    Taylor and Drake were looking pretty cosy at his birthday and Rihanna is apparently not impressed

    When Drake turned 30 recently, he decided to celebrate by throwing a suitably star-studded bash. Attracting some of the biggest names in the music industry, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and John Mayer all making an appearance. However, there was one noticeable absence – Drake's ex, Rihanna.

    After the two were reported to have split up (again), Drake was spotted cosying up to Taylor Swift at his birthday party and, according to the HollywoodLife.com, Rihanna is NOT happy about it.

    Speaking to the site, a source said: 'Taylor doesn't stand a chance with Drake. She ain't got nothing Drake wants and she certainly doesn't want the type of headaches and drama he's capable of giving a woman.

    'Taylor's known for writing songs after her bitter break-ups with her exes and if she got a dose of the games Drake plays, she'd be writing songs about it until she turns 100. Drake's a deadly spider and Taylor can mess around and get bit if she wants to.'

    Rihanna and Drake have been on again and off again from the very beginning, first sparking romance rumours way back in 2009. And after some serious PDA at the MTV VMas 2016, not to mention that moment when Drake publicly confessed his love for Rihanna on stage, it felt like everything was going well for one of our favourite A-List pairings. They even have one of the best celebrity tattoos out there - we're talking about matching sharks, natch.

    This time, we were pretty sure that Rihanna and Drake were going to go the distance. But alas, it's just not to be (at the moment), as reports are coming in that the two have chosen to go their separate ways.

    A source told Entertainment Weekly: 'Rihanna and Drake are seeing other people at the moment. They are not exclusive anymore. They still love each other, but their schedules have gotten in the way.'

    'Anything can change between them though, for better or worse. they are still in each other's lives' the source added.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't look as if the split has been all that amicable, either. Drake has recently been spotted out and about looking very cosy with model India Love, and, seemingly in response, Rihanna posted the below picture to her Instagram a couple of days ago.

    Make of that what you will...

    This weekend, Drake was spotted watching the Toronto Blue Jays baseball game with India Love, whilst Rihanna spent the weekend in Barbados with her family, sharing pictures of the good times they were having.

    But before you think love is dead, it's worth noting that this isn't the first time the pair have split up, so they may well get back together again in the future. After all, Drake did tell the world that he'd been in love with Rihanna since the day that they met. So, here's hoping.
