All Is Fair in Love and Money

"It's Funny How Money Changes A Situation"-Lauryn Hill, Lost Ones,1998

It is funny isn't it? It's funny how it takes coming into a whole lot of money for a person who started out with very little to finally start landing the bad ass chick, the pretty chicks. It's funny how fame, money and a good stylist makes people change how they see you on a scale of 1 to 10. Us as people can be so fake and so lame all at the same time. I can respect any chick or any dude that will say "I don't care how much money you throw at me, I'm still not fucking you". Apparently Lil Wayne, The-Dream or Kanye West have not a damn thing to worry about. As we saw, look where it got Jay-Z. I can agree, the majority of you that are reading this or people that I have interacted with will say "Looks don't matter" or "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I think that is a fair and noble thing to say to keep from looking like the worlds biggest jerk. When in reality you are saying in the back of your head is "If I have to put a paper bag over your head to deal with you in bed, then whats the point?". Comedian/Actress S'more had one funny skit back in the 90s "...You know you're an ugly bitch when dudes refuse to fuck you missionary style so you might as well get on in that doggystyle" That was one of my favourite early skits by her.

I guess I am question how is it that Jay-Z ended up with Beyonce. By the time Jay-Z and Beyonce began dating, Jay-Z was still on the come up, Beyonce upgraded him by being sexy, in-shape and successful. That didn't quite make him sexier, It was when people started seeing he was actually making some serious money that people men and women started riding his plank. I respect Beyonce Knowles because she got with a man that she believed in, saw his potential and stuck with him throughout the changes in his career and they are still together six years later. Can you believe it's been six years since we first saw them together? That is where I can say, their relationship is genuine, no matter how you may feel about them together or what you think of his looks vs. her looks, that is genuine and it's an actual model relationship. Step 1: Look for someone in whom you have something in common with Step 2: Realize each others potentials and come up with a plan on how you can help each other achieve your goals Step 3: Enjoy the ride



Now when it comes down to people like let's say, Lil Wayne. I have spoken to a great deal of my female colleagues and they will try to explain to me up and down with a straight face that they find Lil Wayne attractive. If you are sitting at your computer screen or mobile device with a blank stare, trust me you arent the only one, I promise. The words many of them described him as was "cute" and he got "swagga". Ain't that much swagga in the world. So now to reference S'more, do you let him hit doggy-style because you can't stand to look at HIS face? Ladies, you gotta help me out here because I'm not quite comprehending what you find to be attractive, sexy or cute. By the way, if you consider your boyfriend a "cutie" he's automatically suspect or too young. No grown ass man that you get involved with should be "cute" like dogs are cute, cats are cute and little doll babies in pink dresses are cute. Your men should be strong, independent, indeed sexy and bring something to the table more than just money like a strong sense of values, respect, maturity and a sense of direction. Where does Lil' Wayne fit into this? These rather lovely examples of black beauty Toya, Lauren London & Nivea. These aren't your run of the mill chicken heads from the hood. What really suprised me was how badly Wayne treated Toya. Then he decides to get Lauren London and Nivea knocked up at the same time. I'm not quite following but if you ladies insist. I will say that I looked high and low and I couldn't find any pictures of Lil Wayne with any of the females out in public and you know how I feel about that "A man that doesn't want to be seen with you definetely doesn't want to be seen with you"


Next, I look at Christina Milian. Oh, Christina, as I bow my head into the palm of my right hand. You are indeed getting married to man that has three children by another woman. You are indeed a very pretty young lady, you have created quite a market for yourself as a teeny-bopper type actress in the "Bring It On" series, sorry that you missed out on Nick Cannon whom is now married to one of the widely recognized women in the past 20 years of music. You end up with someone like The-Dream whom we can all agree needs to push back from the table. As a woman of your calibur, don't you think the fact that he has 4 children from other baby mamas raise a red flag to say "Maybe I should think about this first" but you're already expecting so there's not much to think about right? As I look at this situation I have to ask myself if he was "The-Dream" and just Tarius Nash, would bangin ass Christina Milian even give him a second look?



I don't know about anyone reading this but I so could've seen Christina Milian with a football player or a basketball player. She just gives you that vibe since dating people in the music industry hasn't quite worked out for her. However, ching-ching she got married to the new VP of Island/Def Jam who is worth quite a huge chunk of money, no pre-nup was involved and there is a child on the way. I absolutely smell disaster in two years with no one to gain but Christina. I smell a divorce, I smell a cash settlement and I smell a hit record or two maybe an album because of course, The-Dream is not going to give wifey shitty beats or songs now is he?



Lastly someone explain this Kanye West-Amber Rose deal. Amber Rose is one stunning BBB, bad-ass bald bitch. Her physique is impressive and her body parts are soft, juicy and luscious and (PAUSE) she is dating Kanye "I'm very happy for you, I'm a let you finish but" West. Just as equally as many of you said nobody knew who Taylor Swift was until Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, 90% of you didn't know who Amber Rose was until she was seen out with who? Kanye. I am not at all crediting Kanye West for blowing up peoples careers. Taylor Swift had been creating hit country songs since she was age 15 outselling Gretchen Wilson, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Pinckler. I still can't tell you what Amber Rose has done that's remarkable. She is indeed a beautiful beast of a female but what is she doing with Kanye? Kanye is the last person that comes to mind when the word "swagger" is involved and across the board talking to women of all different backgrounds, they wouldn't let Kanye near their sweet honey nectar even if he did have the biggest stinger. He is the nerd/band geek that none of the pretty girls want. That again changed after the release of his album Graduation in which he beat out the 50 Cent for the #1 spot on the album charts that week. (I'm not even touching the 50 and Ciara debacle, too easy). Kanye started dressing a little better, actually a lot better and gaining noteriety from many fashion bloggers, sites and designers all around for his snappy style. The thing is, you still gotta see him naked, when he's naked you gotta look at his face and you when you're all alone and just the two of you, you still gotta deal with that rediculous ego.

Women for a fact know that sex is a powerful tool and Men know for a fact that money is a powerful tool as well and they know as long as they got the money, they can get the girl and as long as they can get the girl, they are getting the sex. So Money does in fact change a situation huh. Well maybe I should come into some money. I'd probably see a difference in how not only people treat me but I will never have to worry about an empty bed again. Just a thought.

  1. Interesting...I will say that I've been attracted to Lil Wayne since I was in the 7th grade. He was actually cute back then. I don't think money makes a man/woman sexier. I don't find Jay-Z or P. Diddy to be attractive, and they are the richest men in hip-hop.

  2. I do agree that money makes some people more attractive and a lot more marketable (in the dating world). The good thing is that eventually the men that attract a woman/man for the "wrong" reasons, usually come into the knowledge and gets rid of them. I do, however, think that there is a difference between someone being attractive and sexy. Sex appeal is all about a swagg and personality. Someone can be totally unattractive (as shown by SOME of your examples) but still be extremely sexy and much desired!!!
    Either way, it doesn't help to come into a wad of cash to broaden the dating pool. Lord knows I'm hoping to hit the jackpot soon.

  3. I agree with your post - very interesting.

    I do not believe in most celebrity hook ups. I always think they are trading something for more fame. So ladies marry into money and goo looks and men marry into beauty and fame - hoping the sex life and relationship is awesome.

  4. It's funny you wrote about this because I'm noticing a lot of people are starting to claim Jay-Z and Kanye, knowing good and well those two creatures of the damned are not in the least bit attractive. Not saying that's all one should look for, but seeing as how we don't know these celebs personally, it's either the money, or this "to each his own" concept.
