1:31

twenty fourteen when things kind

1:33

of not said quietly heated up between

1:36

at drake and rian it again let's

1:38

rewind old way that

1:44

right lara it's february

1:47

two thousand and fourteen and drake

1:49

was doing interview with rolling story

1:52

when he called for yeah no his dream girl

1:54

the quite was see the ultimate

1:56

fantasy i mean i think about

1:58

it like then that would be good we

2:00

have fun together she's cool and shit but

2:02

we're just friends

2:03

that's my dog for life i'm

2:05

i'm idiot for not realizing that reactor

2:08

and dragged on and off since this long

2:10

oh no i

2:12

see we researched this researched this

2:14

thought this was case of break

2:16

having a crush we leave for

2:18

like long amount time and it never

2:20

being reciprocated but doing the research

2:23

they were absolutely on again off again

2:25

for years now

2:27

just the next month after that into the died

2:29

pepper at sea salts celery anna

2:31

and drag out in london holding hands

2:34

and getting into a car together so that

2:36

dragline of were just friends didn't

2:38

clot hold up by

2:40

may room is thought to slow that that split

2:42

again before they seen

2:45

over the course is that yeah at

2:47

the same parties basketball games and

2:49

restaurant so is incredibly confusing

2:51

stories of the tablets to try make sense of get

2:53

out continually the same room we continually

2:56

had sources say that they would getting cozy

2:58

but then

2:59

soon we had those report came out almost

3:01

as soon as we had those report came out

3:03

they were off again apparently

3:05

rihanna brought in the new year with

3:08

someone other than drake bar

3:10

none other than leonardo dicaprio yeah

3:12

say in january twenty fifteen leonardo

3:15

dicaprio and rihanna went to a playboy

3:17

a party where one onlooker

3:19

tweeted about watching the make out with each

3:21

other by april they were being put

3:23

together added coach hell up party but

3:25

things never seem to serious between

3:28

leo and rihanna because both three hundred and

3:30

later a kind of dating other people around this time

3:32

or was certainly perhaps with other people as wow it was

3:34

casual for sure in fact it was only few

3:36

months after those coachella potty photos will

3:38

publish the rihanna was linked to

3:40

another stall my favorite saw

3:42

it there i say if ,

3:44

drive all lewis hamilton of unlike

3:46

louis that much what you'd love the thought the strike

3:48

i love louis just compared to other drivers

3:50

he's not my fav drive it but if one stars definitely

3:53

talk to your of celebrity for may have my favorite

3:56

on the lewis stuff though we can't really get too excited

3:58

this mostly dates back to august

4:00

twenty fifteen when photo to

4:02

come out ran out on holiday in barbados

4:04

with lewis hamilton said i was seen partying

4:07

during country's annual carnival festival

4:09

there will also spotted aboard the same yacht

4:11

with a group of friends and their thing hanging

4:14

out at nightclub in new york

4:16

but you could just as a cliche perhaps bilic like

4:18

night in fact think you'd be smart yeah i

4:20

don't think we had anything to really link them romantically

4:22

the tabloids we're just excited by

4:24

december twenty fifth day to reanimate

4:27

sexually conducted to travis

4:29

scott of course everyone knows that

4:31

travis scott through his music through

4:33

astro world through him being the

4:35

father of college and his two children

4:38

and of gotta be honest with these are all i had

4:40

no bloody idea that

4:42

brianna and travis wherever linked

4:45

yeah one thousand percent and i think that would be easy

4:47

to be dismisses about these kinds things and say

4:49

oh was it just

4:50

tabloids doing nothing but with

4:52

these travis scott story this is travis

4:55

scott talking the rack let's let's give a bit of

4:57

context we mostly new

4:59

or know that rihanna and travis scott

5:01

were thing because when they were together

5:03

travis actually did a story with

5:05

complex magazine now in

5:07

that story he discussed this puma

5:09

collab that he'd done with rihanna now he

5:12

is a passage from the pace written

5:14

by journalist lawrence schwartzman the

5:16

to appear beside each other in a black and

5:18

white photos for rihanna's upcoming puma

5:20

collection the campaign drops right

5:22

in middle of our talk and is travis peruses

5:25

the travis scott hashtag on instagram on

5:27

a macbook he comes across a version

5:29

of the ad with him corrupt out and then

5:31

in on brianna he is not pull that

5:33

that is and in fact he finds funny it's

5:36

then that has arguably he's most unguarded

5:38

