While some of our favorite rappers often post photos of their adorable children, they tend to stay away from sharing pics of the children’s mothers. I mean, it makes sense…9 out of 10 times they’re no longer together, so what is the purpose of posting photos of an ex?

I’m sure a lot of you are curious as to the caliber of women these guys had before the money and the fame, so since I had nothing but time on my hands this lovely Monday morning, I’ve put together a gallery of 10 of the most popular rappers right now, their cute kids and their not-so-famous exes. You’re welcome!
