It's Valentine's Day, which leaves us to wonder what our favorite artists will be doing for their baes on the big day. This isn’t Love & Hip Hop, but real life love in hip-hop. Beyond the beats, rhymes, and freestyles, hip-hop culture is grounded on love and relationships. Though the lyrics, rap serves as the perfect outlet for artists to express their emotions, as well as place to store their deepest darkest secrets. From JAY-Z and Beyoncé to Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, these are our favorite hip-hop couples.
Cardi B and Offset
Offset and Cardi B's relationship has gone through plenty of ups and downs recently. As recently as Grammys 2019, though, they were on the red carpet, tongue kissing each other. And with lines like “I get up set off, I turn Offset on” and “Cartier, Cardi B brain on Offset,” it’s no wonder Cardi B stays rapping about her man in all her records.
Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka'oir
When Gucci left jail a whole 80 pounds lighter, he was a sure contender for Glow Up of the Year. But he couldn’t have done it without the support of his long-time girlfriend, Keyshia Ka'oir. Going on 8 years strong, the couple’s lavish million-dollar wedding was picked up by BET for $650K, with all expenses were paid for.
Beyonce and Jay-Z
“I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain.” This is what happens when two of music’s most powerful artists link up. In 2002, Hov and Bey tied the knot. 16 years later, and they still hail as the world’s most coveted couple. Musical collaborations such as “Crazy In Love” and “Drunk In Love” will forever remain a part of history.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
If you need convincing of Kanye and Kim’s love for another, their “Bound 2” music video may help. While Kanye prefers to avoid the limelight, Kim might be the only one able to convince him to show face on her hit show KUWTK. Now, with their personal business nationally televised, Kimye welcomes the birth of their third child, Chicago.
Remy Ma and Papoose
Married in 2008, the Remy Ma and Papoose have been supportive of each other through the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Upon Remy’s release from prison, the two took to Love & Hip Hop to show the world the true meaning of #BlackLove. Stay tuned as they look forward to the birth of their first child.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys
Tying the knot in 2010, Swizz and Alicia share a total of 16 Grammys between the two of them. If that’s not enough, they’re each other’s biggest cheerleaders. Just earlier this year, Swizz celebrated his wifey’s birthday by turning a nightclub into a skating rink with a Wu-Tang theme.
Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner
On September 22, 2017, reports came out that Kylie Jenner was pregnant with her first child, with none other than Travis Scott. The world went into a frenzy at the mere thought of another Kardashian family member being permanently tied to one of hip-hop's premier artists. On February 1, 2018, baby Stormi Webster made her debut, and one year later, she was given the most ballerific first birthday party ever. While Kylie and Travis frequently call each other "husband" and "wife," it seems that they have yet to tie the knot officially—or at least publicly. If we've learned anything from Kim and Kanye, it's that their ceremony will likely be a star-studded, and incredibly expensive, affair.
