Just over a month ago, the fandoms were in a tizzy over the re-kindling of Rihanna and Drake aka #aubrih. He bought her a plush camo shark, she made very public appearances with it stuffed it in her “Real” Gucci bag. Plus, she appeared at and in his concerts and was spotted in clubs standing close to him, seemingly enjoying his presence for more than 15 minutes even.
All that seemed to go south last week during Drake‘s hurt heart ankle phase when he announced plans to cancel a Toronto and Philly concert after going so hard repping for “the six” that he sprained his ankle.
As Drake was soaking full body in a tub of ice doing his best impression of an actual athlete, it appears Rihanna grew bored. After her ANTI tour ended and she headed to Paris for her fashion show, her Canadian bestie was nowhere to be found, nor did they seem to be communicating once she returned to New York. And then out of nowhere, rumors popped up over this past weekend that she had been spotted in the vicinity of occasional place filler, Travis Scott.
Putting aside the Scott rumors (we all know that ain’t real!), far more concrete evidence spelling trouble in #Aubrih paradise was Rihanna’s decision to try out locs with the the hairdo first appearing on her Instagram October 4th. Now everrrybody knows when a woman has really-REALLY moved on, she makes a statement with a hair change that’s startlingly different. Granted Rihanna rotates through hair looks like a perpetually-moving carousel, but adding locs was unprecedented and she said as much, explaining she always wanted them, but her mother wouldn’t allow her to get them.
For one last nail in the coffin, Rihanna posted a not so cryptic message on her Instagram yesterday, reading, “None of my exs are married or in happy relationships so it’s safe to say I wasn’t da problem lol!” (Note to Rih: If that was ever even a question, someone definitely tried it!)
Rihanna then headed to home and family in Bermuda where she celebrated a baby-related event with her beloved niece Majesty. Again, no sign of Drake, last spotted on stage in Toronto, mad at the world and threatening to go places by himself. #awwbrey
