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)
RICK ROSS ( INTERVIEW)
Is is not inconcievable that Rick Ross may change his name, especially how much he's using Ricky Rosay, but here is what he told AllHipHop a few days ago.
AllHipHop.com: I heard there’s a rumor that you’re changing your name to Ricky Rozay?
Rick Ross: Naw….that ‘s my twitter name, so hit me up on twitter @RickyRozay. I just got on Twitter so shout out to all my followers.
AllHipHop.com: Speaking of name changes, is the whole situation with Freeway Ricky Ross posing a problem with you?
Rick Ross: Naw…we just gonna let the people deal with that. It’s like owning a restaurant, your gonna have a few slip and falls. You get lawsuits, you deal with them, and get them out your way…sometimes you loose.
