Rihanna has seemingly taken aim at one of her exes with her latest Instagram Story posts featuring her partner and father of her children, A$AP Rocky.
The Barbadian musician could be seen having a whale of a time in videos posted to her social media story, where she was dancing up against Rocky.
They were seen enjoying the tunes on the Aura Experience cruise in Barbados, with the 'Love the Way You Lie' singer seen bending over and dancing up against her partner.
Rocky reciprocated, dancing behind Rihanna while also giving her behind a playful slap or two as the couple was all smiles before going back to chanting with the music.
But in one of the videos, the billionaire looked to call out her ex-boyfriend, Drake.
The video in question might show Rihanna dancing up against Rocky, but on her story, there's an edit which zooms in on a bystander next to the couple.
He can be seen shooting a long, almost judgemental look at the couple as she continues twerking, turning away before taking one more disapproving glance at the pair.
Rihanna then zoomed in on his face both times, adding text on-screen which read "my x in the studio."
Fans loved the move, but many started to make the connection with her former boyfriends, with some suggesting that she was calling Drake out.
It came after the Canadian rapper seemingly took a shot at A$AP Rocky in 'Burning Bridges', as part of his multi-album release ICEMAN, in May 2026.
Many believe that he can be heard rapping about Rihanna, criticizing the fact that she didn't post Rocky's new single to support its release, saying: "Your baby momma ain't even post a single."
His fans quickly took to Rihanna's social media accounts, spamming the lyric and references to it in her comment sections.
The celebrity couple had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2009 onwards, with the relationship coming to a brutal end in October 2016.
The pair shared a close relationship over the years, featuring on songs such as 'Take Care' and 'Work' over the years, the latter of which featured an intimate music video featuring them.
Drake and Rihanna called time on their relationship around two months after Drake publicly professed his love for her at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2016.
They did not end on good terms, though they haven't openly criticized one another.
Rihanna said in a 2018 Vogue interview that they were no longer friends, describing the moment at the 2016 VMAs as deeply uncomfortable.
They drifted apart over the years, as Rihanna simply said that 'it is what it is' when it comes to the situation.

Rihanna is reportedly dating fellow musician A$AP Rocky after months of rumors over her love life.
The 32-year-old icon's last official relationship was with billionaire Hassan Jameel, from whom she split in January of this year.
However, according to a recent report by Page Six, the Barbadian Fenty Beauty founder was apparently spotted having dinner with A$AP Rocky and some other friends at the Beatrice Inn in New York over the weekend.
Take a look at this video of the pop icon chilling out in a catsuit during quarantine:

According to PEOPLE Magazine, an anonymous source has informed the outlet that the two are now dating. However, neither Rihanna nor A$AP Rocky has officially confirmed any romantic affiliation between them.
Despite this, the two have collaborated a lot together in the past. PEOPLE notes that A$AP served as an opening act for Rihanna's dates of her Diamonds World Tour back in 2013, and was also featured on her track "Cockiness."
Rihanna also featured the rapper in her last Fenty Skin campaign back in July, and they conducted numerous interviews together to promote the brand - clearly showing that they enjoyed each other's company, platonically or otherwise.
For instance, in an interview with GQ, A$AP stated that he enjoyed working with Rihanna a lot, stating:
"I think the hardest part about working with you is not goofin’ off and laughing the whole time. Like this s*** is comedy. That's the hardest part.
"You know people be so cool it's hard not to, not to laugh. That's all. But it was fun. The hardest part is not having too much fun. You just forget that it's still work at the end of the day."

He also spoke about the lack of diversity in the cosmetics and skincare industry, adding:
"I wish it was more versatility, diversity, obviously you know. I think it's kinda trying to evolve especially with a person like yourself. But I do wish that there was way more versatility."
Indeed, diversity appears to be one of Rihanna's watchwords, and her Savage X Fenty site was recently praised on social media for openly showcasing plus-size men.
A fashion writer has apologized for sparking a "reckless" rumor that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had split following an alleged cheating scandal.
Earlier this week, multiple news outlets reported that the 34-year-old 'Umbrella' singer - who is pregnant with A$AP Rocky's child - had split from the rapper after allegedly catching him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muaddi.
