Even though she is not mentioned in the track, it does seem Drake intended the words towards Rihanna in “Fireworks”:

“I could tell it wasn’t love/ I just thought you’d f—ed with me/ Who could have predicted/ Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me,” Drake raps on the song, referring to the Manhattan bowling alley where the two reportedly made out. “Damn, I kept my wits about me, luckily/ What happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me/ Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags want to cover me/ And you making it seem like it happened that way because of me.”

In a interview with the New York Times, Drake speaks on a number of topics, one including him opening up on the situation with Rihanna, which the two were rumoured in some sort of fling, love, relationship, something weird that involves that girl that boy.
“I was a pawn,” Drake told the newspaper about his time with Rihanna, which began with an invite to pen a track for the singer. “You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, ‘Wow, this feels terrible.’ ”

Can’t exactly feel sorry for you there Drake…