moment during the time we spend

5:40

together kissing he's right index

5:43

and middle finger and then touching

5:45

the low res image of rihanna's face

5:47

caressing the screen and glowing

5:50

with pride

5:51

it's honest and such thing and fucking

5:53

adorable we did sailor

5:56

whatever was going on between travis scott

5:58

and riyadh and riyadh not

6:00

last very long because

6:02

by fab twenty sixteen drake

6:04

and riyadh are working together

6:07

again right actually appeared in the

6:09

music video for her hit song work

6:11

6:13

hot one hundred for nine

6:15

weeks breaking riyadh on

6:17

dance while performing at the two thousand

6:20

and six a brit awards and

6:22

their moves all day

6:24

rhythm together convinced onlookers

6:27

that they must be dating strike

6:29

also made appearances during appearances as

6:31

anti to are but are source

6:33

was talking to the tabloids the tabloids paid

6:35

six that they were not together

6:37

that real was single yeah her

6:39

tamer at pains to tell the

6:42

tabloids at this point that see the still single

6:44

in april drake went on ellen

6:46

who asked him of course about

6:48

the raymond relationship now allen

6:50

said you in riyadh our friends and i know

6:52

that just friends family francis drake

6:55

replied yes but then allen put up

6:57

photo of rian a grinding on him at one

6:59

of their performances and drank replied

7:01

friendship at it's finest i sat which is a pretty

7:04

funny for dry as can appear like we're not

7:06

that much of a sudden they have lots more

7:08

it still august twenty sixteen and

7:10

got our strongest evidence yet that

7:12

riyadh not and right would dating riyadh

7:14

dating one the video then god award

7:17

that year that the v amaze and drake

7:19

was chosen to be the one to present it

7:21

to her it earn his dad

7:24

was more this so this was was

7:26

ahead of the awards show drake

7:28

literally bought a billboard

7:30

to congratulate or yeah no on the

7:32

award it was a plane navy billboard

7:34

with cursive text on it and read congratulations

7:37

to riyadh off from drake and everyone

7:40

at over over his drakes

7:42

record labels are are not quite

7:44

sure why he snuck that in there but reanimate

7:47

took a photo of the billboard posted

7:49

it on instagram with caption when

7:51

he extra no one

7:53

guy

7:54

right cops if he jokes about or yeah now

7:56

you know yeah this is pretty

7:59

public he's three t

8:02

v and it wasn't like he made

8:04

a few quotes alien in there

8:06

are on day do whatever we want collect

8:08

an issue that makes any sense and

8:11

, decided or perhaps i'm going

8:13

to kick is quite some allen like consistently

8:16

over the years he gets in and out of

8:18

the media to try and be

8:20

public about the thought the was still connected

8:22

to the yeah know it seems like he really

8:24

did get off in that connection like he as

8:26

so in love with her that her loves being

8:28

associated with her and loves everyone knowing

8:30

that he was associated with her yeah her

8:32

was stop be with stop be is that way

8:34

favorite word that the hut the early word to

8:36

describe trying to

8:38

yeah no yeah and speaking of self a full

8:41

minute space at

8:43

survey amaze yeah to

8:45

had the whole world

8:48

talking beef was when he said before this

8:50

is really my and it was the speech

8:52

as break with speaking for four minutes

8:54

with were yeah not right behind him having

8:57

to listen to every word that

8:59

was a little a lot to handle

9:01

my hip replacement

9:03

the somewhat i've been in love with since i was twenty

9:05

two years old she's one of my

9:08

he's one of my best friends in world all

9:10

my adult life i've looked up to her even though

9:12

she's younger than me the the living

9:14

breathing legend in our industry ladies and gentlemen

9:16

the recipient the michael jackson vanguard

9:18

award for two thousand and sixteen right

9:24

god a lovely don't get me wrong

9:26

it's so lovely that he clearly

9:28

loves her so much any so forth rights

9:30

with that admiration the difficulty

9:33

with it eases that you can clearly see on ran

9:35

his face she would prefer that to be private

9:37

like her love is not public

9:40

displays of affection her love languages

9:42

something very something very yeah and at the end

9:44

of that states to make matters worse strike kind

9:46

of very awkwardly when into to says see

9:48

intercepted and kind of diverted

9:51

his head into her neck

9:54

and vogue rights that suddenly what should

9:56

have been have big moment became all

9:58

about him now one pack

10:00

couple of things yeah yeah certainly what

10:02

you might use again or that non key as soon

10:04

as it is incredibly creative so okay

