Claims of their rumoured split began on Twitter, from the account of fashion influencer @LOUIS_via_ROMA, who posted a thread of tweets about the issue and alleged ASAP had cheated on RiRi.

However, a source close to the couple tells TMZ the speculation is “100% false on both counts”, adding: “1 million percent not true. They’re fine.”

ASAP is yet to publicly comment, but gossip site XXL alleged the two were spotted at a restaurant in LA where Rihanna was crying at the table before leaving alone.

Rumours of Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s split began circulating on Twitter with fashion influencer @LOUIS_via_ROMA tweeting: “Rihanna & ASAP Rocky have split. Rihanna broke up with him after she caught him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muaddi.”

The thread continued: “Amina was responsible for designing Fenty’s footwear offering and Rihanna is often seen in custom shoes from her own label. ASAP & Amin is not new though as she was seeing him years ago and also collaborated with him on a collection of shoes. Things apparently hit the fan at Craigs in LA.”

The tweets also alleged that the split happened during this year’s Paris Fashion Week, which took place between February 28 and March 8.

Besides the tweets and XXL’s report, there has been no other evidence of the couple’s split or the cheating allegations.

And with the TMZ source insisting the pair haven’t broken up, it seems this may have been overblown.

Several have pointed out that two days before the split speculation, Rihanna posted a snap of herself wearing custom shoes designed by Amina Muaddi to her Instagram.
