Why Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Are Friends With Benefits

After the photos surfaced of the two performers lip-locking on August 15, a second source we spoke to says Rihanna and A$AP have an incredible relationship, but that they are just are extremely close and NOT dating. “He’s like a brother to her, they’re cool,” the source says.

Additionally, a third source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that there’s more than meets the eye with RiRi and A$AP. “Rihanna is not Mother Theresa, she is more Mother F***er,” the source explains. “She is definitely not afraid to be sexual. Just look at all her photos she posts.”

That being said, the source asserts, “there is no dating relationship happening between the two, but they are definitely sleeping with each other. So that can obviously lead into things more romantic.”

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Caught Hooking Up

Rihanna and A$AP were seen kissing on the set of their new music video on the early morning of August 15. Sure, the initial kiss was part of the video but HollywoodLife.com learned exclusively that there was spit-swapping even after the director said cut!

A source who witnessed the entire situation EXCLUSIVELY explains to HollywoodLife.com how it all went down:

They came out arm in arm and kissed. Then they moved locations to a bodega in Soho. A$AP and his boys were like, cat calling, as Rihanna walked in. Then they talked [at the] end of scene. The cameras stopped rolling, they got closer laughing and whispering and then they made out.

Now it’s your turn to sound off, HollywoodLifers. Do you think it won’t be long before Rihanna and A$AP start dating?
