Female lyricists have shattered the glass ceiling in the music industry — but they didn't throw
every tradition to the wind. While they may be spitting rhymes on tour, each of these ladies
is going home to her other half. Here are the rappers who nabbed some good-lookin' hubbies.
Remy Ma and rapper Papoose met through a mutual friend who set them up to make a track together, according to BUILD. Papoose has
been huge in the rap world since the late '90s, when he made his official debut on Kool G Rap's
Roots of Evil album. By 2006, he was signed to Jive Records in a deal worth $1.5 million.
In July 2020, Papoose revealed that he and Ma had a second baby on the way.
Speaking on quarantining with family, he told Out Loud with Claudia Jordan,
"I love being with my family, you know what I'm
saying. I get to spend so much time with my amazing wife and my amazing daughter."
According to People magazine, the couple tied the knot prior to Ma's six-year stint in jail.
Rapper Jean Grae and husband Quelle Chris have a deep history in the music business.
Chris launched his solo career in 2011, after producing on Danny Brown's earlier albums.
But in 2018, sparks flew in the studio when the long-time lovers collaborated
on the album Everything's Fine. Chris told NPR of their creative partnership,
"[It's] kinda like the samurai flicks where you travel and you see someone jumping across some
logs on the river, and you're like, 'Hey, that's kinda dope. You wanna join me on this mission?'"
"Once I start something in general, I'm like,
'We'll see what happens. You guys enjoy it? Cool.'"
The couple made it official when they married in August 2018.
Roxanne Shante
Roxanne Shante is the OG when it comes to female artists in the rap game.
She got her start on Mr. Magic's Rap Attack when she was just 14, in 1984, according to Billboard.
She then endured some serious ups and downs throughout her career,
all showcased in the 2018 Netflix biopic Roxanne, Roxanne.
Shante revealed to Vlad TV that her husband, Jabbar Ali , is a retired boxer. While she
didn't go into further detail, Ali's Facebook reveals that he's an advocate for equality and
a proud supporter of his wife. And, according to photos, the couple looks truly happy together.
Rasheeda has been making waves in the rap scene for years — but so has her husband,
Kirk Frost. Still, the two aren't just all about music.
In 2019, they joined forces to open a restaurant in Atlanta called Frost Bistro. The couple married
in 1999 and despite being put through the ringer together, they've come out stronger than ever.
“You wasn't thinkin' about me, you wasn't thinkin' about Carter…”
“I love you, I love my family.”
"No you don't."
After Frost admitted to having an affair, on Love & Hip-Hop, Rasheeda later told Essence,
"The road can get really, really rough.
You have to communicate and figure out a way to make sure you're taking care of each other."
Cardi B
Cardi B secretly married Offset in 2017. As one half of the rap power couple, Offset is most
well known for his work with Migos , and has been nominated for multiple Grammys since he launched
his career in the 2000s. But his real taste of fame came in 2013, with the release of "Versace ."
"When I met him, I told him, 'I don't date rappers.'"
But while they are reportedly together as husband and wife as of late 2020,
these two are no strangers to breaking up and making up. Cardi explained to Elle,
"My relationship has a lot of drama and everything. But there's a lot of love, there's a
lot of passion, there's a lot of trust, there's a big friendship. It's always us against the world."
Offset addressed his past infidelity, once telling The Breakfast Club,
"That one mistake made me appreciate [Cardi]."
Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in September 2020, according to Hollywood Unlocked,
but a month later, she said they were back together. She shared on Instagram,
"It's hard not to talk to your best friend."
Nicki Minaj began her love story with Kenneth Petty back in high school. And when their paths
crossed years later, the couple tied the knot in 2019. Minaj told Young Money Radio,
"When you have someone that feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you,
it just makes you feel like you're on top of the world."
Petty's preferred name is "Zoo," a childhood nickname that stuck with him,
according to Billboard. But he also has a storied criminal past. According to People, he pleaded
guilty to and was convicted of attempted assault and manslaughter in 1995 and 2002.
On a happier note, in October 2020, Minaj and Petty welcomed their first child, a baby boy.
Eve and her husband, British mogul, Maximillion Cooper, tied the knot back in 2014. Cooper
has been a race car driver, film producer and director, and entrepreneur. But his most notable
accomplishment is founding the Gumball 3000 car rally, which took off after its inception in 1999.
Cooper, who is worth a cool $50 million, has four children from his previous marriage.
But just like every relationship requires, these two put in the work on the tough stuff.
On The Talk in June 2020, Eve discussed the intense
conversations she and Cooper have had about race, adding,
"I don't know his life through his eyes. He doesn't know my life through my eyes.
All he can do is try to understand and try to ask the questions."
"This lockdown, for us, like for everyone, we've gotten to know each other I think in
a whole new way, in a different way. I think we've fallen in love even more."
