NSFW Week: A History Of Artists Falling In Love With Strippers

July 3, 2014 - 6:45 pm by Chris Yuscavage

At this point in his life, Usher could get just about any woman he wants. But on his latest song, "I Don't Mind," featuring Juicy J, he doesn't want just any woman. He wants a stripper. "You can take off your clothes," he sings. "Long as you coming home, girl, I don't mind."

Quite a few rappers and singers (and in one case, a certain "rappa ternt sanga") have fallen in lust with exotic dancers, too. Click through and see why Usher clearly isn't the only one who's found love in the (strip) club.

The Artist: Wyclef Jean The Song: 2000's "Perfect Gentleman" Sure, 'Clef likes to throw money around in the strip club. But the theme of this song is showing respect while you do it. Additionally, 'Clef also connects with one stripper in particular on the track and sings about how he "called up his mama" to tell her that he's "in love with a stripper." It's almost like a fairy tale. [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed] Photo Credit: Getty Images

The Artist: JuJu (from The Beatnuts) The Song: 2002's "Work That Pole" At the beginning of his verse, JuJu just wants a dance from a young lady. By the end, he's asking her to have a conversation…and then a drink…and then a nightcap…and then telling her that she can "make a man fall in love with a blink." It all escalates very quickly.

The Artist: T-Pain The Song: 2005's "I'm 'n Luv (Wit a Stripper)" The title pretty much says it all. T-Pain walks into the strip club and falls in love. How cute/creepy. [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed] Photo Credit: Getty Images

The Artist: Robin Thicke The Song: 2011's "Shakin' It 4 Daddy" The R&B singer just can't contain himself. "She got me trickin' in the club/About to fall in love," he sings on this track that featured Nicki Minaj, "Cause she make that booty roll/When she come up on the pole." Maybe this is one of the things that got Paula Patton so upset at him? [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed] Photo Credit: Getty Images

The Artist: The Weeknd The Song: 2011's "Wicked Games" Some of the other rappers and singers on this list say that they're in love with a stripper, but we don't necessarily believe them. It's hard to not buy into what The Weeknd is singing about on this track, though. He's sprung and sounding incredibly desperate for a dancer to reciprocate his feelings for her.

The Artist: Rick Ross The Song: 2012's "Pop That" In the middle of what will probably go down as one of the greatest strip club anthems ever, Rozay expresses his love for a dancer from Miami. "I love my big booty bitches, my life a Godfather picture," he raps. "Local club in my city, I fell in love with a stripper." Awww.

The Artist: August Alsina The Song: 2013's "Confessions Interlude (Part 2)" Can it be? Did August really fall in love with…a stripper? He seems baffled by the idea and yet can't help but explore it. Confessions, for real. [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed] Photo Credit: Getty Images
