Kelis Makes Peace With Nas, "There Is No Point To Fighting"

"Yeah everything's fine. We are divorced, but there is no point to fighting -- there is nothing to fight about," she revealed in an interview with US Weekly. "I am super happy; my life is awesome. We are friends, we get along now and it's all good...[Our son Knight] is hilarious! He claps, he snaps and he waves. He is a shrunken little person and has a lot of personality...Pregnancy gives a woman a strong sense of validation. [When you're pregnant], you wake up everyday and internally everything is working perfectly and you look at the world and everything sort of fits together. It's hard not to realize there is a creator and he created all of us." (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
