A 2-year relationship is quite an accomplishment by celebrity standards, even when it's on and off. In an industry where relationships last shorter than a candy bar to a fat kid, only the most uncompromising fans are left stupefied when an announcement of such breaks news.
Now the part of a celebrity breakup that keeps the public fixated is usually, if not, always, the reason behind the split.
And that "selling point" is always connected with the "why" of the separation. This where ears tune in to the radio or eyes are glued to the screen.
Take Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill for example. Two remarkable rappers, in their own right, have been on and off for nearly two years but this time, it is official. Any jaws drop when the split was made public? I'm sure not. You'll hear a yawn or maybe someone will do that "eye roll" thing.
Then that delightful explanation comes up. Ms. Minaj, the one who broke off the union has one such explanation which is probably the most unexpected yet not scandalous at all which is the normal case for most celebrity breakups.
You know, the 'he slept with our nanny' thing or 'she was verbally abusive to my grandma' revelation that will be on front page of TMZ magazine. Does TMZ have a magazine? Anyway, moving forward.
Ms. Nicki Minaj is no longer on that ghetto realm type of thing. She has leveled up to becoming a more classy manicured type of gal which is antithetical to the "thug" personality.
"Meek still wants to go to the hood, hang out with his boys and ride bikes. Nicki's into refined things, like museums and fashion shows. They both have similar pasts, so they hit it off. But Nicki is no longer in a 'hood mentality' and Meek is. One day he'll grow up and maybe they'll get back together," an insider told MediaTakeOut.com.
This breakup might be the best for both:
An awakening for poor Mr. Mill, 29, giving him a reason to think over things, like, 'is this the image I want keep when I'm 50?'
And freedom for the refined Ms. Minaj to explore the truly finer more cultured things in life. You go girl!
