Nas, Destiny, Kelis, and Olu Dara at the dinner party..
Nas held a black & white inspired ball last night to celebrate the release of his new album “Hip-Hop is Dead.” He kept it all in the family too, because, Kelis, his daughter Destiny, and Olu Dara (his father) were there. Luckily his nasty ass baby mama didn’t get an invite.

Kelis with her sister, mother, and step-daughter. Cute.
MORE PEOPLE AT THE EVENT
Jay-Z, Beyonce, Julito McCullum (The Wire!)
Nina Sky, Nik (what’s up with that pose girl?), and Ja-Rule..
what the hell is kelis doing with her dam hair?
someone ppl shouldnt go blond, and she is one of those people.
I was there! it was really nice.
I think Kelis looks so happy to be with Nas. I read that nasty book by Carmen–pure comedy! It’s damn shame she’s all worried about what who she was doing might affect her daughter Destiny. From the looks of this party, it’s looks like everyone had fun. Even Nas crack a smile here and there. Kelis’s new blonde hair used to bother me but I respect her for changing up her style.
I don’t think Nik looks that bad.
Kelis looks a little washed out.
Did Jay tie his tie wrong?
LMAO@ Kelis sister… They look just alike.
Wtf at that red outfit Kelis is wearing! Not a good look at all!
Kelis and her sister look just alike – damn.
The step daughter is cute too.
She takes after her daddy, that’s for damn sure.
YES KELIS. GIVE US WHAT WE NEED. I LIVE for the Blondie/Marilyn Monroe coif you are giving us. She looks BEAUTIFUL. Where is the washed out? You must mean Busta, who is really in need of a facial and Retin A. To have so much money and to go out with yellow, buttery teeth and spotted skin, is beyond me.
JA RULE WHO? NINA WHO? Bottom line. Kelis, her sister, and Nas crushed this fellowship from the looks of these pictures. Anyone who says differently just cant get over their distaste for Kelis’ eclecticism.
what’s up with these folks showing up to a formal event in sportwear? Busta Rhymes and Ja-Rule are getting too old to be making these social mistakes, and it has nothing to do with their color or what genre of music they favor.
They look happy together, something that is good to see in hip hop
That blonde is very bright on Kelis.I think she wears the black better with that cut.Everyone looks the usual;like they having a good time of course. I thought Ja Rule had vanished from the earth!
I don’t see why people is surprised about Kelis changing her hair she’ has been blonde with pink at the tips blonde with blue at the tip….she has been honey blonde brown….this isn’t something new she’s is good for that…I like her style….and I’m glad she’s being the bigger person in the situation with her step daughter cause the baby mama is a true hater….
love kelis in the red outfit! She’s channeling her inner-marilyn monroe in the black outfit.
Damn, beyonce looks cock-eyed in this pic.
Nas is finally smiling…awww
Jayz looks unkemp. what’s up with that?
Nik from antm looks atrocious and hideous as usual..
I luv nina sky..when’s the new cd? the same for ja-rule.
Who ever invited Nik (who ever she is) should have told her that is a classy event. She looks like she is about to go to the club. I know it’s an after five party but it was not held at CLUB BOUNCE THAT ASS!
Busta! Dress up. At least business casual.
Everyone else looks nice. Now I see why athletes have to dress up for all “business related events”. Most people do not know how to properly dress for certain events.
Kelis eyebrows are throwing me off…..?
Why does it look like someone threw Kool-Aid all over his suit! I love the chairs they are sitting. They would be hot for a photoshoot.
Stepmommy dearest Kelis “NO WIRE HANGERS!!!
What a beautiful family! His daughter is such a pretty young lady, its too bad what her mother is doing to her though. I don’t like my daughters father that much either, but hell if I embarrass my daughter trying to get to her dad.
These folks need to start dressing up for these posh events and stop wearing an outfit that they might wear to their cousin Ree-Ree’s backyard barbeque party.
I’d never seen a pic of Nas’ daughter…she doesn’t look at all like I imagined.
I love Nas and Kelis together. They seem like such a chill, laid-back ass couple. He is so incredibly delicious!!
100% agree w/whoever said Busta and JaRule need to get they shit together. I’m should have enough class by now to know how to clean up nicely!!
