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.
