"DrakeAndRihanna.com" has reportedly not been authorized by either artist.

Twitter had all kinds of theories as to what the mysterious countdown at the URL DrakeAndRihanna.com could signify, but unfortunately, it's been reported that the site is unofficial. 

The appearance of the site comes two days after Drake  presented Rihanna with the Video Vanguard award at the 2016 MTV VMAs, but according a rep from Rihanna, as told to FADER, the domain is "fake" and has "nothing to do" with Rih or Drake.

The site was counting down to the date September 9th, 2016, which fans had speculated could signify the release date for new music, or perhaps, something to do with the relationship between the two artists, who've been sending mixed signals about whether they're dating.

This afternoon, the OVO Sound Twitter account also posted a picture of the billboard Drake put up to congratulate Rihanna on her Vanguard win, complete with the cryptic caption, "#WelcomeToTheFamily". So if you're looking for another Drake and Rihanna conspiracy theory, you could probably do something with that.
