Drake also had some kind words to say about Rihanna on Instagram.

You have affected so many of our lives in the best way possible. Tonight we celebrate you!"
Since Drake declared his love for Rihanna onstage at the VMAs, they've been quite public about their relationship, with Rihanna even getting a tattoo to show how serious she is about her guy. The ink is on her left ankle and is of a camouflage shark. A source tells ET that the new tattoo is a nod to a stuffed animal that Drake bought her during a romantic date last month at the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in his native Toronto.
