Kelis has claimed that Nas currently owes her money and ruled out a reconciliation with her ex-husband.
Responding to a social media user who urged the former couple to “double back” and “give love another chance,” the singer quickly shot down hopes that they would get back together.
“Stop, it was 15 years ago. Do you want your ex from almost 2 decades ago?” she replied in an Instagram comment.
After another commenter said: “Give Nas his bread back,” Kelis responded: “Lol he owes me actually, get outta here, only a loser is worried about someone else’s money lol please.”
Kelis and Nas had a very bitter divorce in 2010 that signaled the end of their seven-year marriage.
She later detailed their tumultuous relationship and accused the rap legend of physical abuse.
“We had like really intense highs and really intense lows,” she told Hollywood Unlocked in 2018. “It was never normal. The intense high would be like money was rolling in.
“We were young, too. I was 22 when I met him. I was a baby. We were drinking too much, smoking too much. We were too much. We were spending too much. We were balling out of control. It was all just too much.”
She added: “We lived hard and so because of that, when that comes down, it goes really low — as low as possible. So it’s hard ’cause there’s no balance. There’s no normalcy.”
“It was really dark,” Kelis continued. “There was a lot of drinking and a lot of mental and physical abuse. We would fight. I never just sat there but we would definitely fight.
“I’ve waited nine years to say anything. The amount of airing out I could do — and I’ve chosen not to — our kids will find out. They’re finding out now. I’ve never painted myself as a saint. Did he hit me? Mmmhm. Did I hit him? Mmmhm.
Nas later addressed the allegations in a lengthy Instagram post, writing: “I’m tired of you painting a bad picture of me. I’ve been tired of it but you never seem to get tired. I even had to be in a relationship with you AGAIN after we separated just so i could see my son & I AM JUST TIRED.
“Back then you asked me why didn’t i stop the divorce from happening. I tried! We are too different. Some things aren’t meant to be. We were meant to be so that we could have our son. Nothing more.”
The former couple share a 14-year-old son named Knight Jones, over whom they were embroiled in a bitter custody battle until reaching an agreement in early 2018.
Calling yourself a “baby” at 22 is a way to side step accountability. Sounds like another case of girl math.
While I get your point, I have nieces and nephews who are old enough to legally drink but are half my age. Are they “babies”? No. But they certainly don’t have the same level of maturity and understanding as as my old ass. I think she more meant she was a lot more immature then… which is true for all of us old folk.
She said she was a baby because she was (compared to her old age now). You live and you learn and I am proud that she has taken ownership with the physical abuse.
I hear Kelis living with a white man now, just like Eve. Didn’t this bish date Bill Murray too. That’s muffed up.
Translation. Kelis is broke again.
That’s what happens when her abusive ex blackballed her.
I believe Kelis 100% as nas is an asshole to everyone. Not just an abusive asshole but one that got his ass handed to him by HOV
Jayz ain’t do shit but sleep with underage girls. Ether busted his azz!
Nas got his a$$ handed to him by Hov? Lol, u must be on shrooms and oblivious to the realities of the rap game. When has Jay ever hand Nas his behind? I like Jay bt didn’t Nas ether his a$$? Smh
She looks like a horse. Nas is a cuck and a sucker.
She is in the motherland at present, prowling around, but without her kids.
Now leave Nas alone. Get your own money,
Kelis want her big $30 million payday like Cassie!
Nas worth 100 million+ and seems to be in a very good space given his music output . Doubt he’s cares
