VIA DX:

After remaining relatively quiet on the subject of his divorce from R&B singer Kelis, Nas has issued some of his first quotes about the matter. In an interview published on the Vancouver, BC Web site, Straight.com, Nas refutes accusations of cheating and defends his parenting skills.

“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,” Nas said. “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.”

After being married in 2005, various news sources reported Nas and Kelis were headed for a divorce in April. Kelis confirmed the news with a message from her Twitter account about infidelity [click to read]. She has since given birth to the pair’s son, Knight, and been awarded over $45,000 in combined spousal and child support [click to read].

“I heard that I was a cheater,” Nas told Straight.com. “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.”

Nas‘ full interview with Straight.com, which also includes information about his Distant Relatives album with Damian Marley, is available here.

    Well I Couldn’t Agree More, It Sounds Like Nas Is A Good Husband and Dad But… Yes Why Do Men Gotta Cheat I Agree That If Yo Relationship Just Ain’t Workin Den Call It Quits And Then Go And Have Sex With Who Eva U Want! But At Tha Same Tyme Kelis Wasn’t Really That Public So It’s Unfair 2 Say Dat She’s Crazy; However, If U wanna Talk About Crazy Azz B!tches Den Look At Rihanna Wit Her Voodoo Stuff And Shyt! Tha One Thang I Hope Is That Kelis Allows Nas 2 See His Child and That She Doesn’t Become One Of Those Females Who Talk Down 2 Their child About Their Dad! And Liksewise I Hope Dat Nas Doesn’t Become One Of Deez Complaining Dead Beat Dads Talkin Trash Bout Da Woman He Once Loved and Was Married too!

    ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IS THAT WE DONT KNOW EVERYTHING ONE MINUTE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP THAT THEY WERE HAVING SEX SO MUCH AND PLEASURING EACH OTHER SO GOOD THEY HAD TO MAKE A SEPARATE AREA FOR THEIR ESCAPADES, THEN THEY MADE A SONG ABOUT, WHEN HE WANT IT HE BLINDFOLDS ME, THEN I GET SEXY ON HIM GET SEXY ON HIM, THAT RING A BELL. SO WE DONT KNOW THE WHOLE STORY, HELL HONESTLY I HATE THAT THEY ARE DIVORCING BECAUSE THEY MADE A GREAT COUPLE. PLUS I DO BELIEVE THAT NAS IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL FATHER. JUST HATE THEY DIVORCE.

    i am a women and personally i think 45g’s a month is ridiculous. i understand the spousal support, and the child support but how did they come up with those figures. she has a career, she makes money so where is the need for them to require that amount of his money. in my opinion the system dont care about the women (kelis in this case) the judge (whom is a part of the system) was just looking at this situation as an opportunity to stick it to nas. why? because nas is one of those real rappers like 2 pac, and jadakiss he raps about things that affect him, and people in the community. he (nas) sheds light on polical issues, his music makes people think, and ask question and they (the system) would like nothing more than for him, and people like him to go bank rupture and fall off the face of this earth. i mean look at the tyrese divorce she came out with pretty much what she went in with, which was nothing so why is nas being financially raped?

    on another note these women know what there getting themselves into when they marry a famous person especially when they live the life because they themselves are in the industry. they are aware of all the groupies, and travling these men deal with, so why act surprised and run for a divorce when you find that the groupies have caugh up to you. people should simply avoid marriage when dealing with fame, and or simply just deal with it (the issues). i in no way shape form or fashion condone cheating, or sleeping around, and i hate women who sleep with men knowing they have a family, wife, or a girl but fact is when your famous, or have money the men are more targeted and they could have the purest intentions on being faithful however these women are beast, and men are weak when it comes to fighting temptation. so when or if you decide to get married in the industry you have to have tough skin, and keep the attitude “he’s mine you may have had him once but i got him all the time”.
    marriage is becoming a joke people are taking it too lightly. it’s suppose to be a forever bond through thick and thin, death do you part. people should not be getting married 3 & 4 times. my message is take the ring off the platter for awile, stop rushing into marriage. date until you know what you can, and cannot handle because divorce is becoming way to prominent. people are changing partners like they change there cloths (which is very often).

