Who are the hottest girlfriends and wives of hip-hop and R&B stars? The Boombox ranks the top 10 baddest chicks who made your favorite rappers and singers fall in love
When it comes to the music industry there's no shortage of beautiful women. From the videos sets to the parties and after-parties gorgeous, exotic women are always nearby
But our favorite rappers and crooner can't be seen with just any dime—they go for the best of the best. While looks sit at the top of every man's list, a 36-24-26 frame only goes so far–a trophy chick is one thing but a real wifey is another
From Miguel to A$AP Rocky, music's top male performers have locked down some bad chicks to stand by their side who're more than just small waists and pretty faces but often times bosses in their own right. Ladies like Naya Rivera, Paula Patton and, of course, Beyoncé raise the stock of their celebrity beaus just by standing next to them
10: Naya Rivera
Big Sean's girlfriend and Valencia, CA native Naya Rivera has made her stake in Hollywood, but it's not just the G.O.O.D. Music rapper that makes her a household name. The German, Puerto Rican and and African-American singer/actress made her way onto the set of Fox's 'Glee' as a high school cheerleader named Santana Lopez. Her long, dark hair, vivacious smile and bubbly personality has kept her on the show since 2009, and helped her land a spot in the recent M&M's commercial featured during the Super Bowl XLVII. Naya clearly likes chocolate!
9: Amber Rose
There's no question that Amber Rose is every man's dream MILF. The Philly-born model-turned-socialite broke the long-hair-equals-beautiful stereotype when she stepped off the stage and onto the beach with Kanye West with her blonde buzz cut—a look not many can pull off. Now married Wiz Khalifa, the five-foot eight-inch face of Smirnoff is showing men (and women) everywhere how MILFs earned their title—it's all about the twerk
8: Alicia Keys
You may not have known her name when she first appeared singing in Harlem diners, but when Alicia Keys became love's super hero rocking a shimmery, purple unitard in her 'Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart' music video, there were no questions about the caramel beauty from Uptown, New York. Knowing music was everything to her, Keys wound up saying, "I do" to her pa**ion by tying the knot with super producer Swizz Beatz, and now she's a 'Girl On Fire' with a Reebok shoe line and bringing awareness to the fight against AIDS and HIV
7: Ciara
Ciara had no problem sharing her 'Goodies' or showing men how a real woman likes to 'Ride,' so it's no surprise that she's throwing her man Future a private 'Body Party' on the the regular. The Epic Records performer has moves that make men wish their woman could slide and bounce across the floor the way Cici does. In other words, don't you just love the way she rides it?
6: Nazanin Mandi
Nazanin Mandi has been glued to Miguel's arm for quite some time now. At this point, there's usually not one without the other. From Tumblr to Instagram, the Hollywood couple has no qualms when it comes to sharing their love with the public, and who wouldn't want to share a relationship when the girlfriend is an exotic beauty with a long list of modeling credentials. With a number of national campaigns floating around, it's hard to believe Mandi still had time to pose her way into Miguel's heart. There's nothing quick about these two because their relationship is clearly a sure thing
5: Eudoxie
It's been more than three years, and Ludacris is still walking around with one of the baddest chicks on his arm. Born in Gabon, Africa, the 26-year-old caramel hottie made her way to the U.S. and found herself attending medical school at the University of Miami. So for those who think she found herself on a come up, think again. Eudoxie's got the brains and clearly the beauty. Luda just adds to her glamour
4: Chanel Iman
From the Italian runways to the cover of ‘Vouge,' Chanel Iman traveled the world before she turned 21. Now, at 22, and one of the select faces of Victoria's Secret, the Korean and African-American model is traveling hand-in-hand with Harlem MC A$AP Rocky. With Anna Wintour's “it” girl by his side, Rocky better be sure not to cause any f-ckin' problems because Chanel's one you want to take on home to momma!
3: Ca**ie
A rare blend of Filipino, Mexican and African-American heritage, Ca**ie Ventura is an exotic and noticeable face in any room. She may be Puff's girl these days, but before she became the Bad Boy mogul's leading lady Ca**ie was busy cutting singles and dancing her way around Tinseltown. Now, it's the 27 year old's fashion sense that makes her stand out. Rocking a partly-shaven head with flowing locks keeps Diddy's chick on every blog's radar, and her toned body makes everyone do a double take when she walks by
2: Paula Patton
With a natural glow and extreme s** appeal, Paula Patton could have any man she wants, but since attending L.A.'s Hamilton High School there's only been one man for her--Robin Thicke. An actress by day and mother and wife by night, the California-bred film star epitomizes the dream woman. And let's not get started on her dimples. She's a Hollywood beauty with a knack for the big screen, so Robin, take care of home because there's a line of men that would your job!
1: Beyoncé
When it comes to women on top, there can only be one queen. Known as Queen Beyoncé, and King Bey to some, Jay Z's wife of five years is one of the most successful performers of all time. Named as one of Time 100's 'Most Influential People This Year, Mrs. Carter has proved she has plenty to offer beyond than a 5' 6” frame and a cute face. Raised with an African-American, French and Native American heritage, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter never stops finding ways to define beauty
