The Internet doesn’t stay silent. Social media has erupted following Kelis‘ allegations of suffering both mental and physical abuse from ex-husband Nas.
Since Kells’ accusations went viral, Twitter has unleashed a slew of various emotional reactions mostly in favor of the R&B singer.
Between Kelis’s allegations and Ye in that MAGA hat y’all really going to be morally conflicted when that Nas album produced by Kanye drops.

So many black men (a some others) get their social consciousness from rappers who are violent towards women, misogynistic, & homophobic.
The side of hip-hop we really need to speak on more. Cause it’s not a coincidence.

Kelis says she's kept her silence for 9 years and folks kept asking her why she won't go back to Nas. Nas who beat her mercilessly, and left bruises all over her body 💔

Takeaways from this @kelis interview speaking on #Nas: we need to lose our heroes (cult of worshipping people), trust Black Women (more), trauma is very real (and may not always be self diagnosed), denial is also real. Don’t just watch the clip: https://t.co/WvcSrh3fVJ

Janelle Monae comes out as pansexual in Roling Stone. Bill Cosby is convicted of sexual assault. Kelis accused Nas of domestic violence.
Today has been a whole-ass gender studies course.

Nas first baby mama said a lot of the same things Kelis is saying in her book. So there's that

Kelis really must be fed up if she stepped away from her pots and pans to candidly speak about Nas and his bullshit. I’m going to need some snacks for this.

Kelis really spared Nas' reputation and he let her be portrayed as a ruthless, gold-digging liar out to destroy a black man. I am so angry

kelis ain't got no ulterior motive fam, this woman has literally not spoken about nas or her life with him until now, she's quietly & happily lived her life.

To the, “I hope that this Nas stuff ain’t true” crowd.
What would be Kelis’ motivation for making this up?
Help me understand….

For the record .. I don’t believe Kelis.. This woman has been trying to ruin Nas life for years
— Veerya (@whatnthehill) April 26, 2018
When @Kelis says she won’t even tell her son that Nas is coming till he’s at the curb, so the kid won’t be disappointed when his father doesn’t show …. I’ve heard that kind of story a lot.
— Wendy Brandes (@WendyBrandes) April 26, 2018
Kelis finally talking about Nas physically abusing her and people are in the comments calling her a liar & a bitch. Not because Nas has defended himself but because they have decided a rapper who’s probably not their fav is not a woman beater based on nothing.

I knew Nas and Kelis had hood love with the ashes from the blunt on the carpet, but damn. pic.twitter.com/1i473SZ7Cs

I don’t want to be get ahead of myself but Kelis might have just opened the door for a lot of truth telling for hip-hop faves. Cuz it ain’t just Nas. Diddy, Jay, all of em have serious demons that they’ve taken out on their previous partners.

herstory is not the wholestory…. kelis been abusing this nigga for the longest bruh, its funny how women be the most mentally abusive and then play victim when they get their feelings hurt. fuck this bitch, he shoulda known from that i hate you so much right now track not to fuck with this broad.
There is always 2 sides to the story, her ass is foul to, always blame the man, this is why men don’t trust women.
this is why have little faith in humanity. they were both abusive; she just wants make herself look good. hope people will buy her new and Nas’s new music. this’ll be forgotten in a few weeks.
Bitch, if you was being abused, why did you stick around…you aint need him to make money. She just mad that milkshake went sour and nobody care about her no mo.
Never too late to get your bag from the #Metoo movement. She’s mad bitter. None of them is innocent, but why wait a dime to tell the story especially when Son’s financials is looking on the up and up…🤔
