From the sound of things, the romance between Drake and Rihanna has all but fizzled out and left them both with a bad taste in their mouths. That could be the only reason why the two singers acted so distant when they ran into each other at the Hot 97 Summer Jam gig on Sunday in New York City. Page Six reports that both Drake and Rihanna took to the party separately and did not make contact for the entire evening, whereas just weeks ago they couldn't keep their hands off each other and they made out in public or in bar restrooms.

May seems to be the month when their romance ended, and ever since then, they are no longer even friends, which made for some awkward moments at the party on Sunday. People who went at the party said that Drake arrived with Lil' Wayne and immediately took over the DJ booth.

“Rihanna was at the table in front of the DJ booth. They smiled at each other, but that was it. He kept to himself and played some new songs. Rihanna danced with her friends,” said one source.

Back when the first rumors of their breakup emerged, it was suggested that Rihanna was too needy and when Drake confronted her, she gave him the cold shoulder treatment, resulting in their inevitable split. It seems that Drake convinced Rihanna she was a princess and when she demanded she be treated like one, he gave her a reality check.

It doesn't take a scientist to realize that a celebrity with an ego as big as Rihanna's would take offense and call everything off. Of course, there were also some rumors that Drake was mad at the singer for refusing to cut ties with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, despite the fact he was in jail at the time.

Some additional friction might have been caused by the fact that Drake seemed to be enjoying his recent performance on stage with Nicki Minaj just a little too much. He and Nicki danced and flirted and he ended up telling the crowd that he could “stay like that all night” when she jumped into his arms at the end.

But whatever the reason, the love affair between Rihanna and Drake seems to have run its course. Though passionate, it burned out quickly, leaving both artists hurting, or at least one of them. You can expect a breakup song from either one as they take to different corners to lick their wounds.

So far, Drake seems to be faring better.
