By Brittany Stubbs

Nothing like a romantic city to bring two pals together. Rihanna attended Drake’s concert at the Palais Omnisport de Bercy in Paris on Monday, Feb. 24. After the show, she was photographed meeting the rapper at Club 77. “She didn’t want to be seen at all,” an onlooker reported to UsMagazine.com. “She kept her head down and charged through the back of the club with her friends.” The eyewitness then added, “Drake looked very tired, but he was smiling around Rihanna. They chatted, danced a little, and seemed close.” The two had also been spotted grabbing dinner together the night before. Although they’ve never come out as a couple, there have been rumors about Drake and Rihanna dating on-and-off for two years now.
