Kelis Opens Up On Violent Relationship & Custody Battle with Nas

[@showlette89]

This is the best Interview Jason Lee has done, he actually let her talk and asked good questions.

[@yamomma6479]

Sasha Howlette And she deserves a 1 on 1, if Alexis Sky had one ,Kelis definitely was due

[@HEAVYCHEVY409]

Sasha, yeah i was going to be upset if he did but he let her talk and she was deep!

[@shanicegabrielle]

I was thinking the same thing and so surprised!

[@babygyrlkatara]

I'm not familiar with him or his interviews, but I felt like he almost wasn't listening half of the time and would ask questions she'd just answered or talked about. That was a little irritating, especially because she was so passionate about her answers.

[@WesuAce06]

This is so real. One thing I have always loved and noticed about Kelis is that despite her separation from Nas you NEVER heard her speak ill of him in the media. I always thought it was because she still loved him and secretly wanted to be back with him, but after this interview it is very clear that she was dealing with a lot of pain. Even in this interview you can see her reliving some of those moments. She is a superstar and I'm so inspired by the strength she displayed during this interview.

[@wigalicious5717]

When she hit the scene she was very vibrant and unique. She was so different and naturally beautiful. I loved everything about her. Nas was my teenage crush, but when I first saw them together I said to myself, I hope he doesn't strip her of everything. Men always want the best woman but don't know how to treat them

[@Jachimma]

She's very empathetic. I've been in a similar situation. She's being kind and he sees it as a weakness. In his head, he is confident that he can disappear or show up whenever he wants and she'll never do anything to harm or his image #narcissism

[@liveish2717]

Jachimma Nwachukwu she has absolutely zero true empathy. Zero. She is a MASTER level narcissist...

[@jacpppp]

[@liveish2717]

[@cocothicknessma]

I am so glad Kelis is doing this. This shows the strength of Black Women and what we costantly have to deal with. NO ONE SHOULD GO THROUGH THIS REGARDLESS OF STATUS.

[@bauthentic333]

Trevette Chambers the problem is that we believe that we have to deal with this 🙄

[@cocothicknessma]

Trey Diggz people are really wanting to give others access to this touchy information. That is probably the issue.

[@liveish2717]

She is a classic narcissist

[@henrinevermind1695]

SHE PLAYED HER PART!!!

[@KinuGoddess777]

Trevette Chambers Same here. Everyone expect Black women to be the barrier for everyone. I didn't flinch when the gossip outlets made a big deal about Kelis large amount of child support. Yet, Tiger Woods White Ex-wife Elin Nordegren received over 700K and no one made a big fuss about the amount.

[@joycesolomon9894]

She's telling her truth..and to her credit she is 5'10 and she could've did some real damage to Nas if she was vengeful..but she knew vengeance is the Lord's & so is the battle.

Jon Harris True, but I'm using logic and facts. In an interview with Funk Flex on HOT 97, Nas said Kelis caught a bad rap, and he retracted his statement that Kelis emptied out the house leaving only the green dress. He said she only took pictures and things that were sentimental to both of them.

[@cuddely03]

Somebody give Jason Lee an Award!!! This was one of the dopest interviews EVER!!! He asked all the right questions, he was a listening ear and he wasn't judgemental. I would have lost it, when she started spilling all that Tea, but he sipped it like a real, G! I love you Jason!!! All respect to Kelis for being honorable, and loyal to a man that wasn't loyal to her. That takes strength! This interview seemed therapeutic for her. I wish her and her family all the best!

[@NJPrinc3]

When she said her son CHOSE to call his stepdad “Papa” that struck a chord with me. My sister took responsibility for our little cousin (aka my niece) when she was practically a newborn. One day, out of nowhere, I think she was about 3 or 4 years old, she started calling my sister “mommy.” And as she got older, when people would correct her, she would explain that she has two moms. A child can recognize when someone takes an active role in their life, no matter what age.

Jason Lee- "Why were you so silent?"

I really enjoyed this interview. I respect her transparency, not once did she place the whole blame on NAS, she took responsibility for the demise of the relationship. I dated a Narcissist, it can get really dark and toxic! You will act out of character etc... Crazy, if she didn't speak about the situation, you would've accepted all the rumors about her; she's crazy, golddigger etc...Once you truly heal from a toxic relationship, become self-aware of who you are, it won't matter what people think about you. People will hurt you, God will heal you. People will humiliate you, God will magnify you. People will judge you, God will justify you. Keep having faith (Kelis) God got you no matter what! Keep Nas lifted up in prayer.

Nicole Clark SHE is a narcissist... CLEARLY.

[@dovely82]

Nicole Clark SHE spent this whole interview TRASHING nas..she took NO accountability. For ANYTHING. Name one thing she said she did wrong.. besides choosing him.

[@liveish2717]

Nicole Clark I'm not saying that nas isn't a narcissist as well. He almost has to be to have gotten to the level he is at.. not all narcissism is bad.. this woman is clearly toxic.. but she hides it very very well like most narcissists typically do. You hit the nail on the head... the vast majority of narcissists can bring out the worst in their victim.. I can guarantee that most of toxic the narcissistic behavior she claims nas has, she helped cause. She literally told on herself at the end. When she said she acted a fool and cursed and screamed at him.. and wanted to punch him in his face... the she caught herself and said " I walked away" then nas left.. she took NO accountability for him leaving.. NONE. this is clear cut narcissism..nas was FORCED to leave because of her TOXIC behavior.. then she trashes HIM for leaving.... masterfully.... THAT'S why he filed. ... I went through the exact same thing.. my kids mom is boriqua too... maybe it's that? I don't know lol. Thankfully i got my kid.. . I hope nas gets his son.

[@dovely82]

LIVE ISH 🤔 sorry did I miss something. She said they were very intense, which cause very intense (high & low) moments. She said “she’s not perfect if he hit, she hits back, she didn’t start it, but didn’t mind finishing it. She’s 5”10 I know how to fight, I’m not weak, very opinionated and a bitch at times” I mean she said a lot!! At the beginning she said “we were just too much” Yes, many of us have narcissistic behavior, no all of it is not bad.

She said there was abuse. She never said he abused her. Thats because she was the violent one. There have been reports out of Atlanta where they lived from restaurant workers and such that say they saw her putting hand on him often. Also, its funny that he just got $30M from a deal selling Ring to Amazon now she popping up wanting more money and now she abused. Not buying it. Because she says it, it doest make it true. No such thing as "her truth" there is only "the truth". Truth is absolute.

Ladies, it would probably mentally benefit you to realize that: 1.) humans in the real world don't "just turn" on you with no prior warning signs. 2.) Needing his money as a matter of life and death BEFORE figuring out he's schizo is a stupid mistake, regardless how common the mistake is made by stupid people. 3.) If we separate time from space, her interview would make sense. But since this didn't happen all in one day, I'm pretty sure she's just bad at finding an appropriate remedy in a timely fashion.
