KELIS & NAS IN FASHION ROCKS
( PHOTOGRAPHY BY: NORMAN JEAN ROY)

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.

I love them as a couple… Ying & Yang but they diffently mesh well…
It’s makes me nervous that they’re going to have a MTV reality show, we know the couples always break up after the show is over … It’s the MTV curse !!!

Seriously some of yall people just find ANYTHING to hate on other people. Damn are your lives that miserable that the only thing that can make you feel better is to hate on others for no reason?!?! Get a life or just get lost…..
Anyway Nas and Kelis are such an adorable couple and both very talented. I love seeing them together! The pictures are fly too!

They look like they are wearing some old cloths they found in the dumpster. Kelis need to get it together. Nas was hot before he got with Kelis. Kelis was hot before she got with Nas. They’re like a cheap Dollar Store version of Beyonce and Jay-Z.

NASIR IS MY DUDE SO I HAVE TO RESPECT WHO HE HAS CHOSEN AS A WIFE. THEY LOOK FLY TOGETHER AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY HAVE A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING THAT MAKES THEM COMPLETE. AS FAR AS THE SHOW, NAS IS A LAID BACK CAT SO I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THE REAL TV THING. KELIS BRINGS THIS ENERGY TO THE TABLE THAT DOES SOMETHING TO NAS SO TOGETHER THEY MAKE AN INTERESTING COUPLE ESPECIALLY FOR TV. I THINK THEY BOTH ARE FREAKS TOO SO IT MIGHT BE ON SOME RATED R ISH VERSES PG 13 ENOUGH TO KEEPS THING CASUAL BUT EXCITING.

ya’ll always hollerin’ Bee and Jay, Bee and Jay…. well, according to the pathetic lyrics in 99% of the songs on that cd (which I didn’t buy, I promise) Jay Z was dogging her. So, the girl is singing about the man and telling him to leave and their love is like a perm that’s been on too long, why are you always bringing them up? Can’t any African American woman sing or act or breathe without the vapid Beyonce reference? Can’t she date or marry without always falling short of Jay and Bee? GOODNESS!

108.

NIX

they make a nice couple and he really seems into her but UM
she stepped up his fashion game?
that really isnt saying much because neither has any great style to me

Thursday, August 23, 2007 /

lol @ Kelis not having style. WOW i’m not even going there lol

Kelis and Nas are nothing like Jay Z and Beyonce. Those are 4 extremely different people & 2 very different couples. They all just happen to be in the music biz. I don’t even get people on here tooting Jay Z and Beyonce as a couple…Jay is ridiculously ugly lol. The only thing that makes them “hot” as a couple is Beyonce.

Jay and Beyonce are as attractive of a couple as J.LO and Marc Anthony lol

I LOVE THEM TOGETHER!! They seem like the perfect fit together and Kelis has mad class and style….no other hollywood couple compares to their swagger….not even jay z and beyonce cause everyone knows their relationship is more of a staged business relationship

I like the first black and white pic of them, real vintage Glam ! I can see why she ’s all hyped about the show.She needs the HYPE ,because her albums dont dop that well over all ,give or take a song here and there.

Ha, I agree with #3 — well said! I get that same feeling when I see them. As a couple, they bore me. They are the average couple to me. Just come to Hartford, CT and you’ll see many couples just like them. Fly girl, Fly boy — stay with the “with just fucked” look in their eyes.

Jay and Bey are wayyyy more hotter, popular, richer and successful so there is NO comparison whatsoever b/c most ppl don’t even know who Nas and Kelis are so ya’ll delusional Nas and Kelis STANS need to get outta here trying to compare them to Jay and Bey b/c they ain’t no where near their level and that’s real talk. Nas and Kelis are about as relevant as Nelly and Ashanti which is D-List celebrities who ain’t had a hit in God knows when.

@#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.

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

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
