One of the few hip-hop power couples will soon be no more. It has been confirmed that singer Kelis, although she is seven months pregnant with their first child, has filed for divorce from rapper Nas. "We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time," a spokesman for the couple said. Attorney Laura Wasser, who has repped Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and Stevie Wonder, filed a divorce petition today on behalf of Kelis.
Nas and Kelis met in 2002 at Diddy's MTV
Video Music Awards after party. "I wasn’t going to go, but I’m glad I
did," Nas told later said, continuing "Then at the afterparty, I met my girl." Kelis remembered the meeting saying "Everyone moves out of the way, and Nas
stands up, and I put my hand out, and I’m like, Hey, I’m Kelis. And he
goes, ‘Who?’… So I’m crawling into a fucking hole, and he’s like,
‘Wait-huh? What’s your name? And I’m like, Kelis, and he’s like, ‘Oh, well that’s great, because I’ve been waiting to make you my wife all these years.’"
