After rekindling their romance earlier this year, Drake and Rihanna have been distant from each other lately -- it has been reported that the "Diamonds" singer is mad at her boyfriend for telling her that she is getting "too needy" and that he needs his own time to work.

"She's mad at him a little bit because he told her, 'Baby, you're too needy. Let me hustle, babe. Let me work,'" a source revealed. "That really hurt her feelings because she really loves him and wants things to work out between them."

The Barbadian singer is supposedly very serious when it comes to her heart as well as dating relationship, and she is letting the Canadian rapper know about it by creating distance between the two of them. "She's being stubborn," the source continued. "When he told her she's too needy, she was like 'All right, n***a, I'll show you needy,' and [she's] been doing her own thing."

So what point is Rihanna trying to make? She is currently "trying to make him miss her. You know, all this high school shit." According to the source, Drake certainly was not trying to hurt his girlfriend's feelings. "It wasn't like he was trying to be mean," the source said. "The way he delivered the message was [respectful]. He basically told her that he's on a 'serious paper-chasing mission and wants to get all of it while the getting is good.'"

However, despite the "Nothing Was the Same" rapper's recent "needy" comment, the couple's relationship is still "very much intact," as Drake apparently can't get enough of the "Right Now" singer. "He sends texts. ... He's staying in constant communication," the source added. "He knows she wants that face time, and that's what he wants as well."
