Drake and Rihanna were first romantically linked in 2009, and went on to collaborate on a string of tracks together ('Work', 'Too Good', 'What's My Name?', 'Take Care').
The Canadian rapper famously confessed his love to her before presenting her with her Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV VMAs, saying, "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old."
However, following their on-again-off-again relationship, the pair appeared to officially end things at the end of 2016.
Elsewhere during the interview, Drake spoke about his son, Adonis, who he shares with French artist and former adult film star Sophie Brussaux.
