With so many celebrity relationships falling apart daily, it’s inspiring to see couples who unselfishly honor their vows. Aisha Atkins and Ja Rule‘s marriage has withstood the test of time. It is rare for a rapper to stay in a longterm marriage with so many opportunistic groupies lurking.

Ja Rule and Aisha are happily married because they are equally yoked. The couple attended the City Harvest’s 23rd Annual Evening Of Practical Magic at Cipriani 42nd Street on Tuesday, April 25, in New York City. The couple has three children together.

Can we get a post on the Aretha/Dionne beef? That ish is hilarious lol.
“She said, ‘Give me a hug.’ I said, ‘Oh hell no. You couldn’t be serious,’” Franklin recalled.
Despite the tension, Franklin doesn’t want an apology. “At this point it isn’t about an apology, it’s about libel,” she said.
“We’ve never been friends,” Franklin added. “And I don’t think that Dionne has ever liked me.”
Meanwhile, Warwick refused to “dignify” Franklin’s comments with a response.
Ja Rule and Aisha are happily married because they are equally yoked
__________
um yeah *scratches head* Ja looks like Cato from Undergound in this pic
This is why I like Ru. He knows he a man and puts on the wig, dress and heels to pay the bills. He doesn’t lie to himself fronting like he a real woman.
Next time hopefully Cube and his wife Kim attend. Im personally not here for Jeff and Aisha as a goal for sh%it
Unselfishly followed their vows??!! I guess that whole Superhead and Ja Rule situation was what?
wait lol Dionne is Whitney’s cousin and Aretha is her Godmother right? They’ve never been friends?!?!?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/17837ace3e53cdf08e81df93948bf910647220d26311351764cf01138184b1ea.gif
If Rupaul is 6’4 his hubby gotta be almost a 7 footer
I feel shamed—I thought Dionne was dead. When I read this somewhere else, I was like- why Retha arguing with a dead woman?
LMshamefulBO
Ja Rule slimmed down.
In January on a Xander Cage movie opening post, you called Mrs. Kim Cube Jackson long suffering. But today, Aisha and her fu#@ked ass hairline is goals.
Everyone looks nice except for the two dudes holding hands….
Shyt I still maintain to this day…if O’shea did dirt, he buried it deep and far, and made sure whoever it was STFU forever. Maybe I missed the dirt on him……
So happy for Everyone except for RuPaul and his dude.
He’s still with her cause once he went to prison , and Murder Inc. fell off, it was a wrap. His groupies were on to the next!
Even if he did some, it was not on level of Ja’s. Or as public. I would take Snoop and Shaunte over those two above.
Thats what the beef is about lol. Aretha is mad that Dionne called her Whitney’s Godmother at the funeral because she has never been Whitney’s Godmother. I don’t think Aretha ever really cared for Whitney. Its sad that Aretha waited 5 years to bring this up.
LMFAOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! U a fool lol
Not true if Crackhead Earl can still pull chicks so canJa.
I am ESPECIALLY happy for RuPaul and his husband. Divas need love too!
O’shay loyal. Sandra just like ratchet couples like Clifford and them.
Correct. Cissy said Darlene Love was the godmother. Now, not sure if Ree disliked Whitney. Her and Cissy close. Remember Aretha broke her out of the senior center for her to sing back up for her few years ago. Adele song I recall. When Cissy was looking like she was wandering did she turn her greens off
Damn, Aretha, you too damn old to be holding grudges. Leave it in 1962.
I really thought Leslie Odom was ghey in real life.
-I thought Dionne was dead. …..

That was harsh meanwhile they relax on 6 acres and your probably in a small room at your moms crib because that’s as far hate will allow you to go.
?????
Damn….
Wasn’t necessary, Dude. Some things you just nignore
Not saying he can’t still pull groupies , but his celebrity decreased significantly once things went down hill. His wife held him down in prison, as he saw no one else would do. So maybe he feels obligated to be a better husband, no one knows what he is doing in the dark! Bottom line he’s an adulterer, Crackhead Earl is an adulterer, and I would assume 99% of men in the entertainment industry are, it’s designed to tempt them .
