After rumours emerged at the weekend that Rihanna and her boyfriend Hassan Jameel had split after three years together, fans were falling over themselves to offer the singer a shoulder to cry on.

But judging by the latest photos floating around the internet, Ri instead decided to rekindle her friendship with Drake for support, after they were spotted together at the Yams Day charity show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn [19 January].

An onlooker captured a video of Drake and Rihanna standing side by side but a foot apart at the gig, with Rihanna wearing a cream shearling and black leather jacket, and Drake sporting a plain puffer jacket and white cap.

Considering Drake is the king of emotional lyrics, we have no doubt he was shedding words of wisdom following Rihanna's split - even if they do have a fairly complicated history. Want a recap?

At the 2016 MTV VMAs, Drake made a particularly gushy speech about her while presenting the Vanguard Award, commenting, "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old" before calling her an "iconic beam."

In a Vogue interview two years later, Rihanna said, "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. 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."

She then said of Drake, "We don't have a friendship now, but we're not enemies either. It is what it is."

It looks like Rihanna's put that behind her, and the pair are hanging out once again. Nice!
