Drake, 30, and Rihanna, 28, are Over with a capital “o”, and though they are talking, she has some residual anger — enough to skip out on his Dirty Thirty shindig! “It would be a lie if Rihanna didn’t want to be at Drake’s party last night,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “She did. She absolutely wanted to be with him and celebrate but her pride wouldn’t let her.” Aw, we’ve all been there.

“She’s still mad at him for many reasons, mainly because he’s such jerk who won’t commit and wants everything his way,” the source continues. “But they are talking. She hit him up and they’re planning to celebrate,” the insider reveals, “But she feels salty about how shit went down in their relationship.” We don’t blame her!

Rihanna wasn’t the only gal pal of Drake’s who missed out on his big day. We also hear that Nicki Minaj declined his invite, though unlike Rihanna, she has a man at home who was none too happy to hear his girlfriend was on the guest list. Yep, Meek Mill totally exploded when he heard Drake had invited Nicki, so she decided to stay home and further avoid ruffling Meek’s feathers.

As we previously told you, Drake and RiRi parted romantic ways toward the beginning of October, so it makes sense that the wounds are still fresh. On the other hand, we can’t see these two keeping their hands off each other forever — they always go back to each other at the end of the day because the chemistry is just too powerful!

HollywoodLifers, do you think Rihanna had a good reason for skipping Drake’s party — or should she have gone? Let us know!
