The Wopsters’ Gucci Mane, Keyshia Ka’oir Score Massive BET Wedding Special
Having trouble finding enough coins in your couch to pay for your impending nuptials? Looks like you just missed your chance to have BET pay for the milestone event as they’ve just agreed to cover the cost for hip hop star Gucci Mane, 37, and 32-year-old fiancée Keyshia Ka’oir’s upcoming wedding.
Gucci’s bling on his teeth and around his neck help to give some idea of how grandiose this occasion will be, as does the $1 million price tag BET has agreed to cover as part of a contract with the engaged duo, according to TMZ. The lovebirds, known as The Wopsters, are also being paid $650k total to take part in a reality show on the same network leading up to the main event, the wedding, on Oct. 17.
Those lucky enough to snag an invite to the wondrous affair will find themselves in Miami among 200 of the stars’ closest family and friends. Surely with some great musical performances to round out the night.
Who would have thought that this was all made possible because Gucci Mane decided to take the plunge and propose to his then-girlfriend. But it wasn’t just any proposal. He popped the question on the Kiss Cam during the Atlanta Hawks vs. New Orleans Pelicans game at the Philips Arena last November, raising the bar for all celebrity proposals to come.
Now the 37-year-old artist and his fiancée are set to join the ranks of other stars who agreed to televise their wedding events.
Remember when Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson’s wedding aired as part of VH1’s “All Access Celebrity Weddings” special in 2003? Or what about when Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro gave MTV behind-the-scenes access to their wedding in the reality series?
Let’s just hope this matrimony lasts longer than the Kardashian’s. Talking, of course, about Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ marriage, who aired their wedding during the special “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event” in 2011, which lasted an infamous 72 days.
Only time will tell, but there are still a few months to go before the wedding even airs. Luckily, “Down,” the new Fifth Harmony single that Gucci Mane is featured on, will help tide everyone over until then. #OnRepeat