However, despite making headlines across multiple platforms, sources close to the couple quickly denied the claims, with one source telling Page Six: "It’s not true."
Muaddi - who has collaborated with both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky - also took to social media to quash the claims.
"I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile," she wrote in an Instagram Story. "I initially assumed that this fake gossip - fabricated with such malicious intent - would not be taken seriously."
She continued: "However, in the last 24 hours I’ve been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one’s life.
"Therefore I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for."
"While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business — I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend," she concluded the message.
Now, the person responsible for originally tweeting the rumor has issued an apology.
The rumors first circulated online when fashion writer Louis Pisano tweeted out: "Rihanna & ASAP Rocky have split. Rihanna broke up with him after she caught him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muaddi."
Pisano - who uses they/them pronouns - added, "ASAP & Amina is not new though as she was seeing him years ago and also collaborated with him on a collection of shoes."
After deleting those original tweets, Pisano has once again taken to Twitter to issue a statement on what they are calling a "dumb decision".
"Hi all, so I'd like to address the situation," their message starts. "Last night I made a dumb decision to tweet some information I had received.
"I'm not going to talk about sources, blame others for a discussion that was started, etc because at the end of the day I made the decision to draft that tweet, press send and put that out with my name on it. So I'd like to formally apologize to all parties involved with my actions and reckless tweets."
Pisano continues: "I fully accept the consequences of my actions for my tweets and any harm they caused.
"I have no excuse for it, I've been way too wrapped up in Twitter drama and unfortunately leaned into being messy as a brand which is something going forward I'm going to move away from.
"I'm going to take some time away from Twitter to figure out what that looks like and how I can start using my platforms better as I've gotten away from using them for more positive work. Again I apologize to them for this unnecessary drama."
Page Six adds that Rihanna has been dating A$AP Rocky - real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers - since 2020, with the pair making their relationship public back in November.
Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty has revealed how the superstar singer broke the exciting baby news to him and her family.
On Monday, the 'We Found Love' hitmaker showed off her blossoming baby bump as she took a stroll through NYC with boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
Now, Rihanna's estranged dad has spoken out about the happy news, saying he was "ecstatic" after being told about his daughter's pregnancy.
Take a look at Rihanna's blossoming baby bump right here:
Ronald said he believes that at 33 the singer is at just the right age to start a family of her own - and is hoping she will have a baby girl.
"I’m ecstatic. To be honest, I only found out yesterday but for the last five years, everybody was saying she was pregnant all the time," he told The Sun.
"She called me and said she had some good news for me and I automatically knew what it was. I think this is a good time, she doesn’t want to wait until she’s in her 40s."
Ronald, 68, went on: "If you want to bake a good cake you’ve got to have fresh eggs. Rihanna is very protective of her brothers, nephews and all kids, she will be a great mother. It will come naturally to her.
"I already have two grandsons so I would like a granddaughter this time. Since the news was announced I’ve been bombarded by phone calls from friends and relatives, everyone is very happy."
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, both 33, have known each other for almost a decade, but their relationship turned romantic in 2020.
Fans speculated she was pregnant in November of last year after she reportedly asked staff not to smoke around her when she attended Barbados' first-ever presidential inauguration.
A$AP - real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers - confirmed his romance with Rihanna last year, describing her as "the love of [his] life."
He said: "She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the one."
The rapper added that his forthcoming record All Smiles was "absolutely influenced" by Rihanna.
In September of 2021, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala. Fans also speculated she was pregnant then as she chose to wear a baggy outfit.
Speaking previously about her plans for motherhood, when asked where she envisions herself in a decade, she told British Vogue: "Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids - three or four of ’em."
People cannot stop talking about a viral video showing Rihanna and A$AP Rocky appearing to have a heated exchange after the 2026 Met Gala.
The clip, shared by TMZ, shows the couple sitting inside a vehicle while speaking to each other, with both stars looking noticeably serious.
The moment quickly sparked speculation online because it came shortly after the pair appeared affectionate at the event itself. Rihanna and Rocky had smiled together on the Met Gala carpet and stairs, and they were also seen kissing during the evening. However, the mood inside the car looked very different, leading many fans to wonder if the couple had been arguing.
