Drake And Nicki Minaj: A Timeline To Twitter Matrimony

Drake and Nicki Minaj are two of the biggest MCs reppin' Young Money and on Friday, the hitmaking rappers made major headlines when they tweeted that they had tied the knot. Even if unions announced on social-networking sites aren't recognized by law, the duo's strong bond is undeniable.

Here's a timeline of Drake and Nicki Minaj's moments in the spotlight on their road to Twitter matrimony:

»Minaj told Mixtape Daily in August 2009 that she and Drizzy are "super-close." "Before all of this started, I would tell him, 'You're a star.' And he'd be like, 'You're a star.' And we'd kinda been each other's biggest fans. To see his dreams come into fruition, it makes me very happy," she said.

»In fall 2009, Minaj battled criticism for reportedly penning her freestyles beforehand; an issue that Drake also dealt with earlier in the year.

»In March 2010, Drizzy and Minaj joined Young Money boss Lil Wayne onstage at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden. "This means the world to me -- to be there with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Drake," Minaj said. "It was the stuff that dreams are made of for a girl."

»Drake and Minaj appeared together on the May issue of XXL magazine with the caption, "Domination: The Rebirth of Rap Royalty."

»Drake stuck up for Minaj in June amid her drama with fellow femcee Lil' Kim and said he "didn't respect" the Queen Bee's swipes.

»Drake said that he and the Young Money Barbie have a "playful relationship" when asked about the infamous "Miss Me" lyric in which he spits about wife-ing up Minaj. "That line on the album is just me playing with her. I'll be playing with her for years until she's ready to go, and then I'm ready," he said.

»Drake dropped Thank Me Later on June 15. Nicki Minaj appears on the track "Up All Night."

» On August 27, the MCs told their Twitter followers that they are married. "Please refer to @nickiminaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and dont stare at her too long. She's finally mine. :)," Drizzy tweets.



Usher Opens Up About Marriage To Tameka Foster

Usher's personal life — or public speculation about what has happened behind closed doors — has often figured prominently in the singer's work. Fans ate up the 2004 Confessions LP, which dropped amid rumors that Usher had stepped out on ex-girlfriend Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Similarly, the singer had endured whispers about his reportedly rocky marriage to stylist Tameka Foster before his latest album, Raymond v. Raymond, debuted at #1 this year.

On the heels of the release of Versus, an extension of Raymond, the R&B crooner opened up about why he wasn't able to make it work with Foster.

"We're two different people and we have two different goals," Usher told People. "It just was never going to work out 100 percent."

Just like he did with his monster album Confessions, the ATL singer turned the heartbreak into hits. "My music is about where I am at the time," Usher explained. "In Raymond v. Raymond, I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart and I was suddenly a single father."

Continuing his tradition of mining his personal life for inspiration, Usher said that Versus is "about being a dating father."

Earlier this year, the buzz surrounding his relationship with Foster ramped up when Usher's track "Papers," a song about ending a marriage by signing off on divorce documents, hit airwaves. However, Usher told MTV News in March that while the track wasn't inspired by a real-life situation, it unfortunately became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"When the song was recorded, I wasn't divorced," Usher said. "It was some reality in the contrast of trying to make it all work, having to balance a career and having a normal life. Coming in at six in the morning and arguing was a reality when you have those type of relationships. I felt that in a way, the story did touch on certain things at the time. I didn't know how realistic it would become. I didn't know I would become divorced. I did know it spoke on the contrast between trying to balance this world of being married and having this responsibility that's like a marriage at the same time. The song spoke to that place. Unfortunately, it did become a reality."
