Can a man and a woman be just friends? Some of your favorite celebrities seem to think so.
While the validity of platonic friendships is debatable, a number of celebs are open about their friends-only relationships with the opposite sex.
From Nicki and her bff Safaree to Teyana and Chris, check out their ‘brother and sister’ swag below.
Teyana Taylor And Chris Brown
Teyana Taylor and Chris Brown are famous for their brother/sister relationship. The pair has been spotted out together on numerous occasions and most recently Taylor made headlines for a reported altercation with a female that slandered his name.
The pair’s so tight that at times they even rock matching hairstyles.
Aww…
Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay-Z
Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay-Z are like brother and sister, this according to Jigga himself.
The Roc Nation head recently spoke highly of Paltrow on his Life And Times blog, saying,
“Oscar-winning actress and my sister Gwyneth Paltrow emailed me and said, “I love your new site. Can I ask you five questions about it?” I said, “I’ll showyou mine if you let me see yours.” Here are mine. Go see hers at goop.com. It’s fresh!”
Ludacris and Lala
After working a radio show together, Christopher ‘Ludacris’ Bridges and Alani ‘Lala’ Vasquez developed a close friendship.
The two are still close to this day and Luda who Lala deems her ‘big brother’ even appeared on her reality TV show to dish out advice.
Diddy And Lil Kim
Despite butting heads over her recent issues with Nicki Minaj, Diddy and Lil Kim were once famous for their platonic relationship.
The lover of his best friend Biggie has been by his side since the 90’s and are sure to reconcile once this Nicki/Kim drama is resolved. At least we hope so…
Fortunately you can see how much they care for each other through pictures.
Look at the platonic love in Kim’s eyes…
Akon And Lady Gaga
Unbeknownst to many Akon and Lady Gaga are close friends, almost as close as brother and sister according to Akon. The rapper who signed Gaga to his Kon Live Record label, expressed his love for his sister in 2010 telling MTV,
“I think she’s a magnet to the industry in general, She’s brave. She’s fresh. She’s different. She’s bold. She don’t give a damn. You gotta take her as she is. That’s the beauty of it. You’re forced to like her the way she is without no extra stuff added! She’s like a sister to me. That’s like my girl. She’s right here, in a headlock!”
Nicki Minaj And Safaree
People have long wondered about the relationship between Nicki Minaj and her “hypeman” Safaree Samuels but according to the YM Barbie, the two are strictly platonic.
Nicki and Safaree are often seen out together holding hands…but ya know…in a “friendly” brother/sister type of way. “
They’ve also sparked rumors of an engagement by donning diamond rings both on their left hands.
