James Brown told us, “This is a man’s world, but it wouldn’t be nothing without a woman.”

Please believe the tables turned when these 14 women who emasculated their famous men showed the world who wears the pant suit in their respective relationships.

Vanessa Bryant

She wasn’t with him shooting in the gym, but even his struggly butterfly tattoo and $4 million apology ring didn’t stop her from dropping the iron fist and serving him with those papers. Lady V had the self-proclaimed Black Mamba looking like a garter snake.

Erykah Badu and Common

At the height of his simping, Common was wearing crochet hats, and even Questlove was saying Comm was so whipped it was impacting his music.

Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuel

Put it like this: would you even know who Safaree was if it weren’t for Nicki?

‘Hov ended Ma$e’s career, took Nas to the canvas with “Takeover,” and he let the beef cook with Fat Joe. Who knew it would be his wife’s Lemonade that would allegedly show Jigga was human after all.

Kris Jenner and Caitlin Jenner

Kris Kardashian

There’s an obvious, sexist pun to be exploited here. But long before Bruce became Caitlin, he was America’s most henpecked husband ever.

Mo' Nique and Sidney Hicks

Mo’Nique

It had to be hard for Sidney Hicks when Mo’Nique was on the red carpet spilling all the tea about their open marriage.

Bow Wow and Erica Mena

Erica Mena

Remember that episode of The Boondocks where Granddad is tricking on a young woman named Cristal? Bow Wow almost wifing up Erica Mena was the real life version, and folks didn’t hesitate to remind him.

Rihanna and Drake

It’s not like you can entirely blame Aubrey here. There’s a long, illustrious history of men being completely whipped by bad Bajan women.

Mariah Carey

When you get a mural-sized tattoo of the name “Mariah” across your entire back you have to hold that L tightly like a long lost relative.

Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga

Gender norms can seem rather dated at times. But, when was the last time you saw a woman do a reverse proposal on a dude?

Kylie Jenner

Aside from the whole jailbait thing, when Tyga’s funds were thinner than Kylie’s pre-Botox lips, she allegedly floated him the bread for the luxury whip that ended up being her own birthday present.

Nick Young and Iggy Azalea

When your woman draws the ire of a whole community and still points out your inability to spell, we’re gonna need you to have several seats.

Sean Combs aka P Diddy and Kim Porter

Kim Porter

In the September 2007 issue of Essence, the former Mrs. Sean Combs detailed how she took the kids and basically pulled a Ginger from Casino on Puff. Take that…take that.

Paula Patton and Robin Thicke

Paula Patton

Robin Thicke more or less played himself by allegedly cheating on the super bad Paula Patton. Her giving him the ultimate curve while he spent the better part of a year on bended knee was just icing on the cake.
