Kelis/Nas Post

So I jumped the gun thinking Kelis had her baby when Nas announced that his name was Knight. Poor cousin Kelis was in labor still. This lady was in the hospital pushing and sweating for 31 hours. WHAT!? Jeez, anywayz, Knight Jones was born at 9pm on Thursday night. He weighed in at 7lbs, 8oz.
Her rep said, “The beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful.” And according to TMZ, Nas showed up to the hospital but was kicked out by security because he was drunk. Source

In Other Nas/Kelis News…

It's an eternity. "My rib cage is being attacked by my stomach which is annihilating my lungs. I want this little martian now! I can't wait - the suspense is crazy. I hate waiting. I have probly (sic) 6 to 8 weeks left! Longest time in my life! I need to have this baby pronto! I'm over this figure!"

Nas was Abusive to Kelis?

Besides the cheating rumors, now allegations of abuse have come out against Nas. He supposedly once threw a glass of Patron in her face and lefter her in a London club. He recently posted pics on Twitter of himself and Maxwell partying it up in a hotel room surrounded by groupies. Source
Hmm, I’ve never seen this side of Nas. I feel like he tries to push this “I’m deep and enlightened” side. When in reality, he’s more Oochie Wally than God’s Son.

Kelis Airs out Nas Via Twitter

Kelis takes to the internet to address cheating husbands. Kelis, who is currently divorcing Nas, the father of her unborn child, talked to cheating husbands in a post on Twitter. Here’s some of the things she wrote:

“This lovely day I would like to touch on cheaters. ... Why be cowardly, why not go after what you really want? Do people know what they want? Probably not, which just goes into know and respecting one's self."

"Also we can discuss whores, I mean the nasty, sub-par tricks that participate in the cheating. Well let me say this, both parties are gross. And in reality they deserve each other."

"All the scumbag coward husbands and the less than impressive sluts unite! You can all go down in flames together! Hooray! Who's disgusted and bitter? LOL, not I said the cat! Wink wink."

"No seriously I have no [patience] for any of it, but the problem is women usually blame the women. I am here to say the husband is way more at fault. Now of course the woman/women who partake are stupid and pitiful. And honestly I will say it’s expected from younger girls 23 and under."

"But after that I do think as women we need to take more responsibility. Men are driven by something different than we are. And that's generally stupidity. Don't worry, we still love you guys. We just have to be smarter." Sounds

I always recommend taking the higher road …however, it feels so good to call folks on their nonsense, no?

Nas and Kelis are Dunzo

Since news broke that hip-hop power couple, Nas and Kelis are divorcing, more details have come out.

XXL editor Elliot Wilson did an interview with Angela Yee and said:

"The final straw went down last Friday when they had a disagreement, and they haven't seen each other since to my knowledge."

On the women Nas was cheating on his pregnant wife with:

"She had found a certain young lady's photos and inappropriate text, correspondence between a certain young lady on the side ... I don't believe it's a famous woman. I believe it's a black chick from Virginia who may be a promoter of some sort, but definitely not a famous chick."

On the verbal abuse allegations:

"The biggest issue I heard is a lot of him just talking to her crazy...besides physicaly abusive they can be verbally abusive...A lot of the drama I'm hearing had to do with that aspect too."

On the breaking point:

"To find out your man's cheating on you when your seven months pregnant in a blatant way makes Kelis feel like this is the breaking point and she's calling the lawyer."

I surely didn’t see this coming. They were like the poster children for Hollyweird marriages gone right. And she’s about to drop a baby too? So sad.

She wasn't wearing a wedding ring."He insists he has not been confronted by Nas over the allegations. Source

Nas Supports Kelis Amid Sex Tape Rumors

Wendy Williams gave a blind item the other day about an R&B chick who is married to a rapper and who stars in a sex tape with another man. Wendy also claims to be in possession of the tape. Everyone has figured out that she’s talking about Nas and Kelis. But the couple seems to be unfazed by it all.
According to Miss Info:
Nas jumped on stage at the end of N.E.R.D.’s set, and performed songs off his untitled album, before going into his classics. Then he started “If I Ruled the World,” and said, “Give it up for my wife, Kelis!”
Kelis then sang Lauryn Hill’s hook and when the song was over, the couple shared a kiss and Nas went on to give his wife props, saying “I’m her biggest fan,” and even firing shots at her “imposters.” Source
If she did the tape before she was with Nas then who really cares? For all we know it’s not even her. Kudos to Nas for keeping up the united front.

Kelis is Free!

Kelis has been acquitted of disorderly conduct charges stemming from a 2007 incident when she supposedly screamed racial epithets to police officers posing as prostitutes. Though she was acquitted she will still proceed with plans to sue the Miami Beach Police Department for the arrest.
"I'm thrilled that justice prevailed in the end," Kelis said in a statement Friday (September 12). "Racial profiling is a very serious matter. Unfortunately, most victims learn to deal with this form of harassment in their daily lives because they feel that they don't have a voice or because they're not able to absorb the costs to legally fight it in court. I hope that this sheds light on the fact that wearing a uniform and carrying a badge does not allow you to act above the law."
"We feel vindicated that the court recognized that Kelis did nothing wrong," defense attorney Ira N. Loewy added. "Her protest over the illegal and unjustified harassment of her husband and friends was protected by her constitutional civil right to speech. She plans to bring a civil suit against the Miami Beach Police for this violation of her civil rights and unlawful arrest." Source
Celebs sure do like court. It’s like another vaca spot when their not working. Let’s see I can go to Lake Tahoe, Maui, Tuscany, or court. Decisions, decisions…
