He probably already knows, but here’s a helpful tip for A$AP Rocky about some potential Valentine’s Day gifts to skip this year when shopping for his longtime love Rihanna: no corny love songs please!
In a 90-second video captioned “Savage X Fenty Presents: Love Your Way!” the “Birthday Cake” singer slips into some revealing pink and purple lingerie from her Savage X Fenty collection to frost a cake and answer some sentimental, silly and sexy questions about the upcoming romantic holiday, while dropping some real talk about what she definitely doesn’t want.
After wondering if the frosting is edible — then taking a bite before finding out anyway — RihRih gets right to the heart of the matter when asked if she prefers a valentine or galentine celebration. “I’ve done galentines for, um, several years,” said the mother of two young children. “But it’s very nice to have a valentine.”

Popping some sprinkles on top, Rihanna was on the fence when it came to choosing between lace or latex, though. “Depends on the day,” she said with a wink, noting that if given the choice between a get-away and staying at home she views staying put as its own kind of get-away.
“I just want to stay home… and watch reality TV,” the billionaire fashion and cosmetics mogul relatably said in the clip captioned “it’s not even my birthday [birthday cake emoji].”
In another useful tip for rapper Rocky, Rihanna made it crystal clear that there is one thing she never, ever wants on the day most dudes spend running out to the local Walgreens to find the last, saddest bouquet of flowers after grabbing the lamest card left on the decimated racks.
“Ugh, please! Never make me a love song!” she huffed when asked to choose between a love tune or a love letter. “That is corny, trust me. I’ve seen it,” she added conspiratorially, without hinting at who she was hinting at.
A few more tips: walk on the beach or movie night? “I say make a movie on the beach,” she said while popping raspberries on her perfect confection. Flirty banter or heart-to-heart? On that one she couldn’t even keep a straight face when trying to solemnly suggest that it’s definitely the latter, because, “I’m a very vulnerable… person.”
In the end, all that frosting was for naught, as the cake slipped from RihRih’s hands at the end and another romantic gesture bit the dust.
