Nasir “Nas” Jones, 34, and Kelis Rogers-Jones, 28, were featured in the newest issue of Fashion Rocks Magazine. The stylish couple talked about how they met and about their new MTV reality show. I just love these two!
ON BEING FOLLOWED BY CAMERAS
Sometimes I feel like ‘This is cool, man; I have TV cameras following me everywhere I go,’ he says sipping a margarita from a plastic cup. “Other times I want to crawl under a rock.” His mouth turns down stubbornly. “I feel like an idiot – ‘Did I really agree to this?’ It feels self-absorbed and self-indulgent.”
“It’s going to be great, baby,” says Kelis in the calming tones of someone used to this conversation. “It has to be great, because if it’s not great we won’t let them put it on TV.”
NAS SAYS KELIS STEPPED HIS FASHION GAME UP
“Before I met Kelis, I wore Gucci or whatever was hot,” says Nas, with admiration in his eyes. “I didn’t dress badly, because there’s no excuse to disrespect the gods of the stage with some bummy shit: I always say you better rob, cheat, or steal threads to look good up there because hip-hop is about being fresh from your head to toes. But this is a whole different level. Kelis has really made me get my spirit up and step up my clothes game.”
Big thanx to Patryk over at Ultimate Kelis for the scans. Make sure you check out the site for the full article.

GOOD PHOTOSHOOT
THEY LOOK LIKE A COUPLE THAT DONT WASH UP.
GET IN THE SHOWER AND SHUT UP
I LOVE THEM AS A COUPLE!! i mean she’s not the best singer but she’s ok and nas is the shit since illmatic, i’m not sure about their ‘reality tv show’ but i’m a recovering reality tv addict so i might still watch.
Didnt know nas had soooo many tats!!
I like that first shot, that’s nice.
I think Im seeing another Jessica and Nick. DIVORCE!!
Love that 1st pic
@3 wtf? how u get that from a pic?

Yes Nas, you should feel like an idiot b/c that’s what you are for Camera’s into your personal life.
I can’t wait for the show!!!
A good look ,i love these two.A real power couple.kelis and nas are both my favs.:}Living hollywood without being over exposed like a certain “joe camel” and a” blonde front lace”:P
Might I add Nas is all kinds of fine ! lol
Damn People find anything to hate on. I Love them. You can tell they are really in love. Haters keep waitin 4 a divorce it ain’t happenin
I love them as a couple as well!!!
I hope this television show doesn’t break them apart like other couples…
#7 I agree reality tv hasn’t been kind to married couples. They seem strong they will make it.
Nas looks and acts like a sucker,it’s quite evident that Kelis is the one who wears the pants in their relationship.
Chea!
I just love these two as a couple.
Loving this couple. The look good in the first picture.
Kelis need Fantasia’s “super” perm for that kitchen…WTF she fly but she always a lil off
I like them, but they bore me.
They both look Fly. Especially Kelis. Im feeling the very first picture. It has this classic but mod appeal to it. I pray they make it because reality tv couples rarely make it. They seem so happy and the love is geniuenly there.
one of the hottest couple of all time…..that is all
lol @ 17…..nas and kelis make a great couple, i will be watching the show when it comes out.
My favorite Hip Hop couple…hands down!!!!
well they my 5th favorite couple lol
THEY LOOK GOOD TOGETHER. I HOPE THEY DON’T GET THE REALITY TV DIVORCE JINX.
@ 17 INTRESTING NAME
Ya’ll are some serious lames for hatin on them i swear!!! Ya’ll can find any litle thing to pick on but anyways they have to be one of my favorite couples. You never truly hear about negative shit goin on in their relationship. You can tell they got their shit together and you can tell they are in Love…and thats whats its all about well except if its Usher and Maneka ofcourse!
They look great, and I love them as a couple, but WTF @ Nas tellin’ folks they better “rob, cheat or steal” to look good? Come on, now. *rolls eyes* As though we need anymore foolishness in our communities.
4 those who is waiting for the divorce i suggest you wait for change from a penny …..
they seem really in love
i mean *who are *sorry about the grammar i was watching we got to do better
I am surprised they admit to being scarred about the outcome of the show. I mean if ur fabulous ur fabulous but we all kno Kelis and Nas are crazy mofos. So they may have a reason to want to hide under rocks at times. But hell y not come out like all the rest of the crazy reality shows and just bang it. Let it all hang out. If ur gonna do it, do that ish like Whitney and Bobby.
aww…how sweet and the pics are hot ofcourse
That’s whassup
#29 He said he USED to think like that. Like in his Illmatic days of course, He’s a thug & a rapper from the hood. That ain’t nothin new
I love Nas and Kelis, so cute so right, nuff said. The one has spoken.