10:07

hard about i will put it on instagram

10:09

are we normally do this dougie galleries

10:11

i think will put up this clip on

10:13

instagram this late one thousand percent the

10:15

second thing is that

10:17

idea that people went on about that

10:19

he was making her name and about him

10:22

how do you feel about

10:22

that combination brooks me

10:25

tonight i get food

10:27

was saying however

10:29

when i watch the i really did think like

10:31

he's saying so dashing

10:33

and so lovely with his compliments towards

10:35

her like it's not as if he is

10:38

the

10:39

beach and had himself really

10:41

adult he didn't mention that they collapse he mentioned

10:43

the journey along the way but he's going full

10:45

minutes waxing lyrical

10:48

about everything riyadh are achieved do

10:50

i think he made it about him perhaps

10:52

to i think that this is intention truly

10:54

i do not think he meant to do that i think he's not

10:56

the more self aware when comes to

10:58

how people interpret

11:01

his affection i totally agree with

11:03

you i think he accidently did

11:05

make some of the headlines about him but really don't

11:07

think the meant to it like he's a guy

11:09

who

11:10

mean the break to he would have been quite simple wax

11:12

lyrical about rana for four minutes

11:14

and he's like absolutely i can do that

11:16

i can get more corrupt not realizing

11:18

perhaps that he's also been the butt of a lot of jokes

11:21

around his relationship with free anna and that little

11:23

hit phase pitch around this time

11:26

to the not his fault that he went for

11:28

a case and she didn't like as you know

11:30

to combo you're having beforehand we

11:33

would be wealth

11:37

read that could sit here in come up with our

11:39

theories private it's the need

11:41

see that brianna she wants the world to know that

11:43

some relationship she's very public would some

11:46

romantic partners then there are others

11:48

travis scott was one of them drake is

11:50

another way she feels inclined to

11:53

conceal that for the public she doesn't want is out there

11:55

maybe she was embarrassed by your all maybe

11:57

there was so on and off the so long

11:59

that

12:00

there's gotta get awkward any couldn't possibly

12:02

keep telling people that you're back together you went

12:04

also fact that perhaps she got

12:06

together became so soon after chris brown i'm sure

12:08

there was something going on the air as well that would

12:10

have made a bit difficult even years later it's

12:13

complicated for sure what we do

12:15

know is that at the after

12:17

party the two of them with seen holding

12:19

hands looking very affectionate

12:21

and very much together yes who invited

12:24

us about the my name a few years light

12:26

out rian i apparently in this is according

12:28

to the jana

12:29

at the mention of drags name he

12:31

called drake states touching but also

12:34

explained and i quote how whiting

12:36

through that states was probably the most uncomfortable

12:38

pot i don't like too many compliments

12:41

now the unfortunate thing about this page

12:43

is media outlets to get and ran they basically

12:45

said she hated this page she was

12:47

so uncomfortable about it she didn't like what he did

12:49

when in reality you could also interpret that as just

12:52

like it's awkward hearing any one talk

12:54

publicly about if we're minutes when they're hyping

12:56

you up and you have to sit through yeah like i

12:58

always felt shine said holders pete it's

13:00

like a legal thing you happy that day yeah for sure

13:02

it did seem likely anna and drake

13:04

probably had this study is t as

13:06

a couple in twenty sixteen in september

13:09

they were still together reanimate actually

13:11

kissed straight up on stage

13:13

however as we know with this couple

13:16

things must come to an end because by

13:18

october a news reporter that they

13:20

had abruptly called it quits due

13:22

to their conflicting work schedules according

13:24

to a source and i quite reentering drake

13:26

is seeing other people at the moment they are not

13:29

exclusive anymore they still love

13:31

each other but this schedules have gotten

13:33

in the long

13:34

yeah an interesting statement yeah

13:36

when he is that they they endorse exclusive

13:39

anymore

13:41

makes me think that maybe they

13:43

had a casual range me i thought they were

13:45

also seeing other people which perhaps i might

13:47

have had a lot the way through like an open

13:49

relationship the entire time year old i would just

13:51

constantly traveling so whenever together they together

13:53

when they were

13:55

where can i clever his arm or leg in

13:57

a they didn't use labels confusingly

