Nas: "I Was a Hell of a Husband and Father"
Posted by Media Outrage on July 31st, 2009
Nas spoke out recently about the circus that has surrounded his personal life as of late.
Via AHH:
The latest news involving Nas’ situation with his ex-wife Kelis was deemed as nothing more than “funny s**t” by the rapper, who seemed to be taken aback by the public’s interest in his personal happenings.
Nas’ reaction comes days after the birth of his Knight and rumors surrounding his divorce from Kelis.
Although she filed for divorce in April, Kelis hinted to infidelity on the part of the Queensbridge lyricist with a June 4 post on Twitter, that blasted husbands who cheated on their wives.
Nas, who maintained he never cheated on Kelis, further touted his good standing in the relationship while admitting to some natural shortcomings as human.
“I heard that I was a cheater,” the rapper told Vancouver, Canada’s Georgia Straight newspaper. “It almost sounds like I was a bad husband. Not to say I was the greatest—I’m not perfect in anything I do—but I think I deserve a f***ing trophy. If I do say so myself, without sounding too cocky, I gotta say I was a hell of a husband and a hell of a dad.”
“It’s unfortunate when business is out there about your personal s**t, especially when you’re really not the guy to be having his s**t out there,” Nas said. “The sad thing is, you’ve got to get used to it. My skin is so thick that I probably need to write a book for people who are not ready for anything crazy.”
“It’s funny that someone would even care about some Nasir Jones s**t,” he said. “I’m still that kid from the block at the end of the day.… So when I watch this s**t, it’s surreal. We get a good laugh off it and say, ‘Hey, they’re talking about me again and it’s some funny s**t.’”
Mediaoutrage- Nas is a strong brotha, because after that financial GENOCIDE he took, most men would be downing 40′s until their liver flatlined.

$40 theezy amonth is out of line,I don’t care how much money a man is making he made the money.And a lot of bullshyt came with making that money that she did not deal with .Thats some gold diggin azz shyt.That shyt right there is making it hard on women that come into my life.The entertainment industry is hard there’s no guarentees,no banks to give you a loan nothing.You either find someone on the streets in the game who have a serious cash flow or you get it your self.Either way it’s a struggle.And for her to go in there and ask for that kind of money says something about her.Children or not I would never talk to that BITCH again.We would communicate through my assistant from now until my children turned 18.

NASIR has always seemed like a humble dude….all he can do is take it on the chin like a man!
Just imagine having to pay her $40K a month and then still having to provide for Birthdays, X-Mas, graduations, etc…even though he’s paying all that money, a real man is still going to want to buy his child gifts from time-to-time, besides the normal holidays too.

This statement didn’t really need to happen. The most graceful thing he coulda done was just to say nothing. Ok, so u were a good hubby. So??? Stop airing ur dirty laundry.
