Jennifer Lopez and Drake dating rumors: Pop diva cancels New Year's eve gig to spend time with Drizzy?
Rumor has it that Drake and Jennifer Lopez are dating, and the pop diva reportedly canceled a $1 million New Year's Eve gig to spend time with the Canadian rapper.
According to reports, Drizzy is hosting a huge New Year's Eve party at MGM Grand's Hakkasan, and the "Shades of Blue" actress could likely be there. After being spotted hanging out with Drake during her most recent "All I Have" Vegas shows, J.Lo recently dropped out of a million-dollar E11even nightclub gig in Miami at the last-minute. Sources claim that the singer cited a desire for "personal and family time" as the reason for her decision to cancel her performance.
Drake and Lopez sparked romance rumors earlier this week when the rapper was seen dropping by to see her Vegas show twice. Although the two celebrities are not afraid to let the public see their closeness through social media posts, a source who knows them both told People magazine that they are just friends. The duo has been spending more time together, but the source clarified that the entertainers are currently busy on doing collaborations.
"They seem to really like and respect each other, but it's early," revealed the source. "Where it goes, we shall see. Friends of them both are hoping it becomes something, but it's too early to say more than that."
Regardless of the real score between the two, it seems that Rihanna is not too happy about Drake and J.Lo's rumored romance. Fans have noticed on Instagram this weekend that the Barbadian beauty hit the "Ain't Your Mama" songstress with the dreaded unfollow, causing most of their followers to believe that Rihanna doesn't like the idea of her friend dating her ex-beau. Aside from being in the same industry, the two female singers go way back — with Rihanna even gifting the actress/producer a pair of shoes from her design collaboration with Manolo Blahnik along with a sweet handwritten note.