Wow that went all the way left…okay.
I personally know a stripper who slept with Mr. Cube. I watched her climb into his limousine and leave with him. Mind you, she rode with me to the club. The next morning, she called me whispering that she could easily rob him because he carelessly left his wallet and jewelry on the nightstand. But she was a good, clean, wholesome girl who didn’t steal. I’m sure if Google you will find similar stories about him.
LAWD!!! CTHU
CTHU- Dis Part- But she was a good, clean, wholesome girl who didn’t steal
But the heffa jumped into limos with folks for one night stands!!
I said I am shamed!! LOL
OAN by the way….my house is 3400 square feet and i live on 1 and a half acres. Just so you know. BRUH
, it’s designed to tempt them …..
That is true. That is how they managers and ? get out of paying by making sure those groupies use and abuse them why they rob them blind.
I am already Shamed, don’t add fool to it!! LMBO
Truth!
Well I dont have to Google Ja’s story. I read the book and Aisha long suffering behind confirmed it.
She was an honest hoe?
I hate those NationWide commercials. Something about his mouth irks me. The way he holds his mouth when he sings. Same thing with Rachel Ferrell, OMG such a great voice that was made for radio ONLY.
Negro its the internet you could live in a mansion in the sky on these boards. Still hating for no reason.
i can be happy and NOT happy for whomever i want negro. That is all.
That reminds me of Della in Harlem Nights. ????
Why Gogguh- when you got a whole book?!
So did I! Getting someone pregnant doesn’t mean he isn’t, maybe he just wanted a biological child!
In a dee lux apartment in the sky?
Truly crying. Hard
Omg ! I thought it was just me, everytime it comes on I cringe!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2d3fc5fe9b7423cca6fc4e037973d0d80fa15d02c8fcfbfd2bb7fc0babb8d5c0.jpg
You can be, your right! And I can call you a hater, you probally either wanna be rupauls man or Rupaul..lol
As you should.
Sandy I Googled Ice Cube and affairs, Ice Cube and side chick, O’Shea Jackson affairs and only got stuff about his long standing marriage and how they make it work.
Help me out here.
Oh yea that was good one.
Yo!!! Log off!!
She has the words of an honest hoe as proof, what more do you want????????
Oh yeah….you gay or straight? Got kids? If so, they grown? What is your FICO? You want a occasional “girlfriend”? Asking for a friend. LOL
CTHU…..oh yeah!! Fukk Googuh….honest hoes are Actual Factuals!!
They cutting up today. I am half dead on this one post.?????
I always liked Ja. Maybe not the type to buy his albums but always wanted him to win.
Now why Rupaul and his BF remind me of the movie Holiday Heart when his gay friend left for the Midwest with his Yt rancher lover..Lol
Viola you rock in that purple! #fireflametoyourwig
JaRule’s wife looks very dated in the face and her teeth are drastically stained.
Where is Slim? I want his opinion on honest hoes.???
Fukk Man!!!
He is listed as couple goals so he kinda winning…No?! CTHU
True this guy I used to work with is married to a woman with three kids and is gay and the wife knows and does not care.
They vortexes are pure and unpolluted, as their honest combats any and all negative vibrations that potential soul ties will create…..blah blah blah
Why do Ja and Aisha look like wax figures up there?? First I thought it was her horrible make-up then I looked at Jeffery. I used to catch their reality show sometimes…they’re a cute family
Leslie Odom?????
I thought one those dudes died at the end.
One of the Greenleaf episodes was named Veni Vidi Vici. I immediately was like that is a Ja album as well lol. I actually was a big fan of his musically.
??
I can’t help but like the little toadstool. Yes it was I thought the same lol
I agree this was a time for her to rock that twist out..she looks fab otherwise…Jeffery’s wife is prettier to me without the makeup
?? no
Things I learnt tuhday:
1. Women CANNOT spread HIV, it is strictly for gay/bi folks…..however in a study 20% of a group of women did indeed spread it.
