Here, My Dear: Hip Hop's Illest Breakups

The messiest, most dramatic rap-related splits.

Game and Tiffney Cambridge - Rounding out the game of "Case Of the Ex on Reality TV," we have Game and his on-again-off-again girlfriend/fiancée/mother of his children, Tiffney Cambridge. After a break up that included the drama of reported domestic abuse and Tiffney commenting on Game's foster daughter, it's needless to say that these California lovebirds may not find their way back to each other this time around.

Swizz Beatz & Mashonda - In 2008, producer/rapper Swizz Beatz and his wife Mashonda separated. The couple went through a well publicized divorce with Mashonda accusing Alicia Keys of stealing her husband.  Swizz is now married to Alicia with a son named Egypt.(Photo: Brad Barket/Getty Images)
Treach & Pepa - Pepa (of Salt N Pepa) released a book, Let’s talk About Pep, in 2008 that detailed a brutal beatdown she received at the hands of "Brad." Many believed the name was a pseudonym for her ex, Treach from Naughty by Nature. Treach later admitted that the relationship was abusive, but said it was from both sides.

There's no denying Yeezy was more grounded — though not nearly as entertaining — when he was with the fashion designer, who (as of now, at least), is the person who came closest to becoming Mrs. Yeezy.

Here, My Dear: Hip-Hop's Illest Breakups - Hate it or love it, Game's well-publicized engagement to his long-time girlfriend, Tiffany Cambridge. The Compton firestarter proposed to Cambridge in front MTV's cameras last October. But it wasn't meant to be. "We regret to inform you that the wedding of Tiffney Cambridge & Jayceon Taylor has been cancelled," a statement on the couple's website said. Game confirmed the news in a series of tweets. "The rumors are TRUE. The wedding is OFF," he wrote. "It's not her fault, it's mine! She's a GREAT woman, I just wasn't man enough 2 see it through." We don't know what happened exactly, but let's hope it wasn't as bad as these other messy hip-hop-related splits.  (Photo: Valerie Macon/Getty Images)
