Nas did an interview with the Straight to promote his show in Canada last weekend, and he took the time to address the rumors flooding the internet about his relationship with soon-to-be-ex-wife Kelis. Here's an excerpt of what went down:
“It’s funny that someone would even care about some Nasir Jones shit,” he told the magazine. “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....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. 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.”
Nas, now you know the minute you become a celebrity your business becomes grist for the gossip mill. People are going to say whatever they want, whether it's true or not. If you happen to go on a talk show and these questions come up, that is your time to tell your side. Once it comes out of the horse's mouth, the whole thing is settled. Besides, anyone who says they don't like being talked about in the press is a fucking liar! Being talked about builds interest in you as an artist whether it's good or bad press. Oh, and no one deserves a trophy for being a great husband or father. it's just something that you do and work through when times get hard or times are good. Marriage and children is a thankless job, so deal with it.
