The Ex-Files: Artists Open Up on Wax

Because heartache isn't heartache until it hits the web.

Bye Bye Love - “Get my name out your mouth!” is probably the most normal thing to say to an ex after a breakup. Talking about your exes can be petty, sometimes corny, other times (depending on the amount of time) endearing. In the case of Tyga, it's really odd. Lately the rapper has been going around saying Kylie overshadowed his talent. Hmm. Plus, Iggy Azalea broke off her engagement to Nick Young. While she made it public on social media, will this spark a new track of heartache? Who knows. Check out some artists who did open up about their exes in front of the world. — Jon Reyes(Photo by Craig Barritt/Getty Images)
Tyga and Kylie Jenner - The reality star and rapper broke up a couple of weeks ago and Tyga is out here letting the world know what he’s feeling. In an interview, Tyga stated, “When you’re in a very public relationship like that, it’s hard for other people to see you differently than that. Being in that, it took a lot, career-wise, everything. It overshadowed a lot of my talents and a lot of things that I worked hard for.” Oddly enough his last mixtape, F*k What They Talkin Bout, featured bars about his sex life with Kylie and two of the videos for the mixtape (“Stimulated” and “Dope’d Up”) featured the reality star pretty heavily. You might have played yourself, Tyga.(Photos from left: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Marie Claire, Jason Kempin/Getty Images for The Clara Lionel Foundation)
Jordin Sparks and Sage the Gemini - It was reported by sources that Jordin Sparks and rapper Sage the Gemini had split up. While the reason why is unclear, days later Sage would upload "I'll Keep Loving You" to his Soundcloud page and wrote a very heartfelt Instagram post. With "Tell all your exes be gone, just come home, because it's all here" and "Tell all your ex-boyfriends be gone," the cause of their break-up seems to point to other exes coming out of the woodwork.Still, this is one sad ex on wax. (Photo: Sage the Gemini via Twitter)Ciara and Future - Future and Ciara’s split was less than amicable. And after all this time (and even with a kid), they are still at odds. Ciara just filed a $15 million lawsuit against Future to stop slandering her name. She may have a case. Future has been outspoken in interviews with Elliott Wilson and The Breakfast Club. Oh yeah, and on Twitter. He’s even addressed the past relationship (non-scandalously) on wax in “Just Like Bruddas.”(Photo: Kevin Tachman/Getty Images)
