Drake and Rihanna visit Justin Bieber's favorite Houston strip club, drop $17,000
What is it about Houston strip clubs and celebrities? Radar reports that after Drake's Wednesday night concert at the Toyota Center, the rapper visited the VLive International Gentleman's Club with Rihanna, who was in between "make-up" shows on her "Diamonds" world tour. (She had canceled several shows last spring due to health issues.)
According to reports, Drake attended Rihanna's show in Dallas Monday night and she attended his show at the Toyota Center Wednesday night before performing at the Toyota Center on Thursday night.
E! reports the duo spent $17,000 at the Houston club, which gained attention last month when Justin Bieber dropped by with boxer Floyd Mayweather. (The Daily Mail published a video of staffers counting the cash that Drake, 26, and Rihanna, 25, reportedly left.)
A dancer at the Richmond Avenue club told E! that Rihanna arrived around 2 a.m. Thursday and Drake arrived around a half-hour later. They stayed for around three hours and left together.
Dancer Johnni Blaze said the duo "looked like a couple," sat close to each other and were even dressed alike. She added that she and Rihanna bonded over their partially shaved hairdos and that the singer even gave her advice about her budding singing career, telling the dancer to "dream big" and not be afraid to put herself out there.
But Drake was "too busy throwing money" to engage in conversation, the dancer said.
