Rihanna will receive the Video Vanguard Award at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards, the show's highest career honor given to artists who have made a great impact on culture. Drake gets that this is a very big deal, so he went ahead and bought an entire billboard to congratulate her. Black-ish star Yara Shahidi shared a glimpse of it on Twitter:
And Rihanna posted it too on her Instagram, with a nice little caption:
Drake and Rihanna—"the most beautiful, talented woman I've ever seen in my life," as he regularly introduces her at all the shows they do together—have never actually confirmed they're dating.
Rihanna is confirmed to be at the VMAs Sunday night; Drake most likely will be too as a contender for Video of the Year. Rihanna will perform a medley of her hits, and VMA executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic has already confirmed to Entertainment Weekly it'll be "one of those holy crap VMA moments." So chances are good, given these two's "Work" duet history, that Drake will be some part of it.
