They brought up a good point, people wouldn’t have reacted so strongly to the incident in Chicago without the camera footage being released. Also why didn’t the camera man put the camera down to help the young man?

These two were spotted earlier this week together at an event in NYC. Hopefully they will get rid of the lawyers and divorce talk and work things out at least for the sake of the child.

Nas Says He Was, “A Hell Of A Husband And A Hell Of A Dad”

RealTalkNY — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:57:05 +0000

“I heard that I was a cheater,” says Nas, who takes on a more determined tone when discussing the matter. “It almost sounds like I was a bad husband. Not to say I was the greatest—I’m not perfect in anything I do—but I think I deserve a fucking trophy. If I do say so myself, without sounding too cocky, I gotta say I was a hell of a husband and a hell of a dad.”

Hmm he didn’t say he wasn’t a cheater lol.
