— Rihanna (@rihanna) February 21, 2015In other news, RiRi, who has been rumored dating Leonardo DiCaprio in the past few months, is allegedly not getting close with Leonardo but with his best friend, club owner Richie Akiva. A source told New York Daily News, "If they're not dating, they're hanging out, you know?"
According to the site, RiRi and Richie have been hanging out since New Year's Eve. Leonardo allegedly played the part of a "wingman for a change." The trio have been spotted at Richie's club Up & Down and 1Oak during the Fashion Week. They also spent the new year's holiday together at St. Barth. "Richie was with Rihanna in St. Barth's - that's where it started. They've been hanging out together a lot," said an insider close to the pair.
Recently, the trio hit the club together for a party hosted by Drake. "She's not showing up with Leo, she's showing up with Richie," the insider claimed. "Leo was seated at the same table, but he was hitting on different girls. Richie was bouncing between the two of them."
While RiRi and Leonardo were spotted leaving the same club on Valentine's Day, the insider claimed the "Take a Bow" singer was with Richie at that time. The insider said there was a "secret hallway" which let Richie in and out the club without being known. "There's a secret hallway, I think, behind a bookshelf or something," the insider shared, "It lets people come in and out of the club without attracting attention."
