Welcome to the Mecca of double-takes. - Sometimes artists pair up, and it leaves onlookers doing triple-takes because you’re like, “Hold up, what?” Over the years some music couples have left us scratching our heads. Just yesterday (September 13) it was reported that Faith Evans is now boo'ed up with, wait for it, Stevie J. Faith is reportedly also joining Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta as Stevie's boo. Is this all for the cameras? How did we even get here? Well, this isn't the first time. Let’s take a look at music’s weirdest pairings. – Jon Reyes and BET Staff(Photos: Faith Evans via Instagram)

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon - The gossip rags began to report a relationship between Nick and superstar Mariah Carey in the mid-2000s. Strange, right? Well, they upped the ante in 2008 when they came back from a vacation as a married couple.(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images For Nickelodeon)

Cassie & Puff Daddy - They’ve been on and off since 2007 which, at this point, is actually a really long time. That alone is pretty strange. Also, considering it all started when Cassie signed with Bad Boy through a deal with NextSelection – her ex Ryan Leslie’s imprint – they’ve survived a mighty minute.(Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

Ciara & Bow Wow - Listen, we weren’t really sold on the idea that Bow Wow and Ciara were at eye-level like this.(Photo: Evan Agostini/Getty Images)

Christina Milian & Lil Wayne - Don’t forget, Christina Milian started it all as a host on the Disney Channel, so we would have never paired her up with Lil Wayne. We would have also never have considered her for an artist on Cash Money, but that was also entertained. Hey, they were together for a minute – a Lil Wayne minute.(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill - Taking Nicki’s star power into account, as rumors of her and Meek began to circulate, many were like, “Nah, not Meek.” Yet, here we are, two years later.(Photo: Mitchell Leff/Getty Images)

Kylie & Tyga - Stay mad, but we’re considering all of the starring in Tyga’s videos and lyrics about Kylie as musical. Anyway, the rumors were strange enough. When you took into account that Kylie was underage, but once the relationship entered legal territory, it was still strange.(Photo: Craig Barritt/Getty Images)

Ariana Grande & Big Sean - The petite pop star linked up with Big Sean in 2014 after his contentious breakup with actress and aspiring singer Naya Rivera. While the couple didn’t last very long, it was a couple no one would have coupled to start with. Now we have Ariana in another rumored weird pairing: rapper Mac Miller.(Photo: Mario Anzuoni/Reuters/Landov)

Rihanna & Travis Scott - While never really confirmed because you know... Rihanna never confirms, the pair started making some headlines when a seemingly off-the-hinges songwriter claimed Travis Scott had a tight hold over Rihanna creatively.(Photo: 247PAPS.TV / Splash News)

Jhene Aiko & Dot Da Genius - Their marriage rumors began almost two years ago and then they made it public. Then they filed for divorce just months later. If you add Big Sean to the mix, the whole thing is just weird.(Photo: Jhene Aiko via Instagram)

Lil Kim & Scott Storch - This pair were linked during the time they worked on Lil Kim's 2005 album, The Naked Truth. It was never really confirmed but even the possibility seemed weird.(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)
