rides or dies

Unwavering loyal allies

Rides or dies are people who remain loyal through any circumstance—the friends, partners, or allies who stick with you no matter what.

From the phrase "ride or die," suggesting someone willing to face death rather than abandon you: Those are my rides or dies.

The term comes from hip-hop and biker culture, emphasizing unconditional loyalty.
