Rihanna Shuts Down Matt Barnes Claims Of Dating Her

Rihanna was not happy with Matt Barnes after the NBA player implied that he and the pop superstar might be an item.

On Saturday, TMZ stopped the Memphis Grizzlies forward to ask him what was up between him and the 27-year-old singer.

Though he made sure to note that the reports that they were dating were “speculation,” he did leave the door open saying, “We’re friends, and we’ll see where it goes from there.”

“Rihanna’s my friend right now, so we’ll see where it goes,” Barnes bragged to the camera crew. “I think it’s just past the crush stage, just a little bit.”

On Sunday, though, the “Bitch Better Have My Money” songstress took to Instagram to blast the baller’s insinuations to her 24.5 million followers.

Rihanna posted a freeze frame from Barnes’ interview with a series of hashtags that appeared to set the record straight: Not only is she not that into Barnes, but she’s never even met him.

“#bishwhere #thedevilisaliar #shesnotthatintoyou #shesnotintoyouatall #shesneverevenmetyou #thisactuallyhurtmyfeelings #defamationofcharacter,” she captioned the pic.

Barnes felt the need to reply to Rihanna’s claims, writing, “Hahaa wow” next to her post, E! News reported. (Rihanna has not replied as of yet.)

But just because the “FourFiveSeconds” singer doesn’t have a budding romance with Barnes hardly means she’s all alone.

She has been recently spotted with Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton on several occasions in the last few weeks — including on a trip to her home country of Barbados where they were snapped soaking up sun on a yacht and frolicking at the island’s Kadooment Day parade.

Hamilton previously dated pop singer Nicole Scherzinger.

Just because she let you hit doesn't mean it's yours …...
