The 'Hot Bling' hitmaker reportedly has unfollowed the Barbadian singer on social media as a response to her recent statement about their friendship.

AceShowbiz - Drake apparently has no intention to fix his supposed strained relationship with Rihanna. In fact, the Canadian singer has removed his ex-girlfriend from his social media feed by unfollowing the "Umbrella" hitmaker on Instagram.
It's unclear when the "Hot Bling" singer clicked the "unfollow" button, but he was still following the Barbadian beauty last week. Rihanna, meanwhile, has not followed the 31-year-old rapper for several months.
The move comes just a few days after Rihanna said in an interview with U.S. Vogue writer Chioma Nnadi that she and Drake, whom she dated on and off between 2009 and 2016, are no longer friends. "We don't have a friendship now, but we're not enemies either," she said about the current nature of their friendship. "It is what it is."
The Fenty Beauty mogul also admitted she was uncomfortable with Drake's gushing introduction speech at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. "The VMAs is such a fan-focused awards show, so having that energy around me, and knowing the people who had received the award in the past, made it feel like a big deal," said the 30-year-old, who reportedly winced when the rapper's name was brought up. "Waiting through that speech was probably the most uncomfortable part. I don't like too many compliments; I don't like to be put on blast."
Rihanna has been dating Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel since last year. While she didn't mention his name in the interview, she hinted that she had finally found someone special. "I used to feel guilty about taking personal time... but I also think I never met someone who was worth it before," she smiled as she discussed her work/life balance.
"Even mentally, just to be away from my phone, to be in the moment, that has been key for my growth," she added. "Now, when I come to work, I'm all in. Because before you know it, the years will go by. I'm glad I'm taking the time. I'm happy."