    doctors lawyers even dead beats cheat. men and women. but to be honest the most painful thing in the world is if u didn’t and u still go through a f**ked up relationship. U do deserve a trophy homie

    To hell with a trophy….I think you deserve an offshore account…..55K a month?…..You need to get shared parenting my man or go back beggin…..cuz aint no honey worth that kind of money

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/producer6tray/ producer6tray

    Men and women both cheat equally. Unfortunately we still equate good sex with a good or potentially good marriage, which is nothing more than a title if he/she is NOT first a good Friend or Guardian of your love. Hence the term HOMEY, LOVER , FRIEND, NOT A STRANGER OR STRANGE PIECE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blkpuddn/ blkpuddn

    LOOKS LIKE SUMBDY DOWN THERE IS A LIL BITTER! LOL ANYWAY ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS REALLY WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP…I SURE DON’T!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DaintyJen/ DaintyJen

    ummmm @ DigitalBreeze….you need to get over whatever you been through because you are no different than a bitter black woman, go slap yourself or jump off a building with that stupid ignorant comment. Don’t drag down women like me because youve been done wrong, but like Tyler Perry said, “There are always signs, pay attention”. Anywhoz, I can care less what happened between Kelis and Nas, but I think it is ridiculous that she gets that much money monthly. Kinda makes you wonder what she told the judge lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DON_RICH/ DON_RICH

    S**t! She got caught cheating on Nas with a rapper with ruff ryders name Infa Red. Dude put it on tape (the Kelis sex tape) made while they were married. But I guess thats water under the bridge. I wonder did the judge is that? No woman deserves that much money,Unless its alot of kids she is taking care of (6 or more).

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ms_cluvly/ ms_cluvly

    For those of you that do not know..the 45k she gets every month is based on Nas monthy income during the time they married. No judge really cares how much it really takes to raise a child. The fact of the matter is…this is what celebrities go through durring divorces. Just know that there are two sides to every story and people just don’t get divorces out the blue for no reason at all. Things do happen. Its just sad that they did not work things out. But again he is a rapper and he was the bread winner durring the time they were married thus she gets spousal support and being that they have a child yes she gets child support.

    it comes with the territory………

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Whos_GiNa/ Whos_GiNa

    I know this STORY is about Nas and whats her face…but DBreeze…what FEMALE did you so wrong to make you say such things about ALL women? ALL of us ARE NOT LIKE THAT!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BigBoston/ BigBoston

    I think mz knightowl is trying to justify the fact that she is a money grubbin hoe she wants to be like super head do ya thang b***h

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ms_real2008/ ms_real2008

    Ok DigitalBreeze, we see that you’re a bitter black man who probably dates women outside of his race or you’re gay. If you do date women outside of your race, watch what happens when she leaves your ass, who will you go back to then? A BLACK WOMAN! Another puffy in the making, ashamed of his race! pitiful, i feel sorry for you.
    The actions of one person does not reflect the actions of everyone. You know you don’t like it when other races discriminate you based on your color because of the actiona of 1 person, so why do it to women?

    All in all, i think the amount the judge gave Kelis was excessive and 50K a month is not necessary for a baby.

    P.S DigitalBreeze: Women aren’t the only ones who sometimes mess up a relationship, men are just as guilty. Its a double edge sword for both sexes!

    MZ_KNIGHTOWL: If you were really going to cash that check or spend it on a new car every month, then you’re a wasteful person who doesn’t derserve s**t! You would be the one to wast money on stupid s**t instead of helping another who’s probably in a worse position than you.
    How tacky!

    To Nas saying that…CHEERS! The man deserves credit. Kelis lost my respect. I used to like her but she is foul. She did God Son dirty.

    She ain’t poor, what she need to take it to court and get a check for? Nas and her both grown, I’m sure he would do for their child without a court mandated check. Women really need to stop using the legal system to hurt our brothas.
