Just in case Drake’s ridiculously lovely speech to Rihanna as she collected the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 VMAs wasn’t enough to melt our hearts like a bowl of chocolate over a pan of boiling water, he’s now taken to Instagram to celebrate the singer even more.

No, those aren't tears in our eyes. Definitely not. Nope.

Sharing an adorable selfie with RiRi, Drake showed how proud he was in a caption written to the Diamonds singer, saying: “This is a night for us all to be thankful for what you have done for us! You have affected so many of our lives in the best way possible.

“Tonight we celebrate you @badgalriri”.

Stick a fork in us, we’re done.

Drake made us all teary-eyed when he presented RiRi with her epic award (after she killed it with FOUR incredible performances), telling the audience: “We love the music, which can change styles from album to album. We love thevideos which change their artistic vision from year to year. But most of all, we love the woman who hasn't changed from day one.

“She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 yearsold. She's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I've looked up to her, even though she's younger than me. She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry.”

A thousand heart-eyed emojis, please.
