Drake and Rihanna fans were experiencing nirvana when a website—drakeandrihanna.com—had a countdown clock to what was thought to be the release of a collab. However, it turns out they got hoodwinked by notorious Internet personality Joanne The Scammer.
Doh!
Reports TMZ:
We know now the site is completely fake, and TMZ has learned the hoax was started because Drake pissed off one vengeful fan … Joanne the Scammer.
Joanne is a character played by Branden Miller. He tells us … he made the fake site as payback for Drake not taking a selfie with Joanne at the VMAs. Branden claims he got bum-rushed by security when he tried to take the shot.
Hell hath no fury like a petty scammer.
