Music Love Triangles

Three's a crowd in these high profile relationships.

Three's A Crowd - It looks like Trina is getting back to business without French Montana and she’s airing him out for it. “You can keep that purse, you can keep that whip, you can have that b--h," Trina raps on her new single “F--k Love,” a rumored jab at her former beau. The Baddest B--h and the "Don't Panic" rapper were an item until Trina discovered she was dropped for Khloe Kardashian. French, who is still married to another, allegedly snapped back at Trina claiming that she was never “his main.” Messy, but they probably ain't worried 'bout nothing as this is not the first trio to be caught in the loop of a triangle.

Meek Mill – Rihanna – Chris Brown - Let the Twitterverse tell it, Chris Brown removed Meek Mill from his "Don't Judge Me" song off his 2012 album, Fortune. The cause? None other than Rihanna.

Meek tweeted, which apparently caused CB to respond with a reference to Mill's Dreamchasers mixtape series: "She's a dream chaser! There are a lot of dreamers so she'll be running forever."(Photos from left: John Ricard/BET,Fernando Leon/Getty Images, Thibault Monnier/PacificCoastNews.com)

Lil' Kim – Notorious B.I.G. – Faith Evans - Although the film Notorious glossed over the intensity of the affair between the Notorious B.I.G. and his rap protégé Lil Kim, whom he was seeing while married to R&B star Faith Evans, no one can forget how the sparks flew in this crowded romance.
