There's definitely some romantic chemistry at work between Drake and Rihanna.

Drizzy, 29, introduced the Bajan beauty as she was honored with the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV Vmas Sunday, August 29.

He heaped praise on the 28-year old singer and admitted to being in love with her since he was 22-years old.

The two shared a brief hug/kiss before Rihanna accepted the award.

"MTV, this is such an amazing night," she told the audience. "It's such an amazing moment in my career. When I think about the Vanguard Award and receiving this tonight, all I could think of was my country. They're gonna be so proud. This is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country. My success, it started as my dream. But now, my success is not my own. It's my family's, it's my fans', it's my country's, the Caribbean as a whole, it's women, it's black women. So many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle. I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over. Thank you to every director who's taken a chance on me and my crazy ideas. There's so much growth that's happened over the last 11 years, and I can't believe I'm receiving a Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at 28 years old. It's crazy and I have so many people to thank."
