While Rihanna is currently very happy in her relationship with A$AP Rocky, the "Desperado" songstress has been linked to several other men in the entertainment industry throughout her career. Of course, Drake comes to mind, but there are also Chris Brown and Travis Scott. Additionally, she was once affiliated with Philly-based rapper Young Chris, who cleared up rumours regarding an alleged nude photo of them during a recent interview with VladTV.

"That’s some bullshit right there. That’s some weird shit," the Young Gunz artist said of the gossip, immediately shutting it down. According to him, an image like the one in question does exist, though it finds him posing with another woman – not Rihanna. "I hear a lot of stories about that, [and] muthaf*ckas feel some type of way about it, [but I’ve] never heard it directly to me, or from the horse’s mouth, like n*ggas be weird," Chris added.

The 40-year-old went on to say, "If you feel some kinda way about what the people saying on my comments, [or], what they assuming, that shit is crazy. They took that shit way out of proportion bro." Rihanna herself has never spoken on the gossip, so it seems Chris' statement will have to be enough to clear things up for the both of them. Elsewhere in his recent interviews, the lyricist got candid about a major past altercation in hip-hop history.

During the mid-2000s Roc-A-Fella split, Young Chris made the decision to side with Jay-Z over Dame Dash. The "Full Effect" artist spoke with Math Hoffa on the My Expert Opinion podcast, at which time he explained his stance on the situation. "I remember Dame was telling me to do a solo project," he said. "That’s kind of why I went with Jay, you know? My loyalty to Neef [Buck]. We already did the first album and I’ma follow-up, you feel me? That was my situation. I think back on it sometimes ’cause I never looked at it as being the Bobby of the group. Dame was probably looking at the shit, but we went with Jay and we did what we did." Do you think Chris made the right decision?
