Ladies, I hope you grabbed drinks and sent out mushy texts to your best friend in celebration of #NationalGirlfriendsDay this past Friday (August 1). Reminiscing on all the great times and the bad, whether you see them every day or just once every so often the friendship is unbreakable.

While it’s easy to pick out the pettiness in female friendships in a male dominated industry, there are plenty of long-lasting female friendships in hip-hop. With some championing as a “Day 1” and others just recently starting to kick it, these best friends are built on an organic chemistry. Check out some of the best female friendships in hip-hop in honor of #NationalGirlfriendsDay on the following pages.
