American rapper Trina has opened up about why she chose not to have her husband sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage.
Trina, also known as “The Baddest Chick,” tied the knot with Benjamin Leon Kearse Jr, popularly known on stage as Swurv, back in May 2024.
Although no prenup was signed, Trina insists that she has no concerns because she keeps a close watch on their finances, and she knows every dime goes into their home.

In a recent interview on Keyshia Ka’oir’s podcast, ‘All Things Keyshia Ka’oir’, the music icon was asked if she and her husband had arranged a prenup prior to their marriage. Trina then revealed they hadn’t, and explained that she manages their financial situation and that all is under control.
“I didn’t, because my husband brings all of his money to me,” she told Ka’oir. “He can’t spend a dime without my consent. He can’t spend a dime for anything unless it goes through me. That phone goes ringing… I see everything.”
Trina and Swurv were featured on Season 5 of ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami’ in spring 2024 and gave fans a glimpse into their relationship.
At the time, Trina appeared to be deeply in love. During a summer interview on Reality With the King podcast, which is hosted by Carlos King, she touched on how Swurv had become her safe space after she encountered several personal tragedies, which included the deaths of her mother, brother, and niece.
“To me, honestly, it’s just a breath of fresh air being secure, confident in knowing and believing and trusting in how I feel,” Trina said.
“It’s more than just a relationship. I control my privacy, how I want it to be, as opposed to doing it because that’s what people need to see. I don’t care about that. If you see it, oh well. I’m not hiding. I’m happy. I’m confident. He’s extremely confident. And it’s more than just a relationship. We’ve built a friendship. Every day is like being with your best friend”, she added.