Leave it to Busta to show up at a formal event rockin Mitchell & Ness. Everyone looks great though.
@GRLNVA
I LUV YOU HAIR! VERY SEXY!!
Nice. Even nicer how Jay Z and Nas have buried the hatchett. This further proves my point of how dumb “beefs” are. Who knows maybe Big and Pac would be best friends if still alive….
@22 thank you. Real hair is makin a comeback! LOL
No No No. Not feeling anybody’s look.
Nas & Kelis – um o.k. do you I guess
Jay & Beyonce – Look like they need a vacation
NinaWho? – Next
Ja-Rule & Busta – Yall don’t own a suit? Come the fu#$@ on!
kelis looks stunning. and nas looks handsome, his suit is really funky.
JAY-Z LOOKS 75 YEARS OLD. EEEWW.
I love his CD! Everybody looks nice but Kelis’s hair! JEEZ she needs to go back brown..
Damn I rsvped too late, look nice
Kelis looks like a lodge sister from the eastern stars!
Kelis looks amazing as usual! Too see her with Destiny is amazing, that’s a good look! I know Carmen is mad the spotlight isn’t on her this week, but it’s ok everyone has their turn 2 shine! I love Beyonce but I wish she could look more youthful because those dry curls were just not the best look…love her though! Glad too see Ja’ showing his face, everyone just lloked fabulous!
Isnt Destiny like 10? Then y the hell does she look so dayum grown. Who thought it was cute to dress a ten-yr old up in make up and have her looking like a high-priced whore.
SHAME ON THEM ALL….ofcourse she is adorable, but still….that is NOT a good look for her at that age…she’s not 20…she’s 10!!!!!!!! SHAME ON NAS AND KELIS FOR DRESSING HER THAT WAY AND LETTING HER WEAR MAKE UP!!!!!!!!
it looks like it was fun.. congrats to nas for bringin hip hop back.
Thats the worst pic of Beyonce I have ever seen.
KELIS AND NAS MAKE A REALLY CUTE COUPLE. IT SEEMS LIKE HIS DAUGHTER EVEN LIKES HER.
THE BLONE HAIR IS A LITLLE MUCH. BUT THAT KELIS AND IF SHE LIKES IT I LOVE IT (I GUESS)
I love this couple!!! They look genuinely happy.
KELIS – She is trying to hard with the whole “Old Hollywood Glam” look.
DESTINY – She is cute, but her name is not. I hate name that are words.
NAS – Although I’m not a fan, CONGRATS! Not many can survive in the game that long.
JAY-Z – THE STAR OF THE SHOW!
NINA SKY – Cute!
JA-RULE – Forget all about him! Welcome back!
I’m so sorry guys, I really tried to keep my comments positive and strictly bout Nas & Kelis, but I just can’t keept it in anymore…
Bee, you really need to retire that lacefront…
it does look like they get along quite well, though. But, as time goes on that may change, Kelis was talkin’ wreckless about that girl’s mother in a mag recently….no matter how much they love you or how close u are, if u talk bad about a someone’s mama, u may see a whole new side come out of them.
still SMH at that choice of everything on ZDestiny…its too dayum grown…call me old scholl but its too much for her.
@GRLNVA
I sent you a note
Had never seen Nas’s daughter til this and she’s very cute…Nas and Kelis looks very happy together….I don’t understand the deal with Nas/Carmen/Jay-Z
I Agree with ya’ll. Busta and JaRule! what the hell’s wrong with them? it’s a formal event. Everybody else is in either a suit and tie or a nice gown. Busta and Jarule are too damn grown to keep dressing like they still 16 years old.

LMAO!! I definitly agree with you. Nik take off that stripper hoe shirt and dress more conservatative, damn. In any minute she’ll be passin’ out lap dances, lol
WTF @ kelis, y’all delusional if u think that hair color looks good on kelis, coz she looks a hot mess, i hope she goes back to a dark hair color,coz platinum blonde AIN’T for her
is that nina sky chick on the left pregnant?
the other looks better, in spite of them being twins.
anywho.
sometimes kelis looks like rain pryor.
im a fan, im just saying.
they r a beautiful couple.
nas and kelis, that is.
i know carmen was heated that she didn’t get an invite.
