9 Stars Who've Mixed Business With Pleasure

Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Wayne’s simulated love-making session in the video for "High School" found the close friends pushing the boundaries of their platonic relationship. It also left everyone's imaginations buzzing. Plenty of artists and actors who've worked together or shared the same label have historically turned their professional bond into a personal one. Check out a few stars who’ve ate where they slept. 

 

Cassie & Diddy

If posting pictures of each other in a bubble bath or on the beach isn’t enough proof that these two are head over heels in love, then just take a scroll down their Instagram. Signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records, Cassie gets personal and professional support from the man.

 

 

Ciara & Future

These label mates appear as soul mates from their love-full-framed Instagram snaps and statements about each other when asked their status in interviews. Future has taken a hand in Ciara’s current single “Body Party” and the Auto-Tune rapper also hopped on her remix for “Sorry.” Their “love and affection” continues to grow, but will Future get Ciara to utilize the voice-altering mic for her next single?

 

Erica Mena & Rich Dollaz

Their rocky relationship played out for everyone to see, from Rich’s tiny apartment to the studio. Honesty and trust were lacking in a premature partnership that led to Rich severing all ties with Erica in the Love And Hip-Hop season finale.

 

Biggie Smalls & Faith Evans

An example of unconditional love rocked by infidelity made fans of the fallen hip-hop legend and soulful R&B singer fight for the pair to remain an item. From appearing in music videos together (“One More Chance”) to Faith having Biggie’s junior, these two go down as one of hip-hop’s first couples.

 

Emily B. & Fabolous

After Emily B, Fab's stylist for over two years, appeared on Love & Hip Hop season 1, there were a few hiccups in her relationship with Loso. But once the cameras were shut down, the pair worked out their differences and continued their relationship. 

 

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

Did the love bug bite these actors when Angelina supposedly poisoned Brad’s dinner or when they engaged in a steamy tango during Mr. & Mrs. Smith? Nonetheless, the co-stars couldn’t fight against their love for each other and took the romance from the screen to reality. 

 

 

Kimora Lee Simmons & Russell Simmons

Two daughters aren’t the only bonds the supermodel and mogul have in common. Starting businesses together, including the Rush Card, solidified this pair's spot on power couples lists each year up until their divorce in 2008. 

 

Tamar Braxton & Vincent Herbert

If your husband managed the career of Lady Gaga, wouldn’t you retain him as your manager, too? This reality couple has put their lives in the spotlight on Braxton Family Values and now embarks on their own show, Tamar and Vince. With her solo career being widely received thanks to her hit single “Love and War,” the soon-to-be-mommy is expecting both her first child and musical stardom.

 

Jay-Z & Beyoncé

After parting ways under Matthew Knowles’ management, Beyoncé shifted her talents to Jay-Z’s management label, Roc Nation. If features on each other’s records didn’t rake in the money for both sides, a surplus is sure to come for the business of Beyoncé and Jay-Z through chart-topping singles and the worldwide Mrs. Carter Show tour.
