RAPPER Drake was spotted partying with ex Rihanna in New York over the weekend after it emerged she split from Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
The 33-year-old was pictured standing next to the Bajan singer, 31, at A$AP Rocky’s concert at Yams Day, a one-day festival honoring the late A$AP Mob founder A$AP Yams.
In a one-second clip obtained by Popcrave, the two were seen standing near each other while they watched their pal perform to an excited crowd.
The former couple also posed separately with fans at the event, which saw Rihanna clad in a tie-dye turtleneck, black oversized cardigan and shearling-lined aviator jacket.
The fashion and beauty mogul accessorized her look with layers of necklaces, a bold red lip and her hair in a high ponytail while Drake wore a white baseball cap and padded jacket.
It’s not know whether the pair arrived together, or if they even had any interaction during the concert. Despite sparking romance rumors, a source told Page Six that the couple were “not dating”.
Rihanna, who has been romantically linked to A$AP numerous times, was also seen later in the evening with the rapper after his performance wrapped up.
The We Found Love singer and Drake were previously reported to have been dating on and off throughout 2016.
Although their relationship in recent years appeared strained after she reportedly winced when Drake’s name was mentioned in a Vogue interview in 2018.
Last year, The God’s Plan rapper also collaborated with Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown, who was arrested for allegedly beating her in 2009, and later sentenced to probation, community service and domestic violence counseling for his crimes.
The pair’s appearance in NYC comes after it emerged Rihanna had broken up with Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel after three years.
The Grammy winner was notoriously private about their relationship, with the two making very few public appearances together over the course of their romance.
The split may come as a surprise to fans, as just a few months ago, she told Interview magazine she was “of course” in love with Hassan.

However, the Work songstress seemed unsure about marrying her man as she said: “We plan and God laughs, right?”
“Rihanna and Hassan understand each other very well and their personalities mesh well together,” a source told Us Weekly in September. “They’re both so different, but it works for them.”
The star appears to be keeping herself busy through the break-up by promoting her new sexy Savage X Fenty Valentine’s Day lingerie line and running her own make-up brand, Fenty Beauty.
