Kelis Addresses Nas’ “Life Is Good” Cover Art: “For Someone To Be Genuine Is Awesome”

    Earlier this month, when Nas revealed the cover art to his upcoming album, Life Is Good, it featured a picture of the Queensbridge emcee sitting with his ex-wife Kelis’ green wedding dress on his lap.

    In a recent interview with NME, Kelis gave her opinion on her ex-husband’s choice for his album’s cover art. 

    “My feelings about it are not relevant, but at the end of the day, Nas is an artist,” explained Kelis. “And for whatever it’s worth, he’s one of the greatest, especially for what it is that he does.”

    Kelis continued, adding that the choice in art showed an honest side of Nas that she appreciated, while adding a careful caveat. “For me, I feel like, especially for someone in Hip Hop, to really kind of be genuine and honest – whatever the honesty is about – I think it’s awesome.”

    “My feelings about it aren’t necessarily valid, it’s just the fact that, as an artist, I can respect that he wears his feelings on his sleeve. I like that.”

    1. why do i gotta watch that retarded mountain dew ad everytime i try to watch a video on this site, thats pretty gay

      i guess since she taking all his money the least she could do is say something nice about him and his album cover

      1. Yeah I wholeheartedly agree , the dirty bitch was condescending and trying to imply “for what he does as an artist” shit was madd negative. But thats all right tho- Nas may not believe in Jesus christ but after dealing with Kelis he will know that the devil does exist in spirit if not anything else. I am hating the person who asked her to comment at all

    2. Fuck that gold-digging hoe. She ruined Nas’ life. In the words of Kurupt, don’t turn a hoe into a housewife.

      1. how did she ruin his life? theres more to life than money and it sounds like he owes more in taxes than shes getting anyways

      1. Beyonce isn’t attractive to me. I watch her interviews and she seems a little dumb….Plus, I’m not feeling the yellow weave. Kelis is much better…She would be perfect if she wasnt a goldigger.

      2. Beyonce is aight, Jay got killed on Ether son so go kill yourself over your Jay is better than Nas comment.

      3. I love how Nas stans ALWAYS have to refer to an 11 year old diss song…the beef is long-dead nigga, get over it.

      4. the ridiculous nas stans still bringing up ether. whose other rapper’s career highlight is a diss track? lmao. jay killed nas by signing him. you should take your own advice.

    3. kelis does not deserve to be interviewed or thought of. Kelis, Superhead, and Amber Rose should give lessons on how to nothing but be a hoe.

    4. 50cent predicted it “Kelis said her milkshake bring all the boys to the yard, then Nas went, and tattooed the bitch on his arm”.lol Nas use ur fucking head.I respect ur music,but be a good business man.lool.

      1. Nas have this bitch tattooed on his arm?!?! Well, after that he doesn’t deserve to date anymore ho and doesn’t deserve to have arms as well

      2. Niggahs stop frontin; it aint bad to fall in love…shoot ya’ll sucked some toes and licked bootyhole and fell in love once too- and aint burnt fried spam sandwiches and other crazy shit’- You got to peep game tho- you can’t always tell a lazy ho cause Kelis was working- so imagine us other niggahs that lay up with regular chicks who get pregnant just the same way- At least she had a goal and pursued it but she still a ho….

    5. U guys should jst leave kelis alone. I mean she hasn’t said anything wrong here. Besides u guys don’t knw wat happnd btwn dem.

      1. Get the f up out of here Kelis career was fading and by being with Nas he almost kept her alive- she is like one of the chicks in Escape or Total- there is nothing interesting about her except a fat ass; Well thats not all that bad…(you know we dudes love a tight lil pussy that chicks with fat asses have) but moving along….(smile) her fan base is not like it used to be- she spent all her time trying to be Mrs. Jones, and her goal was not working. Shit sherlock- this aint Jay Z and Beyonce and Beyonce still got work in the mix, Kelis is a bumb baby momma

    6. This bitch just trying to get him more album sales so he can keep payin child support on time.. she is not relevant and should have never spoken about the cover.

    7. Basically she realized Nas sells more copies than her and is now trying to get back to him in order to stay relevant.

    8. The thing of it is that Kelis needs to suck on my dick while I head-fuck the shit out of dat slaG and maybe smack her on the face a little too. She’s my momma and I’m a mmmmmMMMMotherfucka so momma let me turn you into a momma-been-FuCKtA

    9. Why does Kelis voice always sound so dry and horse? It makes me cringe…. I wonder if thats from smoking…

    10. she is a lazy bitch with a small amount of talent. she want them checks and they get fatter with the more money nas make. why wouldnt she be political about the situation. nas fareal is a bithch ass nigga i bet and probrably deserve what he gettin but i cant respect a lazy bitch. she more than likely thought to her self that she was gon live off this nigga before she divorced him. think about it. she did.

      1. seriously hoo the flyin fuck ever say Kray is washed up don’t wanna live no more therefore they deserve to die

    11. They both knew what they we’re fuckin gettin’ into Kelis even had Nas in the Milkshake video then he goes & tells her about his wild adventures in Remember the Times

      HAHA

      1. Stop bitching about the tracklist. It’s already set in stone. Don’t like it, don’t buy the album.

    13. Man- you should never ask a ex- baby momma to cover any work of the person she used to be with. This gold digger threw a dagger like she was trying to compliment Nas. Its obvious her 15 minutes of fame has dimmed so leeching on to
      nas is bitter sweet for him- at least he got a son out the deal…Church!

    14. it is simple no Genuine there all he is saying is life is good now that she is Gone out of his life, it real easy and simple
