Nas & Kelis Sue for $100 Million!


According to mediatakeout.com, Nas and Kelis are suing the Miami police department for 100 million dollars for racial profiling. This stems from the incident in 2006 where Kelis got arrested. Apparently Nas was racially profiled, and when kelis protested she got arrested. Now the couple is looking to sue Miami for punitive damages... I can't really say I'm mad at them! Get that paper anyway you can-- I mean, we are in a recession here people... Times are tough they are only going to get tougher... And plus, this is all about the principle right? Riiiiiiiiiight.


On a different note, Nas is getting a lot of flack for his latest LP slated to be titled "Nigger". The point is that when White slave masters used this term to refer to blacks back in slavery days it was used wrong. "Nigger" does not have any racial connotation. In fact, if you look it up in the dictionary it means ignorant person, it does not mean ignorant BLACK person. So this is the reason why Nas wants to bring the name to the forefront. Unfortunately, his ideas have gone over a lot of peoples heads, and they don't understand it. They think he's just trying to be ignorant... How ironic! As the story develops, I'll give you the goods....
