Kelis Opens Up About Abusive Marriage<\/h3>\n

Compared to the film industry, the music has been slow to acknowledge the #MeToo movement. While the rock and rap blares, sexual abuse accusations against major musicians have largely fallen on deaf ears. Thanks to Kelis<\/a>, this may be about to change. Yesterday, in a seemingly routine interview with Hollywood Unlocked<\/em>, the \u201cBossy\u201d singer dropped a bombshell when she revealed that her ex-husband Nas was physically and mentally abusive during their five years of marriage. They married in 2005 and were instantly seen as one of music\u2019s most indomitable pairs. However, their public image was far from Kelis\u2019 reality – in the interview she described a highly explosive relationship, where Nas would become highly intoxicated and physical violence would follow. The couple divorced in 2009, citing \u201cirreconcilable differences.\u201d Kelis has been largely silent on their split, until now. She told interviewer Jason Lee, “I have edited myself for nine years and I woke up this morning and said, ‘not today.\u2019 “<\/p>\n