13:59

though in said

14:00

twenty seventeen strike for everyone

14:02

to give a happy birthday sat out to read

14:04

and everything is concept which isn't a strike thing

14:06

ever he said it's somebody's birthday

14:08

today somebody i have lot of love for

14:10

and lot respect for so instead

14:13

of see happy birthday we're just going set

14:15

it off like this and then he went on to

14:17

the form they hit work yeah

14:19

we don't know exactly what went down

14:21

all that between riyadh or and jake what we do

14:23

know for sure is that when rian a sat down

14:25

with vog for that june twenty

14:27

eight eight interview things what absolutely

14:30

done for good in that term reality

14:32

whole journalists to your money audi that

14:34

we don't have friendship now but when dot

14:36

enemies either it is what it is

14:38

we not enemies that

14:40

pretty bold if we can't

14:42

is yeah we don't have friendship now and our

14:44

enemies either mean

14:46

what most people would say when i

14:48

have a pretty bad break up because

14:50

what i do think is when celebrities have

14:52

bad guy's head

14:55

it's not like the end of the world

14:57

fell say we're really close friends yet they

14:59

want to sell off on how much news who

15:01

respects there is whereas if you're not even telling

15:03

us that as friendship it must be pretty fact

15:05

that

15:06

so that looking for return right well

15:08

olivia there

15:09

are none of background i reanimate still

15:11

making music as we know so let's recap

15:13

what was happening in riyadh his career

15:16

while all the drive drama with going on shore

15:18

thirteen twenty fourteen ran actually

15:20

left her record label def jam

15:22

where j they had been president and

15:25

actually the one to sign her own as teenager

15:27

j they had left the company by that

15:29

point though he had left five years prior so

15:31

it wasn't like some slot towards her longtime

15:33

friend after leaving def jam

15:36

she actually so i don't with jay z's new

15:38

maybe roc nation she joined

15:40

people like calvin harris and renal

15:42

he had a twenty fifth a really thick little

15:44

a single that for five seconds and

15:46

beach but have my money with having writing recently

15:49

might have been bought former accountant

15:51

yeah got the lyrics

15:53

are lyrics are are allegedly cover

15:56

story that allegedly to

15:58

her for the accountants was

16:00

there was some kind find it dispute between

16:02

we're not in her accountant yeah which is kind

16:04

of funny way of doing leaks is this that have a

16:06

fluffy wasn't until two thousand and sixteen

16:08

i that she put out her eight studio album

16:10

called anti now it was released

16:12

16:24

apps in the world of putting it lightly album

16:28

yeah after dot riyadh collaborated

16:35

which was calvin harris is song that

16:37

taylor swift quietly worked on the background

16:46

doubt he completely hangs the beauty

20:20

20:22

until two thousand and seventeen for the makeup industry

20:24

was but the her it just

20:28

needed very defined set of shades

21:36

to satisfy market not only

21:38

did fenty beauty achieve meaningful sales

21:40

but it potentially change the industry

21:43

permanently

21:44

i found it quite from that the magazine

21:46

and twenty seventeen really interesting

21:48

because they really

21:50

did could you job

21:53

they write sentry beauty seems to

21:55

be a tipping point pop star didn't

21:57

to slap her name on product to make a c

21:59

million but what

22:00

the track an industry problem that affected

22:02

many women like yourself more celebrities

22:04

of her magnitude could follow and this sales

22:06

could finally laid to a seismic wake

22:08

up call just all

22:10

that true it was a tipping point a to

22:12

change the industry hugely and a lot

22:15

of celebrities have tried do what rana some

22:17

authentic beauty yeah it's all about makeup

22:19

friends now not perfume line that

22:21

mean you think about we've got ray beauty by slated

22:23

garden is ariana grande day has her

22:25

own makeup brand highly they've

22:27

22:29

of course the kylie jenner gabrielle union

22:31

whole the like so many

22:33

celebrities now release makeup

22:35

lines and you've gotta say that riyadh

22:37

i if she wasn't the first one in that space she

22:39

was right there in the front of the que one of assessments

22:42

to do it i would either twenty thirteen tried

22:44

mocking sente bt was pretty early

22:46

on it by i know it didn't come out for four years

22:48

after that as that we're trying to desperately get their formulas

22:50

and packaging and branding right but that's

22:53

a pretty ahead the cap she'll say pulled it off

22:55

