In June 2016, Bring It On: All or Nothing actress Rihanna was spotted partying with Drake while on tour in London, reigniting rumors about their relationship.
The two were reportedly dating back in 2009 when Drake was still a relatively unknown rapper. Their rumored romance even led to an altercation with Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown. Recently, Drake revealed that he and Rihanna were “kind of” dating.

Rihanna’s First Foray into Acting with Bring It On: All or Nothing
Ten years earlier, Rihanna ventured into acting with a cameo appearance in the popular direct-to-video film Bring It On: All or Nothing. Released directly to DVD on August 8, 2006, the film featured Rihanna, who had just turned 18 earlier that year, having been born on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados.

Rihanna’s hit song “Pon de Replay” is featured in the music video that the team earns the opportunity to perform, with her track “SOS” also appearing. In the film, as Rihanna dismisses the judges and announces the two finalists, there’s a noticeable moment where she briefly takes the microphone away from her mouth to clap. Yet, her voice continues as if she’s still speaking directly into the mic.
Although Rihanna was already familiar with being in front of the camera, Bring It On: All or Nothing marked her debut in a film role.
