Public Enemy’s Professor Griff and Hip Hop vet Solé quietly tied the knot over the weekend. Solé, who was previously married to Ginuwine, posted multiple photos of the wedding to her Instagram account, revealing a traditional rakhi ceremony. One caption read, “Mr. & Mrs. Shah 8.27.17.”
In a previous Instagram post, dated August 11, Solé explained how the longtime friends finally reconnected and what the rakhis they’re wearing on their wrists symbolizes.
“today marked one year to the day that @professorgriff and I reconnected and had lunch as friends,” the Kansas City native explained. “We had no clue what would ensue. At the time we had known each other for 27 years but he was always like my big brother. After that lunch though, something changed… and a beautiful plutonic friendship based on love and mutual respect, began blossoming into a beautiful, romantic relationship based on that foundation.”
She continued, “Traditionally, sisters tie a rakhi to their brothers’ wrist as a reminder of his duty to protect and honour his spiritual as well as brotherly obligations. They take a vow to protect them from harm and sisters pray for long life for their brothers … We tied them on each other as a symbol of love, honor, respect and protection for one another… and offered these prayers to the Divine.”
In addition to his work with Public Enemy, Griff has released a handful of solo albums, including 2001’s And The Word Became Flesh, which was co-produced by PE frontman Chuck D. Public Enemy’s latest album, Nothing Is Quick In The Desert, dropped in June.
Check out the wedding photos above.
I remember she use to rap back in the 90’s, she was easily the finest female rapper out, she got trina by 10x. She quit rapping after she married ginuwine, she still gorgeous you can tell she takes care of herself.
She couldn’t rap worth a damn.
Congrats to them! I know she been rocking with Griff for a minute now. Ginuwine lost, she is def a keeper
Is that that complex in the Atlanta area where the leader of a pseudo African religion was molesting little girls?

Is he the one from Public Enemy that hates white people??
Go eff yourself you right wing testicle.
Celebrity weddings is usually the muck of media and the worst sh*t to read about or even become aware of happening. But this was cute. And Griff been a true voice of resistance for decades, the israel lobby tried to shut him down back in ’88, almost made PE apologize for having him in their crew (Security of the First World & all that) but he’s still kickin it with them and I still keep The Verdict in my playlists, never gets old.

Griff is an self described communist and open admirer of Mao, Stalin and Ayatollah Khomeini. “A true voice of resistance for decades”, what a fucking joke.
Why quietly? He owed us an announcement?
Congrats to both Griff & Sole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sole is going to play a role in PE’s breakup. Mark my words.
