Rihanna says her brief romance with rapper Drake didn’t work out because she was still getting over her split from Chris Brown.
The ‘Only Girl (In the World)’ singer dated the Canadian
hip-hop star for a short time in 2009 after meeting him in May of that
year, but she admits she was too fragile emotionally after being
assaulted by her ex-lover Chris just a few months earlier to get
involved in a serious relationship.
She told MTV News: “I definitely was attracted to Drake, but I think it
is what it is – it was what it was … We didn't want to take it any
further.
“It was at a really fragile time in my life, so I just didn't want to get too serious with anything or anyone at that time.”
Although the romance didn’t go anywhere, the pair have teamed up for
new single 'What's My Name?', which sees them both appear in the song’s
racy video together.
Rihanna – who is now dating baseball player Matt Kemp - was left
battered and bruised by Chris after he attacked her in his car
repeatedly punching her as the pair were travelling to a pre-Grammys
party.
The ‘Run It!’ singer agreed a plea bargain after being charged with
felony assault in relation to the incident and was sentenced to 80
hours of community labour, five years probation and was told he would
have to attend a 12-month domestic violence counselling programme.
