Drake is one of the most respected celebrities in the world. Being at the heights of fame as one of the most famous rappers to have ever existed, he has created an empire and inspired some of the biggest names today. As high-profile as he is, it is not surprising that he would be involved with equally successful and renowned people. While the rapper’s name has been put next to many throughout his career, his relationship with Rihanna received the most attention.
Both artists were at the heights of success in their respective genres in the music industry when rumors of their romance took over the world. As beautiful as this was when it lasted, the end was just as rocky. So much so, that Drake refuses to sing their collaboration, Work, now that they have gone their separate ways.
Drake Refused To Sing His Song With Rihanna
There were more than a few rumors about Drake and Rihanna’s relationship. Nothing added fuel to this fire more than their 2016 song, Work. Not only did the pair make a song together, but the themes of the music video only added to the speculation about the nature of their relationship. However, since the pair went their separate ways, this song has carried a sour feeling for both of them. Recently at a concert, Drake performed this song, or what can be called a performance.
“I don’t sing this song anymore. You can sing it for me.”
Drake said he doesn’t perform Rihanna's collaboration ‘Work’ anymore.

The reason for this, as revealed by No Jumper on X, is that the rapper refused to sing this song. He mentioned that he no longer wished to perform this song anymore. He instead asked the audience to sing it for him.
Drake And Rihanna Ended On Bad Terms
Drake’s decision to refuse to sing this song does make a lot of sense because the pair aren’t on talking terms anymore. When rumors of their relationship were at their highest, the singer would time and time again state that she and the rapper were just friends. However, since their rumored split, she has been clear that they are no longer friends. She has also moved on with her life, being a mother of two, with ASAP Rocky.
Drake, on the other hand, seems to have been very vocal about his split with Rihanna through his music. His most recently released album, For All the Dogs, is rumored to have several songs talking about, not only his relationship and feelings towards the singer but also her partner, Rocky.
