Rihanna Dating a New Man?
Rihanna may have a new love interest.
The 26-year-old Barbadian pop star who previously dated singer Chris Brown and rapper Drake is now being linked to a new man.
Cliff Dixon, the good friend of All-Star NBA forward Kevin Durant, has been fueling rumors of a romance with Rihanna by flaunting the singer on social media. Earlier this month Dixon, a former college basketball player, posted a picture of Rihanna on Instagram.

"She said they gonna hate no matter what, I said the PJ ready, Where you wanna go for lunch," he captioned the photograph.
Dixon also made Rihanna his "Woman Crush Wednesday" photograph on Instagram on July 3, captioning the image, "they ain't hip."
The pair took rumors further than social media, when they were both spotted at Durant's pool party on July 4 weekend. They also continued their celebration together at Hooray Henry's in West Hollywood, Calif. where Hollywood Life posted photographs of the pair looking close and leaving with one another.
However, Rihanna has been in some public relationships recently, and spoke last month about being casual with dating .
"When I go on a date, I look the guy over, from head to toe," Rihanna told the German magazine Bravo. "But to be honest, I don't want a serious relationship right now. I just want to have fun!"
The singer has never shied away from talking about matters of the heart, and previously admitted that she does not quite understand love yet.
"How many of you are in love? How many of you hate love," Rihanna questioned last year before performing "What Now" at her concert. "How many of you don't (expletive) understand it? I'm in that group."
The singer previously opened up about some dating rules that she had to adhere to growing up.
"I wasn't allowed to date," she told Teen Vogue. "At 13 my mom would tell me, 'You can have a boyfriend when you're 16!' And then at 16 she'd say, 'I never said that - and as a matter of fact, it's 40!'"