2. Ja Rule and his non-suffering wife are couple goals- public affairs be damned.
3. Dionne Warwick is alive and Retha ain’t arguing with a dead woman.
4. If you are a hoe, but won’t steal..you are an honest hoe and therefore anything you say is Actual Factuals, no Google necessary to confirm it.
5. If you are a husband who cheats, as long as your wife is okay with confirming it…y’all are couple goals.
6. One of the posters on here lives in a deluxe mansion in the sky- they done moved on up.
7. Oh and Aaron Hernandez bestie was a damn snitch!!
Goes back to gain more Blog Knowledge, which can’t be used anywhere else.
You mean this performance? LOL https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e0424d154743df1e64be6e6bad537b4254c49cd56592175b805ddce2426ea020.gif
Real cute World real cute lol
She didn’t twist and slept with no scarf last night. Wig was the best option ?
Congratulations to them all! They all look great!
Whisper answers bc I can barley talk. Too busy crying softly.
Yes
Sister to Sister magazine her long suffering self used to tell Ms. Brown everything.
Not twisting and no scarf is catastrophic to some.
Aisha and Ja relationship goals I’d think not. In his hey he was a trip.
Thank you, I try!! Except when I ain’t trying. LOL
WHHHHYYYYYY!!!
Damn
Just checking lol
That and he doesn’t sound good to me. Yeah, everything about that commercial irks me.
Yeah, it doesn’t mean anything. But, I thought he was openly ghey. He seems really ghey.
It needed to be said.
A real life BrokeBack Mountain?
3. Wait. Wait. Did Aretha say that she wasn’t arguing with a dead woman? Lord, this makes me want to go re-watch the Got 2 Be Real series on YT.
A black man that married a black woman and you black woman clown her saying she ugly and whatever cant please black women for nothing
INTERESTING!
Nope! You are not alone.
All I said about her apperace is she need some Jamacian Black Castor Oil on her see through ass edges
He does not sound good, he doesn’t look good. Them faces he makes, those long teeth. It’s just a “no” for me. LOL.
I have a question about hoe-ism? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8092c9a7901695bbd2ad1ee271ab88cf89c01c069c36801f066461598b6452f3.jpg
The crackhead mother died not Ving Rhames character or the gay friend that ran off with the YT rancher.
So Ru tucks his boobs when he dresses a man and tuck his Dyck when he dresses as a man huh…
Since when women can’t spead HIV????
U are crazy!!!??
An honest whore is so sew tso hard to find???
I like Viola Davis. I’ll say again about dark women, my sister included. I often wonder how do they feel about being dark complexion. I know most people don’t care for dark women and treat them differently, facts. Folks can deny it all they want, but dark women aren’t on the same pedestal as many other women. Talk about having to love the skin you’re in cuz aint schit you can do about it.
She needs big hair to go with that big face and big mouth ?
I know cause I do
Well, I’m just gonna commend the brother for wearing that easter blue suit after the holiday has ended. Kudos to you boo.
Lol
Viola looks vibrant in purple, wonderful color for her lovely skin tone am just not sure about that wig. I like me some Mama Ru but sick of her blonde wigs ,platinum colored wigs, white wigs and the like, bitch you ain’t Mae West .
LOL
chile… Aisha and Irv Gotti’s wife were LONG SUFFERING. I am not sure if Irv’s wife left just yet but….she over due
Cissy forgot the words and said fcuk it …stillllll funny
Ja Rule and his wife look happy. Good luck to them.
Nope, I thought Dionne was dead (shame face), so I was wondering why Retha was arguing with/about her. LOL
Viola and em have too much money for the bad wigs… she prefers her natural hair so all she really gotta do is get OOOONE good wig made and just keep it on retainer.
Since TUH-Day
I try!! LOL
That or Charity/Outreach Program
Who said any of these ladies were ugly?You can be a glamor doll, and still have no edges.
