts with every release. For them, thatвЂ™s often the peak, but for her, that was the starting point, and she has kept ascending to an untouchable level ever since. But 11 years later, they still all know Rihanna as the one-and-only, Rihanna.Д¬aptivating from day one, the iconic being that is Rihanna was already at a place where most artists only dream of going. Today, the world knows Little X as Director X, they know me as Drake and not the kid singing while you order pasta. ItвЂ™s hard to believe that 11 years later all three of us would come together to create the visual for a song called вЂњWork.вЂќ I was introduced to her as a kid who played background music at the restaurant as people ate their dinner. The song was вЂњPon de ReplayвЂќ and the director of that video was Little X. She was shooting a music video at a Restaurant called Avocado in Toronto. The first time I met Robyn Fenty was 2005.
