A few days ago, Nas turned quite a few heads when he finally sounded off about his ongoing custody battle with Kelis over their son, Knight Jones. He also made major claims against Kelis for reportedly emotionally and verbally abusing his daughter, whom he says she’s jealous of. In addition to that, Nas addressed the abuse claims Kelis made about him and the many reportedly ‘false’ stories he says she recently told to Essence Magazine. Although the “If I Ruled the World” rapper is usually the laid-back, low-key type, he had no reservations about defending himself when he was asked about all of the scathing allegations Kelis has discussed.
Soundin’ Off:
On Thursday, September 6, 2018, Nas took to Instagram to share details about his discussion with Essence magazine. He revealed he’d been contacted to share his opinion of the abuse allegations. The It Was Written rapper had more than a few choice words for his estranged ex-wife:
“Today I got a call from Essence about my ex-wife doing another sad fictitious story. Nothing surprises me anymore, including this. This is what your life has come to sis?” Nas wrote. “Exploiting some people’s Real struggle and pain . . . just to get at me . . . to get attention? Fame? Another fight against men?”
He also offered a statement about Kelis, in which he blasted her for her actions:
“Everything with her is a plot and a scheme. Has no merit. No foundation. I didn’t wanna speak up because I have real respect for our women. And definitely my son. I do not beat women. I did not beat up my ex-wife. Stop. You got beat up in court. How much money do you want? Do you want me to relinquish my rights to see my son is that what you want? Just tell me. After all the tweets and posts you made thru the years disrespecting me and my family I still have love for you as the mother of my child BUT I am done with this.”
Nas had a LOT more to say in his lengthy 7-page pissed off blasting about Kelis that she probably didn’t like it, but y’all can read them here>>> Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.
For those who missed all the drama between Nas and Kelis, the two have been beefin’ for years and he has been taking Kelis back and forth to court, in hopes that the judge will rule in his favor in regards to their son. Now, Nas’ fans have directed their anger and frustrations toward Kelis, but that doesn’t mean she’s backin’ down at all.
All Kinds of Clap Backs:
With all the drama Nas has addressed, his fans have begun trolling Kelis on social media, but she ain’t taking the pettiness from anybody. A few fans have boldly criticized her for the problems going on in her personal life, but she quickly reminded them that her private life is just that – her private life. One fan wrote:
“Loved u since milkshake! But put ur feelings aside the child is always the one that sees and suffers and he won’t be a child FOREVER never forget that and he will hold you to all he did see and heard that u think he didn’t! Good luck!”
Kelis quickly fired back saying:
“My child is beautiful and safe and very loved. This fight is not about him in actuality. It’s just being made to look like it is. Satan is the father of lies and what’s done in the dark will always come to light. But thanks babe xo”
However, there were a few fans who defended her. One person wrote,
“Hate how people could judge but honestly don’t know the real just like myself lol regular folks be to caught up into these celebrities lives! We don’t know who’s lying but quick to say @kelis is the one doing all the lying.”
Despite the pettiness, the criticism, and all the comments, Kelis isn’t sweatin’ it. She replied,
“People are dumb, and so used to demonizing women that pure logic and honesty escape them. It’s more unfortunate for them then it is for me. I escaped and things look pretty good from where I am. Xoxo”
