Nas Speaks Up


Nas’ character, particularly towards women has come into question a couple of times within mainstream media lately. Initially with his first baby mother, Carmen Bryan and her tell-all book, and most recently with Kelis. With her subliminal attacks on twitter, and her statements reporting that Nas has not provided her with much money for there then, expecting child, Kelis is also portraying a side of Nas unknown to the general public. We haven’t heard much from the rapper addressing the controversy, but via Straight.com Nas has finally spoken up and is admitting that the media gossip is type amusing.

“It’s funny that someone would even care about some Nasir Jones shit,” says the MC, on the line from Atlantic City. “I’m still that kid from the block at the end of the day.… So when I watch this shit, it’s surreal. We get a good laugh off it and say, ‘Hey, they’re talking about me again and it’s some funny shit.’ ”

“I heard that I was a cheater,” says Nas, who takes on a more determined tone when discussing the matter. “It almost sounds like I was a bad husband. Not to say I was the greatest—I’m not perfect in anything I do—but I think I deserve a fucking trophy. If I do say so myself, without sounding too cocky, I gotta say I was a hell of a husband and a hell of a dad.”

“It’s unfortunate when business is out there about your personal shit, especially when you’re really not the guy to be having his shit out there,” he says. “The sad thing is, you’ve got to get used to it. My skin is so thick that I probably need to write a book for people who are not ready for anything crazy.”

While the gossip continues to swarm, Nas is currently focusing on Rock The Bells tour that he is co-headlining with Damien Marley. Per Straight.com the two are in the processing of finishing the highly anticipated hip-hop/reggae Distant Relatives expected to drop in the fall.
“I always liked how reggae and hip-hop have always been intertwined and always kind of pushed each other,” Nas says. “I’d worked with people before from the reggae world, but when I worked with Damian the whole workout was perfect. I just knew when we did ‘Zion’ that we weren’t done.”

Nas she is nothing but a gold digger, The only good song she made and its wasnt all that was MILK-ShAKE and she had to dress like a tramp to do that. all her other music suckes. so what do she do have a baby and try to live off you. even if she made a CD wont no one buy it. ya they might listen to it on the radio. but thats about it. Nas next time live them innocent H#ES alone. she never made it to the top 10. She couldnt be a Beyonce if she wanted to be, not even in her next life. Kelis please stop trying to pimp off Nas, get your own. its like Ne’Yo said “INDEPENDENT WOMEN listen to that song.
