However, RiRi famously replied, “Come back when you’re an all-star.”
Well, Thursday night, Joel became an NBA all-star, following the Sixers’ win against the Boston Celtics.
But in a post-game interview that evening, he confirmed he’s no longer interested in the “Love on the Brain” singer.
“She denied me back then, so why go with her again? I might have to pass that and move on to the next one…trust the process,” he said.
No comment yet from Rihanna, who’s rumored to be dating Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
