Drake 'loves' Rihanna, feelings ignite during Chris Brown relationship? Should RiRi date Drizzy or Karrueche Tran's beau?

Rihanna and Drake are just "hooking up" and having fun, but apparently the Young Money rapper wants something a little more serious...

In fact, Drizzy had major feelings for RiRi while she was still dating her infamous ex, Chris Brown!

An alleged insider for Hollywood Life explains, "He stood by patiently while she was with another guy. He has a lot of heart for Rihanna and only wants what's best for her... He stood by - patiently, I might add - while she was with the other guy. He didn't say anything. He didn't try to c*ck block. He didn't try to throw salt in his game. All he did was stay back and watch."  

But now's his perfect time to make a move.

"Robyn [Drake's apparent nickname for Rihanna] made her choice back then and while it didn't work out in the end, Drake still loves and respects her... Drake is old school and believes that people learn from their mistakes and he's not one to judge," the source continues. "He'd never treat her or anyone else the way homeboy [Chris] did but that's just him. He doesn't even speak on that situation, really. He's just real happy that Robyn's on her feet and smiling."

Should RiRi and Drizzy officially take things to the next level?

Initial rumors suggested that the "Diamonds" songstress was texting Breezy again, but apparently that's not true.

But now the "Fine China" singer's on-and-off again relationship with Karrueche Tran seems to be on-the-rocks. So what's up with that - does he still have feelings for Rihanna?

Wonder what Drake thinks about that. Stay tuned as the Chrianna drama continues yet again!
