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.
Nas is too gorgeous! Kelis is naturally beautiful and exotic! They are a match made in heaven! They make black love look so beautiful!
@#117 SHUT YOUR YOUNG ASS UP. YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY ANYONE HAS BESIDES YOUR OWN! AND WHEN DOES JAY & BEYONCE SET THE STANDARD ON ALL THINGS HAPPINESS. THOSE MOFOS STILL GOING AROUND FRONTIN LIKE THEY AREN’T A COUPLE LIKE KIDS. SORT OF LIKE YOURSELF.
@111
Kelis is huge in Europe…I can’t speak for album sales, but she is definitely one of the celebs who can’t walk the street without getting mobbed. She’s been hot over there for years, though. But, I’m a realist, so I’ll agree with you about something…I do think she wants the hype…she also was the one who wanted to make that reality special out of their wedding…So, yeah I think she wants the hype but I think it’s only because she believes she deserves it. And, guess what? I do too.
They are so cute!!!!
Thank You Kelis……I love Nas…but from the Wille Esco to the wack jackets he used to sport, his dress game was wack. Hopefully we’ll see him with a wardrobe to match is sharp flow. Kelis got fresh from Pharrel.
I am sooo not a stan, so don’t think it, but I’m really upset at people not seeing Kelis’s style. She did NOT get fresh from Pharrel lol She’s always dressed this way. She’s so crazy with it, that it would only work if she did dress this way her entire life. Now, don’t knock her style…style’s my thing…I get crazy! lol
LOVE THEM! Can’t wait to see that reality show!
I GOTTA AGREE WITH #75 TOO.
I’M GLAD THEY ARE FOCUSED & INTO EACH OTHER RATHER THAN CARING ABOUT WHAT THE OUTSIDE WORLD THINKS & SAYS!
ALSO….
IT’S FUNNY THAT SOME SAY KELIS HAS NO STYLE, BUT WHAT’S FUNNIER IS THAT ALOT OF STUFF THAT YOU SEE CHICS ROCKIN ARE THE SAME THINGS KELIS WAS WEARING & DOING WHEN SHE 1ST CAME OUT IN 1998-99…lmao
The cutest couple eva. My favorite!!!
