NAS & KELIS FEATURED IN FASHION ROCKS MAG
Wednesday, August 22, 2007
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

@ 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

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??!

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…

They’re one of the few celeb couples that actually look good together, only others are Will and Jada & Grant and Tamia.
Nas did an interview where he said that they didn’t have any cameras inside of their home(s), So i doubt it’s going to be like what we’ve seen before.
Anyway, I don’t think anyones marriage has ever been ended b/c of show those ppl had other bigger problems. Plus Ozzy and Sharon are still together, so are Run and his wife. It depends on the couple and thier reasons for being together in the first place.

^^^ Nah, Jessica and Nick divorced because the show made Jessica so popular… She got more endorsements, more jobs…and when her record came out, she sold more than Nick and he couldn’t take it. Her dad has said so, many times….
But, reality shows aren’t the end of it, it’s just that, when one celebrity becomes more successful than his/her celebrity spouse, jealousy tears them apart. It happens all the time.

^that goes to what i was saying about it depending on the couple. W/ Nick and Jessica they never had time to be married and live together as a couple, that show started as soon as they said “I DO”. It was too much to soon and they drowned.
plus when u think about it every celeb couple has one person thats more famous…Tom is more famous than Katie, Will is more famous than Jada etc. So I don’t think thats the sole cause of divorce…the problems are much bigger than wifey or hubby getting more magazine covers.

The thing I like most about these two as a couple is that they seem so natural together; like they fit. You can tell that they complement each other. I can even see them together in their sixties - Nas rocking socks up to his knees with shoes on and suspenders and Kelis with her face painted crazy and boob down to her knees, still trynna hit the club and rock out. I hope they last.
