There have been many hip-hop artists who have been subjects to domestic violence, and not all of them have been recent. A couple happened back in the 80's. A couple artists from the 80's were Madonna and Whitney Houston. Madonna was abused by her ex-lover, Sean Penn. They were married and he plead guilty to a misdemeanor. A year later they were divorced. Madonna stated that during their marriage, Penn had many violent outbursts toward her and others. Another 80's artist was Whitney Houston. Houston had a different story, her lover Bobby Brown was not the one doing the hitting, Houston was. Everybody thought it was Brown hitting Houston, therefore, he was arrested. After his arrest, Houston confessed and the couple was divorced. A couple recent artists are Mariah Carey, and Rihanna. Carey admitted in 2009 that she was a victim of physical and mental abuse. She was abused by her husbad, who in which she married in 1993 and divorced 5 years later, Tommy Motolla. She explained her marriage as being "more than just a marriage, but a business where a person was in control of my whole life." LAst but not least, everyone knows about Rihanna. She was beaten in a car by Chris Brown. Rihanna noticed he was texting an ex and took his phone and went through it. Brown aledgedly beat her badly. It was not only her face, but her whole body. The couple broke up, but they recently decided to get back together.
