J Lo and P Diddy
It seems like a lifetime ago... But once upon a time, this planet had a king and a queen and their regal names were Jenny from the Block and Puff Daddy a.k.a. Sean Combs a.k.a. P Diddy.
My grandfather once asked me if Puff Daddy was still alive. I said yes. Then he whispered “but what about P Diddy?” and we all laughed. You see, once Jenny and Diddy parted way they both kinda dipped.
I mean, I guess it is understandable. Their stars couldn’t shine so bright forever, right? But it sure it good to reminisce! Who can forget Jen in that now infamous velour tracksuit singing “I’m real”? Or Puffy’s debut album, Forever? Things got a bit weird following their spilt (see: Bennifer) but like Dr. Seuss says, “Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.”
Destiny’s Child
Now I know. I know okay. This isn’t technically a couple. There were four and then there were three and then there were two... Okay not really two, but the world cottoned on to the fact that Michelle was like the keen side-chick and so there were only really, really two members: Bey and Kelly.
But we still miss them, no matter how many members there were, there will never be another “Bills, Bills, Bills” or “Say My Name”.
“Survivor” will forever be the anthem of drunken sing-a-longs and “Independent Woman” personally changed my life.
Rihanna and Drake
For no reason other than the fact that it probably made that jackass, Breezy hella mad to think that his former bae was doing the dirty with the so-called “softest rapper” in the game.
Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean
Before prison. Before that half-assed unplugged album. Before Wyclef even hummed “Hips Don’t Lie”... There was The Fugees and the world was a better place. Lauryn and Wyclef dated and the music was ah-mazing. Tell me who does not love “Killing Me Softly”?
Then their love started to resemble a wild episode of Generations and The Fugees were no more. So maybe, just maybe, if they had kept their love strong and took one for the team, you and I would be listening to The Fugees’ new album right now. Alas, we’ll just have to listen to Miseducations one more time...
So there you have it, the complete list of people who should be together solely for our entertainment.
