Rihanna's Vogue Cover June 2018

Rihanna Reflects on Drake's "Uncomfortable" VMAs Speech, Says They're No Longer Friends

May 7 2018 by Terry Carter

Rihanna is American Vogue's June cover star, and as usual, she's stunning. Inside the magazine, the singer and costar of the upcoming heist film Ocean's 8 opened up about turning 30 earlier this year ("Should I be worried? Should I be freezing my eggs?") and launching her wildly successful makeup line, Fenty Beauty. The self-proclaimed "bad gal" also dished about her personal life, confirming that she has found time for love, and even addressed that awkward 2016 VMAs moment when Drake professed his love for her to the world. Read on to see what Rihanna had to say about the latter, then check out her full interview with the publication.

On what she thought of Drake professing his "undying love for her" at the 2016 VMAs: "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."
On her relationship with the rapper today: "We don't have a friendship now, but we're not enemies either. It is what it is."

On finding time for her love life with her billionaire boyfriend, Hassan Jameel: "I used to feel guilty about taking personal time, but I also think I never met someone who was worth it before."
On committing to a healthy work-life balance in her 30s: "Even mentally, just to be away from my phone, to be in the moment, that has been key for my growth. 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."