-1-
LOL at #17…..Kelis seems like she’d be a cool mom to have.
@ 28 I agree with you! But anyway, I love how Kelis reps her man! They are a hot couple doing their thing (Even though I still want Nas!) And although I love Kelis style, I am just not feeling the way her hair is styled with this color. But hey, thats Kelis for you, most people wont like her style because they couldn’t rock it or most people will love it! Destiny is 12 and she looks cute….I am sure she doesn’t wear make-up all day because she is cute without it.
By the way CL these pics are hot, but YBF did have 2 caption this pics of Jay Beyonce & Kelis! But well done because I was searching.
Well, I guess I stand corrected…his album did drop.
Congrats!!!!!!!
Now on to the “hating”
Nas’ jacket screams STD to me
Kelis looks horrible
Why the fvk is that lil cute girl wearing a wig (btw…anonymous…I agree w/u….ppl dont think n e more kids are kids for a reason…and im new school)
Beyonce looks washed out
They all seem happy.
I love Kelis, but seriously, this hair is atrocious!!! I mean her eyebrows are a totally different color! Looks awful, and with a dress so busy at the top, she didn’t need that necklace. Nice that Destiny’s out with her dad though. She’s a cute girl. Nas always looks high. Where’d they dig Nina Sky up from? Random! I would like to see Beyonce’s dress in full. Jay looks lost as usual. WTF @ Nik’s getup.
#1&2 set of pics looks good.3&4 set of pics looks a hot ass mess,just been real,lol
Very Nice -
@40, a note when?
Is NAS on drugs?
she is an eastern star DCHOICE
I would love to see Beyonce’s real hair done. Just once.
I am a kelis fan but she looks a mess.
Nas looking good.
You old hags need to leave that lil girl alone. Shes not your kid. ugh. and Congrats to NaS for making the hottest hip hop album this year.
@46—that is a style that I would not rock on my death bed…it’s horrible. Why is it that ppl have to not like her style just b/c they couldnt rock it? It’s just not a good look for her. I see girls and women everyday rocking similar things and they pull it off much better than she does….this style just wasn’t made for her.
She cut off all her gorgeous black full hair for a lop-sided mohawk…and now this….its unforgiveable…she’s trying too hard…and it shows horribly. What will she do next??? Ppl who try to grasp the attn of other TOO HARD will go to extreme measure to get attention.
So, I guess when her ass is rocking a baldy w/ drawm-on pictures on her dome, then those of us who dislike it will be disliking it, simply b/c we “cant rock it”?
Im not bumrushing you….you said a lot of good things, but that comment stuck out like a sore thumb…I just dont think that she is the end-all and be-all of style. Their are legacies of ppl w. real style who have immensely lucrative clothing lines and professions to prove it. She is quirky and off-beat…it just so happens right now that that is “IN”…the phase will fade.
Well said Anonymous, Kelis’ comments were reckless in the latest issue of Vibe Vixen. I actually read Carmen’s book and the events described about her and Nas’s past did not seem fabricated. Everyone is criticizing the flings stated in Carmen’s book and how it will later affect her daughter. Let’s not forget about Nas’ lyrics….oops I guess because they rhyme, it’s cute.
Ummm, maybe Nik actually won ANTM!? LOL
Busta, nice black and white….very nice.
@ 55—School lets out Friday, right??? Oh, I guess ur on the computer in ur library during ur lunch break. Plz drink ur milk and go to your next period (if ur even in middle school or high school).
IM NOT FEELIN THE NECKLINE ON DESTINY’S DRESS. TOO MUCH FOR HER AGE. NOT A GOOD LOOK. LAST THING SHE NEEDS IS TO DRAW COMPARISONS TO HER SKANK ASS MOTHER. SHES A CUTE LIL GIRL THO.
LOVE KELIS IN THE RED. NAS LOOKS GOOD TOO.
JAY LOOK USED UP AND STRESSED OUT. PROLLY TOOK A LOOK AT THE CHARTS.
WHO INVITED HIGH ASS JA-FOOL? HE JUST RUINED IT FOR ME.
