Whilst Rihanna spent yesterday giving evidence against her former lover, he new bit of stuff, Drake, was brushing off reports that he’s dating the pop star.

The 21-year-old pop star has been linked to Lil Wayne's protege Aubrey 'Drake' Graham, 22, since the pair were spotted kissing in New York last month, but Drake - who is writing songs for the Umbrella hitmaker - immediately played down reports of a budding new romance.

What’s more, as Rihanna faced scrutiny yesterday as she spoke out against Chris Brown for the first time, Drake was busy warning gossips not to speculate about the singer's romantic status at this difficult time.

He tells ET Canada, "We're just good friends. She's a great person, and I am happy to have her in my life. She gives me a lot of great advice, and she is very talented."
