Look, Drake, we're all proud of Rihanna, but this is a little much, even for you.

Drizzy appears to have taken out a billboard congratulating RiRi,his dream girl and serial collaborator. Presumably it's referring to the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award she'll pick up at the VMAs on Sunday.

"Congratulations to Rihanna from Drake and everyone at [record label] OVO," reads the billboard in a cursive font that's probably called More Than Friends or something.

Rihanna will perform a medley at the awards show, so we'll see if she allows Drake, who has a few noms for "Hotline Bling," to join her on stage to do a little singing, a little rapping and a lot of corny dance moves.
