Rihanna and Kanye West an item?

Not known for restraint when it comes to boosting her career prospects, Rihanna’s clearly making some friends to help further her climb. The R&B star was spied leaving the New York apartment of Kanye West this weekend, in yet another eye-catching – and clearly expensive — new gown.

Fans gathered outside were delighted by the big-ticket black and white strapless creation, but Rihanna, 21, was not telling on why she was there.

And the mystery deepens – Kanye, 32, is said to have split from long-time squeeze, Amber Rose, just a few days ago, so he’s back on the market. Word is, she was playing some footsie with Philadelphia hip-hop exponent, Cassidy, and Kanye cut her loose on the spot. Now Rihanna drops by – in come-get-me couture.

A coincidence? I rather doubt it.

Both are successful, and there’s no record of Kanye ever raising a hand to his ladies, so this could be special. Keep it tuned here and we’ll keep you informed.
