There may apparently be a new love triangle in the music and sports world. With Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton having been sighted several times together in various places, NBA star Matt Barnes has included himself in the mix of dating rumors.

As reported by TMZ, RiRi and Hamilton both went to Griffin's in New York albeit separately. The move was reportedly a repeat of how they both arrived separately at 1OAK on Tuesday while both donning matching outfits. According to E! Online though, the racer arrived at Griffin first but waited for RiRi to enter the club before quickly following.

But while Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton have yet to confirm the truth into the dating rumors, NBA Star Matt Barnes has gotten himself into the mix earning the ire of the singer.

In an interview with TMZ, Barnes said he and Riri may become more than just friends.

"Rihanna is my friend right now, so we'll see where it goes," he pointed out. "It just passed the crush stage a little bit."

RiRi apparently did not like the insinuation at all and took to social media to slam the basketball player as told by Mail Online.

She posted a screenshot of Barnes' TMZ interview to express how the statement affected her and then put a bunch of hashtags such as "#bishwhere #thedevilisaliar  #shesnotthatintoyou #shesnotintoyouatall #shesneverevenmetyou #thisactuallyhurtmyfeelings #defamationofcharacter."

Barnes though was not fazed and allegedly commented on the post "Hahaa wow."

Prior to rumors of dating the Formula One and the NBA star, RiRi was also reported to be going out with footballer Karim Benzema.

An E! Online put though last week, RiRi only reportedly has her eyes set on one man.

"Karim is fading out and it looks like Rihanna has only one guy on her mind, and that's Lewis," an insider told the website about Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton even before Matt Barnes entered the mix. "She is taking it very slow and just having fun, but she likes who he is and what he is about."
