Say what you will about the quality and quantity of their music, but the Cash Money/Young Money roster stands as one of the more high-profile labels in Rap thanks to Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj.

The big three of YMCMB make headlines for their dating choices as well as their music, both of which are subject to their fair share or criticism on the Internet.
While it’s fairly easy to keep tabs on who the label’s flagship artists are dating, you might be surprised at the gallery of YMCMB sidepieces.

TMZ ran a recent story alleging Nicki Minaj kicked her longtime beau Safaree to the curb. Whether he’s old news or not, Safaree makes the list as one of the few males due to his connection with Nicki.

Maybe Christina Milian should have waited before going public about her relationship with Lil Wayne, because Wayne allegedly benched the “Dip It Low” singer and former Dancing With The Stars competitor when he reunited with an ex.
Poor Bow Wow is languishing on the YMCMB shelf, but he continues to get checks from BET’s 106 & Park. He made headlines earlier this year by getting engaged to Love & Hip Hop: New York cast member Erica Mena.
Nivea is the second one of The-Dream’s ex-wives to be scooped up by Lil Wayne. So yeah, we’re sensing a pattern here too.
The YMCMB history of cupcaking strippers, getting publicly sprung and allegedly dissing them on songs when things turn sour was upheld nicely when Drake was booed up with Maliah Michel.
The well-chronicled union between Lil Wayne and Trina was one of Wayne’s longer relationships. In addition to the tracks they made about each other and the occasional confirmation of their relationship in interviews, they reportedly have each other’s names inked on their respective bodies.
Don’t hold your breath on that Chanel West Coast album. While she waits for a release date, at least YMCMB’s other Chanel has her man Liam Horne to help her pass the time.
Rihanna’s pimp hand is way strong, and she allegedly had Drake sprung when the pair initially hooked up after she rebounded from Chris Brown. Apparently, Rihanna has that kind of love that makes dudes want to fight each other in the club.
She may be one of the more low key YMCMB sidepieces, but if the headlines are to be believed, Dhea Sodano has that H-Town loving that made Lil Wayne put Christina Milian on timeout because he wanted that old thing back.

Tyga should probably hire an A-list publicist to do some damage control. So far, 2014 has seen him involved in ugly headlines about his split from Blac Chyna, beefing with Drake, his unhappiness with Young Money and allegedly dipping in the kiddie pool with underage model/actress Kylie Jenner.
We were all shocked upon finding out actress and seemingly good girl Lauren London joined the ranks of Lil Wayne’s baby mamas in 2009. The two co-parent their child, Cameron Carter.
Toya Wright holds it down as one of Lil Wayne’s day one love interests. While she’s obviously no longer with Wayne, she gained notoriety as the mother of Wayne’s daughter Reginae.
Hopefully Ericka Lee ended up with some publishing after falling victim to Drake’s penchant for kissing and telling. One of Lee’s old voicemails ended up on the song “Marvin’s Room” from Drake’s 2011 album Take Care, and she settled out of court with Drake for an undisclosed amount.
Back when the possibility of Bow Wow releasing an album on YMCMB still seemed realistic, the man known as Shad Moss went public about fathering a daughter with video vixen Joie Chavez.
If you mess with Drake and get him sprung, you’ll probably end up on a song. We all eventually found out Courtney Janell was the “Courtney from Hooters” Drizzy referenced on the song “From Time.”

Tyga is rumored to be on the outs with the YMCMB clan and the mother of his child. Things turned petty when Blac Chyna accused Tyga of hacking into her Twitter account and calling her a gold digger.