#IAmNotMyHair #NorMyLackOfEdges
Her hair is what happens when folks use Shea Moisture products! CTHU
I personally am not a major fan of my light skin…..I think some of the most beautiful women are medium to deep dark brown and the kinkier the hair- the more their beauty shines to me.
I get jealous of the women who can rock an amazing, thick and coily afro, or those who when their hair is braided it sits like ropes…….Yes, those are beautiful things to me.
Oh ok I didn’t even know!!!! ???????????
I often wonder the same thing. Even without knowing I feel that I can empathize but I also know that I really have no real idea how it feels for a deep brown sista. I cheer the hardest and loudest for our beauty acceptance of self… It’s hard out here for a Black woman.
Mm hmm true dat lol
Pretty much news to the entire population.
I always liked them as a couple. She definitely stood the test of time. im glad he finally settled down, committed and loyal. and she a pretty girl don’t need all of that ugly make up *ijs*
I agree with you on the complexion (my hair is definitely a kinky afro crown). Up until a few years ago I legit swore to death that I was “brown skin”. I know now that it was just an insecurity that I wasn’t addressing about how I felt about my complexion and the favor I often experienced. I’m not crying about it ? but it just let me know that my (mental/social) conditioning is being conditioned and I had to break free.
Yes I remember what they went through.
Amen
Her natural be EVERYTHING! You hear me!
Her TWA (teeny weenie afro) works nice too!
Most women are……..sometimes. LOL
I mean….. :ye shrug:
You could watch Dark Girls. It’s a documentary. It’s not all doom and gloom for dark skin girls, but the doc shows that side.
Oh. Its been so long since I have seen that movie. It was a one and done for me.
You must be remember the old :ye shrug……cause this cardboard cutout that they carry around and have Kimberly pose with ain’t shrugging.
All I could think about was Got to be Real The Diva Variety Show on YouTube lol….They definitely got it right with these ladies.
you make me laugh, you’re funny!
yep, there were many times I wished I were darker. I see a dark guy and would have envy. People wouldn’t believe it, but it’s true. I do have curly hair that I started growing out.
Ja Rule’s wife is a better woman than me. There’s no way in h3ll I would’ve stayed with a ninja that slept with someone nicknamed Superhead and there’s no way he would’ve lived long enough to have a chance to reminisce about it. Congratulations to them though.
I’m trying to figure out how are they “goals”, and I’m dumbfounded ?
But hey to each their own I guess ?
I said the same thing lol… Hatereatha got some splaining to do lol.
Ja Rule and his wife looks happy and in love still. Viola is WINNING! Case closed. Ru Paul and his hubby look like their not used to public appearances yet. That’s all for this post.
Aisha is one of those long suffering wives u speak of “Sandra” ? Ja’s not poppin any more so hes slowed down alot !! so now hes all hers !! never heard of Leslie Odom but his wife is really pretty.
Rich white men seem to prefer dark-skinned black women for dating or marrying. Always found that interesting compared to even the brokest black men wanting anyone but a dark-skinned woman. Self hate maybe?
Ja Rule didn’t unselfishly honour his vows.
Shieeet! Lol she jus stood there lol but he was out there
Photo goals lol
I love Got2BReal! The funniest show on Youtube lol.
I wonder if RuPaul lover dress up In drag too. Now sissy that walk!!!!! ??????
Auntie, can we get a body language write up on Ru Paul and his bew?
I guess it’s better than getting a job!
Ja Rule’s wife looks scared and confused.
Exactly! He’s no role model.
And if Viola wasn’t famous some people wouldn’t have nice things to say about her either. Let’s not forget about Baby Mama Serena Williams. Black folks are still color conscious/struck.
I’m surprise Sandra didn’t say Ja Rule and his long suffering wife Aisha
Looking at your picture…do you consider yourself to be light?? IMO beauty comes in ALL shades so anyone who has a problem with a persons shade of skin has issues. I’m about your color and I LOVE when I tan and get darker…my skin tone has a reddish tone to it’s darkness and I glow just like Viola is up top BEAUTIFUL. My sister is dark like Viola and is absolutely gorgeous…so is my niece…and my mother who is also on the darker side. They’ve never expressed any insecurities about their skin color. Yes people tease but guess what they will tease about ANYTHING so why should a person with dark skin feel some type of way because of other peoples ignorance??
