The Rapper: A$AP Rocky The Pop Star: Rihanna The Rumor: In December 2013, Rocky and RiRi were spotted playing pool on a "date" in New York City, which led many people to assume that they were a thing. "They weren't kissing or anything," a source told the New York Post, "but they were looking very friendly." Think It Was True? Probably not. All throughout the second half of 2013, there were rumors about the two dating. They worked together on several occasions, though, and Rocky served as the opening act on her "Diamonds" world tour. So we're guessing they were just friends, which would explain the "very friendly" behavior. Photo Credit: Mirror

The Rapper: RiFF RAFF The Pop Star: Katy Perry The Rumor: In March 2014, RiFF RAFF told TMZ that he went out for sushi and then went bowling with the singer—he called it an "average date"—and said they might go on a second date, too. That led some people to believe that Perry might be open to dating him seriously. Think It Was True? The first date was true. The idea of a second date—or "round two" as RiFF RAFF called it—was not. From what we can tell, the two never went out again and did not date seriously. Photo Credit: Daily Mail

The Rapper: French Montana The Pop Star: Miley Cyrus The Rumor: In December 2013, a photo of the two hugging in a hotel lobby in New York City started making the rounds on the Internet. Reports also indicated that the two were spotted flirting at Z100's Jingle Ball concert at Madison Square Garden. Think It Was True? No. The two did link up—in the studio—but Miley herself shot down the dating rumors. "DONT hug your friends goodbye unless you wanna be rumored 'dating,'" she wrote on Instagram. "I wanna think more of the world but people just keep proving their stupidity." Photo Credit: Daily Mail

The Rapper: Juicy J The Pop Star: Miley Cyrus The Rumor: In September 2013, several tabloid sites reported that Miley and Juicy J were dating—and that they were also going to have a baby together. Think It Was True? Well, it's almost a year later now and Miley hasn't had a baby, so…Miley played along with this rumor, though, and even tweeted about how she was going to name her baby "Juicy J Jr." Photo Credit: New York Daily News

The Rapper: Lil Wayne The Pop Star: Christina Milian The Rumor: In July 2014, the two were spotted holding hands at the 2014 ESPY Awards. Many people took that as a sign that the two were dating. Think It Was True? The jury is still out on this one. Both Wayne and Christina have denied that they're in a relationship. But the ESPYs photo—and the fact that Wayne brought Christina to the ESPYs in the first place—seems to indicate otherwise. Photo Credit: Daily Mail

The Rapper: Romeo The Pop Star: Demi Lovato The Rumor: In September 2011, Romeo did an interview with a group of paparazzi and proposed to the singer while he talked with them. He said that he had met her once at Disneyland and that he loved her smile. Think It Was True? No. Even though Romeo was clearly smitten, we never saw these two together in public and it doesn't seem like Demi ever responded to Romeo's proposal. Romeo did end up remixing Demi's song "Skyscraper" a few days after proposing to her, though. Photo Credit: Demi Lovato News

The Rapper: Romeo The Pop Star: Selena Gomez The Rumor: In December 2013, a photo of Selena wearing Romeo's sweatshirt and sitting on a bed was posted on Instagram. That led some people to think that something had happened between the two. Think It Was True? Doubtful. Sources close to Selena said that the two were not dating. Romeo has reportedly asked Selena out in the past and even publicly acknowledged that he wouldn't mind going out with her. But it doesn't seem like the two have ever been anything more than friends.

The Rapper: Nicki Minaj The Pop Star: Justin Bieber The Rumor: In October 2012, the pair released their video for their collaboration "Beauty and a Beat" and it featured them getting really close. Nicki later remarked, "I gotta keep an eye out for Selena," after hearing about the reception that the video received. Think It Was True? No. Nicki herself went on the record and said that, even though they were dancing seductively in the video, the skirt she wore prevented them from even touching. "He couldn't even feel me through that big poufy skirt," she said. "His little thing…no." Biebs has posted photos of Nicki on Instagram in the past, though, so he's clearly got a thing for her (who doesn't?!). Photo Credit: Idolator

The Rapper: Ricky Hil The Pop Star: Rita Ora The Rumor: In August 2014, Rita and Tommy Hilfiger's son were spotted out on a dinner date in New York City. They were photographed holding hands and took an Instagram photo of their tattooed hands, which seemed to indicate that they are, in fact, a couple. Think It Was True? Yes. Even though it's only been a few months now since Rita broke up with Calvin Harris, it seems like she has moved on and found love again—even though she's still saying she's single.

The Rapper: Drake The Pop Star: Taylor Swift The Rumor: In January 2014, someone created an Instagram meme that featured a photo of Drake and Taylor along with the caption, "Imagine if Drake and Taylor Swift were in a relationship and then broke up." Drake liked the photo and…wait, Drake liked the photo?! Think It Was True? Ha. No. Drake and Taylor weren't dating and aren't going to be dating anytime soon. But we would like to see what would happen if they did date and then broke up. No chance, though…right? Photo Credit: Hollywood Life
