Speaking Truth
When Nas and Kelis broke up, fans never really let it go. News of the couple became one-sided, as Kelis opted out of interviews and the bright public spotlight.
However, such was not the case when the mom-of-two sat down with Hollywood Unlocked. “I have edited myself for nine years, and I woke up this morning and was like ‘Not today,'” she said.
After waiting “nine years to say anything,” Kelis revealed that her ex-husband Nas physically abused her. As she matter-of-factly put it: “Did he hit me? Mhm. Did I hit him back? Mhm.”