“I always say you better rob, cheat, or steal threads to look good up there because hip-hop is about being fresh from your head to toes. But this is a whole different level. Kelis has really made me get my spirit up and step up my clothes game”
nothing in that quote says USED to ,so get your shit together before coming at someone. why are you so worried anyways are you into men . let people make thier commments and you make yours. i had to call you out for being a smartass and was dead ass wrong though.
I love them . Hottest couple in the game.
ii ReaLLii wiiShh dEm dA beStt cuSz wE ALL nOee dA MTV ReaLiitY shOw cUrSee
Nas and Kelis all day everyday!!! They’re a hot couple.
@ 20…since when is Bone Straight hair attractive..I think Kelis looks fab because she rocks her natural curl and doesn’t need a tacky lil perm to feel pretty..Fantasia should try upgrading to a natural herself, cuz a perm looks like a PERM>>Not cute
really beautiful photography. and i think they really complement each other well.
BTW Kelis has a Gorgeous grade of hair and just about gorgeous everything else..representing for the darker toned mixed pple, showing that Black comes in all shades and cultures..LOVE HER!!!
LOVE IT. FAB!
I pray that the MTV curse skips them because that would be a true shame.
They look FLY.
KELIS IS THE SHIT!!! HER AND NAS ARE THE QUIET POWERFUL COUPLE. THEY SEEM REAL. THAT’S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THEM. OH BY THE WAY,..KELIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I’M LOVING THE JOSEPHINE BAKER LOOK!!! GORGEOUS AND EDGY AT THE SAME TIME. NAS LOOKS GOOD AS HELL IN THESE PICS.
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES! I LOVEEEE KELIS AND NAS! I WILL BE ADDICTED TO THE SHOW B/C I LOVE KELIS (MY FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST BESIDES AMY WINEHOUSE)! THEY KINDA REMIND ME OF A HIGH SCHOOL COUPLE WITH TWO PPL. YOU JUST COULDN’T IMAGINE GOING OUT…(PURE ADULTERATED FUN!)
I wish them luck and success in their marriage, but I don’t understand why they would want a reality show. These people need to start keeping some shit to themselves.
@ 46
I was sho nuff thinkin josephine baker
hot to def, they give me such life
they’re both realistically beautiful, not in a fake way or an unattainable standard, but human…like everyday people.
I LOVE IT!
Reality TV show couples:
Hulk Hogan & wife – Talking divorce
Nick & Jessica – Divorced
Travis Barker & wife – Divorced
Bobby & Whitney – Divorced
Carmen Electra & Dave the rocker dude – Divorced
History tends to repeat itself… Nas & Kelis, please do not do the show.
awwwwwww nas and kelis..too cute! Bad bad move with the show. I really hope they don’t get a divorce coz i love them together. Why do they want US in their marriage like that! I’ll be watching though lmao!
And that was a stupid comment by Nas.
I guess nas is going 2 have 2 get use 2 being in front of da cameras!
They look cute in da first pic!
@ 50 did sharon & ozzy osbourne divorce 2??
i really hope they dont have any trouble after this show & stay the same and make sure the cameras dont consume their lives
but they are a good looking couple
I looooove the whole article….. Kelis and Nas, Bey and Jay… they all make black love seem so sweet *that was so sappy, I kno* but I just love the way Nas and Kelis do their thing and just doesn’t give a f**k what ppl have to say.
They are just the cutest…
And I will b glued to that reality show at all times. Kelis the best, Nas is the best. Can’t no one front and say they won’t b watching cuz if we can be addicted to ‘I Love New York’— I KNOW we can watch this….
dueces:)
Awwwwwwww shit, i cnt wait for this show, i love these two, have to be the hottest couple without question, imma pray they dnt split, be the couple to break the curse.
Hot!!
Plus, Esco is my fav. rapper of all time.
I don’t know how I feel about the show though- usually that’s for people low on the funds, but Nas and Kelis are BANKING so I guess it’s just for fun!! Nothing wrong with keeping the flames burning!
# 3, WTF??!
#37 I wasnt even talkin 2 your dumb ass so stfu. If you know how to comprehend you would get what the fuck he sayin
That show is going to be like watching an episode of Sex and the City, watch lol it’s going to be the black Sex and the City because everyone will be waiting, tongues wagging, for Kelis’s next ensemble. I hope she changes a lot! As for the curse, uhhh I hate to say it because no one could love Kelis more BUT I heard her say in an interview “anyone would be lying if they say fame doesn’t change you.” Now, I know she’s also said that she could do without Hollywood… So, maybe she means some sort of unconscious change…? I don’t know… I hope it doesn’t go South…
