Power to THE Couple of 2016

Drake and Rihanna are OFFICIALLY together?!?! Finally.

Power to THE Couple of 2016
ET! Online

Any one who knows anything about pop culture knows that last Sunday's VMA's will go down in history, particularly for one reason and one reason only: Drake confessed his love to Rihanna for all the world to see, FINALLY. I can personally say that I predicted this romance to have been blooming since before Aubrey and Robyn's collaboration in "Take Care" back in 2011 because of a particular saucy lyric that I will leave ambiguous because it seems too obvious now. But now that he has made it clear that their relationship is official, I can say that they are officially my favorite power couple as of Sunday.


My admiration for the couple stems from the lack of relationship experience I have, and the fact that, up to this point in time, they seem to emulate a happy, stable relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts despite the two having had previously claimed excessively that they were just friends for the past (almost) decade they have known each other. Who doesn't remember the two on Rihanna's music video for "Work"?

Drake waited over half a decade to finally be with the girl of his dreams. Now that's patience. And it's proving to be sublimely worth it for both the two new lovebirds and us fans who have been waiting for the moment they officially become a couple.

Throughout both of their careers, Drake and Rihanna have shown to have mutual respect for each other's work. In Drake's VMA speech to his beau, he mentioned how he absolutely loved Rihanna's work, even in her early stages when she was releasing songs like "Pon de Replay" and others from "Music in the Sun". In the years to follow, our ears have been blessed with the collaborations of Rihanna and Drake on songs from "What's My Name?" to "Work". If you didn't love being around the people you work with, why even bother to choose to collaborate with them in the first place?

And last, but definitely not least, both Rihanna and Drake are just two awesome people. I follow Rihanna on SnapChat (badgal) and she is one of the finest people on social media. Even though she's been given so much -ish on tabloids doing, wearing and saying things that are considered too inappropriate, she continues to not give a care. She still does HER. Same with Drake. Throughout his music career, he has been given -ish for his music, yet he still keeps doing HIM. This is so important in any relationship: to realize your worth on your own. After all, when things come crumbling down because of your significant other, who is the only person who can help you get back up again? You.

All in all, I love Rihanna and Drake together. I felt it from the moment I heard that lyric in "Take Care", wondering if she would ever let him know if she was ready. Obviously, she's finally ready to take things to the next step with him, and honestly, she deserves a good man. I mean, look at the way that he kisses her! They are goals in and of themselves and, together, they are couple goals.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
