Nas And Kelis Wear “Nigger” T-shirts At 2008 Grammy Awards
Nas and his wife Kelis were spotted both wearing “Nigger” t-shirts at the 50th annual Grammy Awards last night in Los Angeles.Nas talked to CNN at the award show and defended his fashion choice,by saying:
“Its all the experiences we go through every day, of all ethnicities – Black, White, indifferent.
“We’ve all at some point felt discriminated on, whether it’s in Dominican Republic, whether it’s in China, whether it’s in Iraq with soldiers getting their heads blown off for reasons we don’t know why. The meaning of the word is supposed to be ignorant.
“So no longer are Black people still niggers, it’s also me and you (a white correspondent). I want people to think about what I’m thinking about today.”
Nas’ “Nigger” album should be out this month.

- Kelis And Nas Divorce? | March 2, 2008
Fact: nas fell off a long time ago, and his wife is BUTT F$CKING UGLY!
more fact: n1gger t-shirt = not cool and just keep racial tension high between everyone. you think anyone understands this guys n1gger t-shirt.. i sure as f dont..
To the ones that say why it is OK for them to call themselves niggers while it is not OK for white to call them that name. because it is their business (it is just like I accept to insult myself, but I don’t accept someone else to insult me) is that hard to understand?? I can call myself stupid, but you don’t have the right to call me stupid. it does not need a huge brain to understand it.
It is very sad this racism business. I get treated real bad by black people all the time just because my color is white, when I am a real and pure African. I just don’t understand this color problem.
f$$$$n niggers, they need a tatoo on their foreheads saying “i am a n$$$$r” a f$$$$n dirty n$$$$r! stupid niggers get mad when we call them nigeer but they find it ok to say ti to them selves stupid ignorant selfish niggers!
I find you to be a racist a**hole. I’ve heard other whites call themselves names that I as a African-American wouldn’t. You could get your point across without getting your chance to call us F*cken niggers. How would you like for me to call you a F*cken hunky. You all know when and where you can ease the words that you’ve been dying to say anyways. Your hidden… You had your opportunity. I hope you’re happy…Ignorant a**
Is there a picture of Whoopi Goldberg wearing a T-Shirt with the word “Mayate” printed across the front?
Lol. White people and asians were enslaved quite a bit actually. In fact you would be hard pressed to find a race that was never enslaved.
Good for Nas and Kelis. I’m digging the shirts. Who cares who gets their feelings hurt. Serious. Who gives a sh%%% about fake ones and their reasoning, about why Nas and Kelis shouldn’t wear n$$$$r shirts. Aha. I love it. Love it. Love it. Go ahead and be deep, and reply about the struggle with the word, and some hooplah about it being wrong. You ‘W. Lynch’ minded bugs don’t have real feelings. You saying what sounds good. Your heart and ain’t in it. I want that n$$$$r shirt. Lots people, want it.
Um… White people, Hispanics, Asians or any of those other ethnicities you called out were ever captured, enslaved, and forced to speak a language against their wills. So, Black people have the right to call eachother Niggers, Niggas and whatever else we want to say because the whole reason we’re even speaking the language is an abomination. And Nas is one of the most intelligent, aware and creative artists out there, and so is Kelis. So get your foot out your mouth and you head outta your a$s. Learn something before you give your silly little opinion.
Coooooooooorny
It’s funny how black people hate when another race, if that be white, hispanic or asian call a back person a ni**er, but when a black person says it, that is o.k. If they don’t like that word so bad, they shouldn’t use it themselves, and for someone to name there album that shows how stupid they are. I agree with Ms Jay, that they’re complete idiots.
What an idiot, thats what the title of his album should be “Im an idiot”. Nas should just tell the truth, “i couldnt think of anything creative nor could my marketing team, and so i came up with this stupid a$s cover”.