Now, a lip-reading expert claims to have decoded what was allegedly said during the one-minute-and-five-second interaction, offering a possible explanation for the tense atmosphere caught on camera.
Nicola Hickling, a lip-reading expert and founder of the company LipReader, analyzed the footage for Casino.org.
According to Hickling’s analysis, Rihanna appeared to ask Rocky: “You don’t care for me, do you?” She claimed he responded: “Are you for real? You’re crazy. Can’t you see, c**p c**p.”
Hickling further alleged that the 'We Found Love' singer then told him: “Get out, I can’t be around you” before laughing mockingly. The expert said Rocky replied: “I’m done here.”
Rihanna then appeared to shoot back: “You’re done? I’m done. I’m tired. Now you’re done, you can drop me.”
According to Hickling, Rocky ended the conversation by saying: “You trying something, hey. Try.”
Body language expert Inbaal Honigman also shared her interpretation of the interaction while speaking on behalf of Casino.org.
“Rihanna is the one asking the questions, her eyes fixed on Rocky with determined focus. Looking straight ahead, he is caught in her gaze and cannot escape it. This direct eye contact is fearless, suggesting she is challenging him to answer,” Honigman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
“She shakes her head from side to side, clearly unhappy with his response. Her quizzical expression combines narrowed eyes with lightly pursed lips, signalling that she is looking for answers, not excuses.
"Rihanna does not take her eyes off him until he provides the information she wants. Her eye contact is intense, almost searing into her partner as he struggles to find the right words.”
Honigman also suggested Rihanna appeared upset and unwilling to accept deflection during the conversation.
“Rihanna’s chin is jutting forward, a gesture often associated with pride. It is possible that Rocky has hurt her pride, and that this is the subject of the discussion. She is not smiling at all, which suggests she is not interested in humor or deflection. She wants direct answers,” the expert said.
Honigman also analyzed Rocky’s body language during the exchange, claiming he appeared visibly uncomfortable throughout the interaction.
“Rocky’s eyebrows are raised into a triangular shape, communicating distress. This appears to be an argument he does not want to have. After unsuccessfully appealing to her empathy, he appears to look for a way to compose himself.
"The head turn acts as a blocking gesture, giving him a brief respite from the intensity of the situation and allowing him a degree of psychological privacy.”
The expert concluded: “[A$AP Rocky’s] discomfort is further evidenced by the way he fidgets with his clothing. Their interaction appears confrontational.”
A$AP Rocky has finally confirmed his romance with Rihanna, referring to her as "the love of my life".
The rapper, 32, and singer, 33, have kept their relationship under wraps since they were first rumored to be dating in January 2020.
But now, in a new interview with GQ Magazine, A$AP Rocky gushes over the Bajan beauty, while remaining tight-lipped about many details of their life together. The smitten musician even refers to her as "the love of my life", before lovingly calling her "my lady".
According to the 'Fashion Killa' performer, dating Rihanna has been "so much better" than any of his previous romances.
When asked for a lowdown on life as a taken man, he responded: "So much better. So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the One."
One thing that A$AP Rocky and the Fenty Beauty founder have in common is their Bajan roots. Rihanna was famously born and raised in Barbados and A$AP Rocky's father originally hails from the Caribbean island too.
The duo even traveled to Rihanna's home country over Christmas last year, where A$AP Rocky admits to feeling a real "sense of belonging".
He elaborated: "It was like a homecoming thing. It was crazy. I always imagined what it would be like for my dad, before he came to America. And I got to visit those places, and believe it or not, there was something nostalgic about it. It was foreign but familiar."
Now that the couple have been together for some time, many fans are eager to know if they plan on starting a family together. And it turns out that the songwriter is open to the idea!
When asked if he is ready for fatherhood, A$AP Rocky responded: "If that’s in my destiny, absolutely."
He then jokes: "I think I’m already a dad! All these motherf***ers are already my sons - whatchu talkin’ 'bout! Nah, but like, I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very."
The pair first sparked dating rumors in January 2020, with a source confirming the romance to ET Online nearly a year later.