the best i would say that while they raise

22:57

collie beauty and while they read

22:59

k k w which doesn't really exist anymore

23:01

but while they were those bread

23:04

tbt had more respect and i

23:06

think people sort as a brand

23:08

that could stand to learn even if you to korean

23:10

his name away from it like it's just genuinely

23:12

good brand that people really adore worth

23:14

some of the other brands around that time it was like

23:16

i buy this because it's kim kardashian so i

23:18

buy this because it's kylie jenner it's worth the products

23:21

would actually that gray wolf oh i

24:43

under a brand called savage x finity

24:45

24:47

the goal of inclusivity that with size ranges

where the covered pandemic the sahara right

26:08

26:10

then she succeeded way that savage

26:12

accent he was exactly how she failed

26:21

up for hands awesome houses that survived

26:28

this in two thousand and nineteen and enough time says

26:30

she wasn't putting pressure on herself to get

27:21

records out as quickly any more given

27:23

how much other words she had on her plate she

27:25

said it's the reason why an album isn't being

27:27

spat out like used to i

27:30

used to be in studio only in the studio

27:32

for three months straight and an album would

27:34

in return the u s yeah exactly

30:50

the following the average decided that i

30:52

30:54

now the timeline of reactor in a

30:56

that's relationship is a little unclear

30:59

and sort of high tech confirmed that will

31:01

do we can rise they

31:03

initially didn't get off to a great start

31:05

when they first met nice their first

31:07

encounter with when with sat rocky

31:09

join for yeah not for yeah performance of has

31:11

single cockiness at the they amazing two

31:13

thousand and twelve those ten years ago and now

31:15

reportedly rookie grabbed rian

31:17

as off on stage something that she

31:19

said was not at all part of their part

31:21

hassle looking back on the moment

31:23

rana said i was like what are you doing

31:26

he did say that he let go she

31:28

also said my manager was like oh god

31:31

she must like this guy a little bit seen nevertheless

31:33

this shit slide soon after

31:35

riyadh are and his sons' relationship

31:38

ended rumors started emerging that she

31:40

was actually linked to a set

31:42

in august twenty twenty reactor actually recruited

31:45

acep rocky to promote the lords

31:47

of have finity skyn line they appeared

31:49

in a number of videos that shot for vogue

31:51

and for gq yeah then by december

31:53

twenty twenty they were spotted in new york

31:55

to get on out paid six reported that

31:57

they had finally made their relationship

31:59

as a source reportedly confirmed

32:02

their relationship to people

32:04

now, it wasn't until christmas

32:06

that really sealed the deal for

32:08

the tabloids make ice at rocky

32:10

was photographed with rihanna in barbados

32:13

now, rocky's own father

32:15

had emigrated from barbados to the us

32:18

and he said, he immediately felt

32:20

a sense of belonging there he said it was

32:22

like a homecoming thing it was crazy i

32:24

always imagined what it would be like to my dad

32:26

before he came to america and i go

32:28

to visit those places and believe it or not, there

32:31

was something nostalgic about it it's so fun,

32:33

but familia maybe i'm about to

32:35

be to socrra you can tell me if i am,

32:37

but clearly barbados means so

32:39

much to rihanna i don't think we've covered a year of her life

32:41

when she hasn't returned that, like,

32:43

as soon as she seems to have a gap in her calendar,

32:46

she heads harm to buy she

32:49

often brings like the loves of his life,

32:51

back to barbados it

32:53

feels very fitting and

32:55

almost every telescope dare i say that

32:57

she ended up with a guy who rules or had ties

32:59

to the place that she calls harm no didn't think too

33:01

saccharine think you're absolutely right

33:03

i think it would probably main a great deal yeah

33:05

gq right that the appeal of these

33:07

couple was obvious to just about everyone

33:10

one line read that both insanely

33:12

hot they've both got culture shifting

33:15

side hustles that both fashion articles

33:17

that coupling feels that predestined

33:20

yeah wow rihanna latest that her mom

33:22

is usually a pretty tough nut to crack

33:24

but that she liked rocky right away

33:26

on that barbados trip you know the kind of guy

33:28

who cracked smile mclaughlin yeah

33:32

rihanna said my mother hasn't really good rate

33:34

on paypal she observed fast and then she'll

33:36

move slowly guess i'm like that to

33:38

there are some guys i've dated that she weren't even looking

33:41

at to the guy she was charmed

33:43

by him from the jump does

33:45