I don’t care about her fame but I respect her drive and ambition which brought her to us in that capacity. I think she’s pretty regardless and her personality just makes her even more attractive
They look like they have rough sex ?
Ja rule looks like a squirrel and racoon in a suit.
Damn rupaul is ugly he need to put his wig back on. I guess when all a guy do is swallow semen he began to look like a nut.
Since i went natural I don’t care much for bone straight hair anymore ?
Viola Davis and husband look great. They look like a piece of chocolate that I want to eat. I wonder y the couple don’t have kids of they own.
That’s not true. I know plenty of dark skin women like viola Davis that get a lot of play don’t let white media lie to u and make things seem like that.
Hmm…I always thought more of a mole rat…but you’re pretty on point too
Ja Rule and wife- both ugly. Viola and husband KING AND QUEEN.
RuPaul has the HIV.
A chipmunk
Lmfao.

What kind of review did she give him ?
My thoughts just a few days ago. I accept my skin but am not a fan.. and many may not believe it. I have been called racially ambiguous more than once. My envy for my more heavily melanated sistas is rooted in admiration. Breaks my heart when I see some of them struggle with the skin they’re in or have a problem with me without provacation. I already know what it is… if many only understood how deep and untouchable their beauty is.
Well Dayum!!! Lol
#dead
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!
I LOVE ME SOME ALVIN!!!
Lort help me but Ja Rule’s wife is one ugly mofo
She definitely looks…. something!!! Lol
How come Ja Rule’s wife didn’t get the infamous “long suffering” title? We know his history.
Kind of gives us an understanding as to why she is still around… Who else wants…. (interrupts myself) SHUT UP GAH!!!!!!!!!!
I know that some black folks are still color conscious. The white media is washing out dark, brown skin women for the biracial women. Have you noticed? Look at the commercials you rarely see a dark skin woman/man together. Y’all said you wanted inclusion there you go. What’s that saying be careful want you ask for.
True.
U right!
Lol
Right? Ms. ?is going to just ignore the Ashanti years like they didn’t happen?
RuPaul found someone taller than him? And Viola looks gorgeous, I just hate her choice of headwear…
And I bet you are just picture perfect.
Post your picture, and let us judge you. I’ll wait…
Ashanti was fukkin irv gotti not ja rule tho
I love Viola. Ja Rule was cheating on his wife with Superhead and the world knows it. That’s one man I wouldn’t have stood by.
When you say “most people don’t care for dark women”, who are you referring to? If only looking through the eyes of some black people (black men?) or the media, yes. But if she exposes herself to the global community, there is more than enough love, appreciation and admiration. The problem is, a lot of women drink the poison koolaid and project that colorism issue into their interactions with the global community. If only they would step outside of their comfort zone and seek/create enviroments where they are celebrated, appreciated and not just tolerated….ijs
**** THIS
Good points.
not me in the pic, but I am brown complexion too.
No, you’re right. Your comment is definitely to my point of what, in general, dark complexion women endure. You’re right, I think majority find good things to say about Viola because she’s famous.
Go head Rupaul! that tall glass of milk ? Rancher is serving broke back mountain realness ?
? u went there
Meant when they made “beautiful music” together, sorry. And I’m more than certain he had some of her as well….
Globally black people in general are the most disrespected group of people in the world. Some of us have caught a plane and traveled the globe to see how other black folks live all over the world and it makes us cry. It not just being around black women exclusively in your inner circle in the US. Stop assuming folks haven’t lived outside of their zone when they make a statement like that.
Ha! No World…Not a mansion in the sky YET!…but I live comfortably by the Grace of God and i have zero reason to hate on a drag queen when I’m a beautiful black woman who happens to know WHO and WHOSE i am! #noembellishment #blessed #prayingforthegenderconfused #imahelpernotahater
Love to see ppl in love ?
