Rita and Rihanna the best of friends?

Who would have thought that these two would end up the best of friends? It seems the two really hit it off when they met at London’s O2 Arena for Jay-z and Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ tour last night.

The new best buds even shared pics from their evening together with Rita tweeting the above photo to Rihanna with the caption: “Hatin A$$ Biatch!!!! Mwah!!!!!”

Later that night, the two headed over to Dstrkt Restaurant for the  The ‘Watch The Throne’ tour afterparty. Celebs on the guest-list included Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin and Trey Songz. They must have really had a really good night as the next morning Rita tweeted that she was still drunk:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rihanna was also supposed to be on a flight the next day but missed it, resulting in her having to push back a day of work with her choreographer. She tweeted:

“U know life is great when u wake up at 9 am DRUNK!!!!! #London#happybirthdayTYTY #G4L #H0Navy”

“You know it was a good night when u wake up n run to your BFF’s room like… How did I get in my bed? Did I walk? Stumble? Get carried?”

“So ummm…. I’m supposed to be on a plane rt now!”

“JayZ saved me!!!!! I got an extra day off sorry..” 

So I guess all of the rivalry rumours can finally be put to rest, now that they’ve put on this public display of affection. But what do you think? Do you think this was all for publicity, or do you think Rita and Rhi Rhi have actually formed a genuine friendship? Leave your comments below!
