Nigger Nas found out the hard way that too many gimmicks can backfire in his face. NN who has always relied on gimmicks to promote his albums, now realizes he made a mistake when he decided to name his album Nigger. The backlash against NN and his girlfriend Kelis has resulted in the cancellation of their reality show.
According to online reports, only two episodes were ever filmed before production was halted. Apparently NN and Kelis could find no takers for the show and the show’s production budget was depleted. The couple tell friends that it was NN’s decision to cancel production. NN says: “It was boring. We were too guarded. We weren’t ready.”

Kelis is not his girlfriend. She is his wife. Without children there isn’t much to see on a reality show with them. Are we supposed to watch them party and shop?
I thought they were divorcing? Maybe it was boring because they don’t live together and it would be too hard to try and piece it together. She always looks worst than I look when I am walking my dog in the morning..
Give me a break, they had no need for a reality show…no one was checking them like that!
@ “It was boring. We were too guarded. We weren’t ready.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the public who were not ready.
What’s up with Jennifer Lopez’s show? Did it come on already? Just wondering.
Yea I wouldnt find anything interesting about these two..well not enough to watch their reality show anyways.
Blah…. Im glad it got cancelled!
and she looks like a fake golden globe award in those Gold tights
Sandra, Nas donot need a gimmick to sell albums, he is a great lycricist! ———— Kelis is boring she has no personality —— So i’m glad they cancel the show.
They need to give it up already. Whatever happened to “their” cooking show that was suppose to come out. I mean damn NAS, when is it ever going to jump off for you and your boo?
I figured that show was put on hold permanently b.cuz I remember them filming it a longtime ago…if it didn’t come it by now then its a wrap.
Yeah it would of been boring because I am bored with this post
As for Nas using this show as a gimmick…honestly, I think the show was more of a promotional tool for Kelis than him b.cuz I remember Kelis saying she had to talk Nas into doing it.
Also, they were filming for the reality show around the time Kelis was promoting her last album…like I stated previously they were filming a longtime ago.
“NN and his girlfriend Kelis”
They’re married… An unusual marriage, but a real one, nonetheless. I think u’re so used to sayin “Girlfriend/Baby Mama” that u dont realize that black men actually marry their “peeps.”
Now about their nigger show… I mean, does the world need another reality show that depicts blacks in a negative connotation? How could u spin a man wanting to name his album “nigger” into something interesting? What would we learn about them? The fact that he likes to read, smoke weed & have sex with his dimwit wife? I can do without another pointless reality show with an irrelevant washed up musician
i love nas as an artist but i dont think he interesting enough for a tv show
how about a jay and bee show im sure sandra would love that one lol
^^ Without the weed smokin, we have Deion Sanders show!! Ditzy wife with minimal talent & a husband who makes fun of her
They do make a cute couple though.
well fine w/me, we could do without another celeb reality show.
im surprised VH1 didnt want to touch it, as if they dont have enough ignorant black reality shows on their network as it is. i can see it now…”Nas Presents..The Nigger Show” premiering somewhere between Flavor of Love and I Love New York.
Okay Nas was on the radio (Hot 97 in NY) months ago talking about this. He said that the show wasn’t going anywhere because he was boring (his words) he said the real star of the show was his brother who I guess has the personality. It had nothing to do with the title of his album.
Well good it was canceled!!!!! I am bored to tears with these two anyway!!!!(claps hands)
Kelis, looks like she smells like a combo of bacon grease and Pear scented body spray. She just looks like she stays musty.
Now they know good and well that the show would not have been worth watching it would have been a waste of time I would just suggest that the both of them lay low like they have been and figure out another master plan and kelis look a H.A.M in the gold pants…tights whateva you want to call them and Nas looks dumb in that T-shirt.
@ Sandra
Please be clear the are husband and wife, nothing else to comment about!
oops… they are husband and wife, I stand corrected by myself!
I just watched countdown of the top 10 g’s to gents, for the upcoming show. Nas was #??? I forgot, but how are you a gentleman walking around with Nigger on your chest?
Nas doesn’t use gimmicks he can flow! T.I. GIMMICKS, BIRD CHEST and GUNS…hmm whose the better choice?
I dont’ agree with the album being called the N word or him marrying a GIMMICK Kelis…she’s a waste of energy.
He needs to just retire and leave the game to the wackness that is out now…i.e., T.I., Lil Wayne…etc.
Funny how most ALL rappers name Nas as not only one of the top 10 rappers but he usually falls in the top 5. Yet some blogger with no rap experience (I assume) says he is a gimmick. I guess there was no other way to sell this non story.
LIKE I SAID NAS SAID HE WAS BORING AND HE DIDN’T WANT TO DO THE SHOW. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ALBUM BEING TITLED N.
Go find a Picture of Bey and Jay and make up a story you’ll get better responses.
@ iscream: I co-sign…
@ nonya: Lil Wayne- a gimmick? Really? Whatever…
NAS nmaed his album NIGGER because he had somthing to say..he always does if we listen to the music and stop being fascinated with bling bling and “line dance” songs. He is talented and thought provoking- not a gimmick. This couple has their own style and their own way..we just gotta respect that and respect NAS as one of the greatest and move on…
I like Nas new single with Keri . I love him as a rapper. Why not have a TV show everyone else does???
I love Nas and Kelis both as artist, but agree that Nas probably would come off as a little boring just following him around on a day to day basis. Nas seem more of a conversationalist and not too many people are tuning in to reality shows to hear deep convo. And Kelis seems like she would bring the drama- which is why people watch these shows- but the show can’t revolve around her. Or maybe it should have. Personally I’m glad their not coming out with their show because from what past shows have taught us is that the camera can break up a happy home.
And I definetly agree that neither Nas or Kelis are gimmicks. Kelis has always been left field with her music and style. Nas doesn’t follow trends or what’s poppin right now. His new single “Hero” speaks the truth.
This universal apartheid
I’m hog-tied, the corporate side
Blocking y’all from going to stores and buying it
First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it
But Newsweek article startled big wigs
They said, Nas, why is he trying it?
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
Forgetting – Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
*Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can’t sing what’s in their soul (Please reread that)
So untitled it is
I never change nothin’
But people remember this
If Nas can’t say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas being told what they can and can’t spit
I can’t sit and watch it
So, sh!t, I’ma drop it
Like it or not
You ain’t gotta cop it
I’m a hustler in the studio
Cups of Don Julio
No matter what the CD called
I’m unbeatable, y’all
