Seeing a busted dude pull a dime either inspires a respectful nod at the power of his game or instant jealousy.

Whatever the case, these mismatched instances of 13 people who dated out of their league are proof that all stars aren’t created equal.

If the leader of the Coke Boyz really is knocking down Sanaa Lathan, he has leveled up in a manner beyond comprehension. And let’s not forget that he bagged a Kardashian despite being a lower level rapper instead of an NBA player.

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri

Jermaine Dupri

We’re assuming he got that Janet Jackson tattoo covered up by now.

Hov’s no slouch, but not only is Beyonce the hottest chick in the game…she outearned him for most of their time together.

Robin Thicke

The “Blurred Lines” singer was able to lock down his high school sweetheart for over a decade before what we can only assume was the romantic equivalent of Stockholm syndrome wore off.

Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuel

Safaree

Somehow, Scaff Beezy lucked into Nicki Minaj despite basically being her weed carrier. How he managed to mess up such a sweet gig remains a mystery.

Travi$ Scott

We’re going to look back on the aughts, remember that Travi$ Scott basically wrote Yeezus and bagged Rihanna in the same two-year span and wonder why we didn’t praise him more.

Meek Mill

Both Nicki and Meek are upgrading from their previous partners, but let’s not pretend as if Meek Mill is anywhere near Nicki’s level. He knows he’s a lucky dude.

Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez

Casper Smart

The cougar life has been good to Casper Smart. Unlike the previous civilians whom J-Lo has dated, Smart seems to know not to mess up a good thing.

Nick Young and Iggy Azalea

Iggy Azalea

The Hip-Hop world is desperately hoping Iggy Azalea is a two-hit wonder that will eventually fade into obscurity. Meanwhile, for all of his shenanigans, Nick Young will make no less than $30 million before his NBA career is finished.

Katy Perry and Travis McCo

Travis McCoy

While Katy Perry is locking down covers of Forbes magazine and bringing in $135 million, Travie McCoy basically peaked in 2008.

Rick Ross

It’s hard to say who’s getting the better end of this marriage deal. Ricky Rozay will never be considered a heartthrob, but the Internets are alleging Lira Galore has been passed between more rappers than a Jacob the Jeweler Jesus piece.

Are those women really out of his league anymore? Uncle Rush has been smashing models since the ‘80s, and he has a net worth upwards of $300 million.

Daniel Gibson

Dude lost LeBron, then he lost Keyshia, and then he lost the money they were poised to make from their BET reality show. He’s got to hold those Ls for a lifetime.