Please read the original comment, then reread my response……For the record I wasn’t assuming anything……The purpose of my reply was to question who he was referencing with the statement “most people don’t care for DARK WOMEN”. As I stated above, if women are seeing their dark complexion through the context of the media or other black people, ESPCIALLY and UNFORTUNATELY some of our men, then yes, It appears that “Most people don’t care for “DARK WOMEN”….As a result, many of us ASSUME others feel the same way…BUT if we step outside of our comfort zone and seek/create environments (In the Global community) we may just be surprised……AND Global IS not referring to only black people BTW. I say all of this from actually living in the skin as a “Dark woman” who has explored the global community……
Hey lady! How are you?
I see when black gay men get their coins up they go white too lol ?
Alright Georges now…get those ranch coins boo
Wow he has to be about 7 feet because Rupaul is tall as I know what!
I was thinking both of those things, are you in my head?!
I have always embraced and loved my dark skin. I get a lot of compliments. I got one negative comment from an older black man,” he said to me ” a woman my color could ‘not do anything for him”. I almost with there with him. I wrote him off as ignorant. We come in different hues of blackness, that is the beauty of our people
Lmfao.
Ru Paul does not have HIV but he does donate time and money to meals on wheels which was started by the gay community during the AIDS epidemic.
I’m surprised she didn’t add “long-suffering wife” like she usually does.
Took the words out of my mouth
Aren’t you close to your sister? Why don’t you ask her? Does she have an inferiority complex?
I feel the way u do about ppl in love
and tight Relationships.
Ain’t that the truth.
Yep
Yeah, they’re together but like most rappers, he indulged day in and out with groupies, lol. He did a show (after 50 disemboweled him on wax) at a college an acquaintance of mine attended. He was flirting and fuking everything in site after the show….including her.
Beautiful couples! They are together, because she allowed him to be a dog. SMH!
Jah’s wife got some good edges. Colors look so good against Viola’s skin!
I had a friend who was the same complexion as Viola and she was universally acknowledged as beautiful. Occasionally folks would go overboard in complimenting her as though they couldn’t contain their own surprise that they saw beauty in a very dark skinned woman. After a lifetime of dealing with that, my friend got to a place where she couldn’t receive a compliment on her looks graciously. She always regarded every nice thing said as “you’re really pretty…for a dark black girl” no matter how sincere or how it was phrased. Ultimately, it was her dark skin that made her insecure even though she knew, and was always told, that she was beautiful. Sad.
In all our years, she has NEVER mentioned it as an issue. You know how Mo’Nique was fat and full of confidence? Minus the fat, that’s my sister, full of confidence. She’s verrrryyyyy photogenic. I’ve said that since the beginning of time – she takes the best pic while me, the focus is off and I need trick lighting. But I wouldn’t ask because she really seems ok or at least no complex about it at least.
i knew i kept looking like “something ain’t right”. i ain’t never seen ru looking like he’s 5 feet tall.
and on 6,000 acres, nobody around to hear ru hollering lol
if memory serves me correctly, i think aisha and ja been kicking it like they were 13 or something? she ain’t going nowhere.
If I can remember correctly Ja was smashing Superhead to smithereens in her heyday?
Lmbo
Ice cube and method man have both been married for many years too.
The nerve of him! I have never been outright disrespected like that but I know all too well about the ignorance of colorism
Luck girl for being photogenic… I am not!!! I can take 50 photos and 1 will be meh ok it’ll have to do lol. So would you say you are one of those people who treats dark skinned women differently? Jus as an aside I remember Kenya saying she had a light skinned friend who had a weave and everyone thought it was her own friend meanwhile for Kenya they doubted her!
I treat everybody the same. I actually don’t go above and beyond or overcompensate either. HA yeah Kenya Moore’s been around for a minute and I always thought she’s a beautiful later. One of the first few with “all that hair” and it was all hers.
Hey dear. Im well hru??
Lol
Truth
I’m good!
