Drake's Dad Shut Down His Relationship With Rihanna?

Of course, leave it to someone’s father to ruin all the fun.

Spoiler alert: Drake’s father, Dennis Graham, recently spilled a little tea to TMZ that as far as he knows, his son is not dating Rihanna. Repeat, Drake. Is. Not. Dating. Rihanna.

Dad knows best, right?

The longtime friends and frequent collaborators have been rumored to be a romantic pairing for basically all of 2016 and then some, with the dating rumors reaching a peak level when Drizzy professed his love for Rihanna at the MTV VMAs. Following that, the two got matching tattoos and fans of both respective parties were simply over the moon, especially when RiRi publicly addressed Drake. Now it appears as though Mr. Graham is ruining all the fun.

“They’re friends,” he tells a cameraman from TMZ. “They’ve been friends for years.”

When pressed further about if they are together in a different capacity or not, Drake’s father replies, “I don’t know about settling down. No, they’re friends.”

Well, that’s that? Or is it?

We may never have a clear answer regarding their relationship, but the odds truly are in their favor.
