Throughout her acting career that’s lasted for more than 20 years, Nia Long has been sort of an obsession for prominent figures in the Hip Hop industry. Not only is it her perpetual beauty, but her roles in iconic movies like Boyz n the Hood and Friday have solidified her spot in Hip Hop history and Black culture.
On Friday (December 13), the 49-year-old took to Instagram decked out in a crewneck plastered with Nas’ 2007 XXL cover, amassing several thousand likes a pop. Long posted not one or two, but three consecutive photos rocking the sweater featuring the Illmatic legend.
“Still ill,” read the caption of one of the posts.
And of course, Nasty Nas himself took notice in the comments section. “U da illest!” replied Nas.
This isn’t the only time Nas and Long have been intertwined. On Nas’ 2001 track “Oochie Wally,” Horse of Bravehearts raps, “Like Nia Long in a cherry thong with the lights on.” And in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in 2016, Long even admitted that she actually went out and purchased a cherry thong after first hearing that line.
The popular actress has also been name dropped in songs by rappers like JAY-Z, Missy Elliott, J. Cole and more.

I’d still give her one
hahaha straight to the point haha
Thirsty and old…
How she’s thirsty? And 49 is old idiot
49 is only old to children. It’s actually around middle aged, not old.
Dam she can’t like men anymore only young women can like guys anymore… isn’t Nas about the same age as me along if not older? Why do y’all go so hard on black women?
Well said.
Bet she look better if you post your pic lol
Idiot! Thirsty wearing a sweatshirt! Really… how dumb are you? You are such a bum a—
I’m 51 and dated a 34 yrs old and I’m the best thing he ever slept with. Now he’s asking me to teach his now girlfriend the trick ????so check yourself dude
So beautiful…. Lawd Jesus, all these years this lady is still the baddest! Cannot even go wrong with the GOAT sweatshirt on… my main man Nas! He is the illest!
I would give her the business real talk. Beautiful woman… whoever the dude she dates or married to is a lucky man! Love natural black women.
Its a stan moment. She did play Roxanne Roxanne. Maybe he has a new movie coming out and she is playing in it?
She is beautiful and she will be always be beautiful and a very nice woman
Honestly i think they’d make a power couple. She’s raw and he’s a rap legend. It’s been more stupider couples out there, I say they should at least try it; we only live once.
She is beautiful!!
STOP HAITTING HATER!!
no one stays young forever let’s just see if you can have a long successful career like her or do you even have a career I’ll answer that probably not ?
When Nia Long is “smiling” her facial expression look like she smelling a fart
She probably will look better than you on her worst day smell that stop the hating b****
Well since you mentioned it. Your kinda of right.
Funny cuz Nas just said he wanted to move on from Illmatic and that cover was from when he dropped Hip Hop Is Dead…sort of a backhanded compliment LOL Still Dreaming is FIRE
