Kelis speaks on divorce, accuses Nas of verbally and physically abusing her
38-yr-old singer, Kelis has accused of her ex-husband, Nas, of verbally, mentally and physically abusing her while they were married. She made this known in her first interview about her divorce to the rapper whom she got married to in 2005, a marriage that ended in 2009.
Kelis who divorced Nas three months before their child Knight was born, said in an interview with Hollywood unlock:
”I didn’t file for divorce because he cheated. He’s been cheating for two years and I didn’t file. because I knew that.
There was a lot of drinking. There was a lot of mental and physical abuse. . . . I would have probably stayed longer had I not been pregnant”.
She added:
”There was a lot of mental and physical abuse. I had bruises all over my body … it was really toxic … at seven months’ pregnant I was terrified. I was like, I cannot bring a person into this. I can’t control this. I’ve got to get out”.
Speaking further, the milk shake crooner categorized the relationship as dark.
”It wasn’t good, ever, but it progressively got worse. We had really intense highs and really intense lows, it was never normal … We were drinking too much, smoking too much, spending too much … We lived hard and because of that, when that comes down, it goes really low.
We would fight. I never just sat there … Did he hit me? M-hmm [nods]. Did I hit him back? M-hmm [nods]. He would black out – he would drink way too much … a lot of stuff, he may not remember. We would have, literally, the worst night ever, and we would wake up the next day, and it’s like it never happened”.
The chef continues: “I was naive, I was madly in love, and so I took a lot that I shouldn’t have taken.”
Kelis also said Nas’s infidelity was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” with regards to their marriage. Nas already admitted having an affair in a VH1 interview in 2012.
