Carmen Bryan: Nas Stopped Paying Child Support at 20, I'm Not Complaining

Carmen Bryan concludes her interview with VladTV by bringing us up to speed on her current relationship with Nas and their high expectations for their daughter Destiny. "The only reason I'd go at Nas is over Destiny," Carmen says. Carmen also talks about Nas' child support payments, which continued until Destiny was 20, and her upcoming EP which may include a feature from Nas himself. Watch above.

[@grizzd6586]

Nas also has Destiny as an Executive Producer on the Stillmatic Album. She will be getting cheques long after he gone. Real dude.

[@DeMonSpencer]

Nas gives his daughter producer credits on all of his albums. So she doesn't have to rely on an inheritance after his death (which I'm sure she'll get a very sizeable portion of), and she doesn't have to ask for an allowance. Those producer credit residuals can provide a very comfortable life for her. She has a very smart dad.

one of the things that REALLY irks me is when Vlad feels like he has to insert his opinion, sometimes very limited, when the question was supposed to be focused on the guest. Then he takes forever to speak on a point that you already saw coming 10 mins ago. The guest has to wait for him to finally finish. But when the tables are turned, he rushes their answer to get to what he wants to say. I like when people check him on that, because that's super annoying. Like shut the fuck up and let them talk, that's what THEY'RE there for. But I guess when this is the most visible show out right now, people simply deal with it, which kind of sucks to me. Let the people talk Vlad. We watch to hear THEIR story, not yours. Do an audio blog for that.

To be honest, I've always wanted to hear her point of view amongst others. I'd love to hear his pops Olu Dara speak more on his life. I'd love to hear more from L.E.S, Large Pro, Q-Tip, etc...Nas and Jay are fascinating characters. They both held NYC down after Pac and Big died the right way. Obviously, Carmen and Nas and Jay will be forever linked because of Destiny and unborn love children whether publicly or not. You think Jay- doesn't think back on her? You think Nas doesn't pray for her? Ya'll are buggin'. I think it's just dope to visit memory lane to get inside the mind of the artist named Nas. Obviously Nas's strength's lie in his ability to paint pictures and spit street scriptures and she inspired many of his rhymes...besides his mother and brother nobody was closer to him during his rise to fame than her! So she has a story to tell. Yeah, it's in the past but everybody has a right to vent. Ya'll sound mad? Nas has always been private about his life but that doesn't mean other people aren't. To my knowledge based on somebody I know that is in one circle of Nas's is there he and Carmen are cool anyway which is why she probably just decided to come out. Nas is a cash cow again....she has Destiny who is NEVER going to stop being with her mom. Carmen is cool. A bit crazy? Yes, but on the outsider she doesn't seem bitter! Regardless, Nas is going to support his daughter and she is going to support her her mom! I'm sure Carmen can call Nas right now for some condo keys! lol **shoulder shrug**

Jeez !! If you cats don't knock that shit off?!! The greatest thing Nas can do to solidify a safe and secure feeling in Destiny's life is to always---ALWAYS look after her Moms. If you got money, use it to secure what is meaningful to your life. If he allows that girl's mom to be a 👍 what kind of man is she seeing in her Pops? When you have children by a woman, that is a life long attachment. I would never know my child's mom is upside-down in life and not offer my assistance.. God would want it that way... It's just another way to man TF up...
