Rihanna lit up the stage during Sunday's (Feb. 20) NBA All-Star Game halftime show bringing both Drake and Kanye West along for the ride.

Presented by American Express, the Bajan beauty, scantily clad in a glittery bustier and short black fringe skirt, ran through her hits 'Umbrella,' 'Rude Boy' and 'Only Girl (In the World)' before Drizzy hit the stage to drop his verse on 'What's My Name.' Similar to past performances, the former couple teased one another on stage, only further instilling rumors that they may have gotten back together.

While the crowd was preoccupied by the singer, her band and a plethora of dancers, West snuck his way to the backstage area, emerging onto the stage in a cloud of smoke. The twosome jumped right into 'All of the Lights' as the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and Diddy watched from their seats. True to form, Yeezy never missed a beat rocking an all red outfit and three gold chains.

In the past few weeks, Rihanna has been hitting the stage from one country to another, recently returning from the U.K., where she performed at the Brit Awards. The 23-year-old also celebrated her birthday yesterday, which the announcer noted over the loud speaker as she made it back to her courtside seat. The 60th Annual All-Star Game, brought an end to a slew of events leading up to the battle between the Western and Eastern Conference players. The West trumped the East in a 148-143 defeat, with Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant taking home the MVP award.
