Baby Mama Drama: Carmen Bryan Says Nas Is “Mentally Ill, Ignorant And Uneducated”

On Why She’s Taking Her Tuition Fight To Court:

“This thing started, unbeknownst to me, in June of 2013. Nas just stopped paying Destiny’s tuition. I have a court order that says he has to pay 100% of her secondary education, which is college. Nas dropped out of school I believe 7th, 8th grade, so he’s ignorant and uneducated. He’s a junior high school dropout; he doesn’t believe in education. My thing is she wants an education. After all she’s been through, she desires it, and she deserves it. What she doesn’t deserve is to get half way through an accelerated program, and have to stop because her father refuses to pay the tuition. But this time, I want things to be different. I don’t want him to go to jail – I want him to get help.”

On Her Motivation To Have Nas Mentally Evaluated:

“My legal team is going to file a motion and ask the judge for an order to have him mentally evaluated before we proceed because like I said, I don’t want to see him go to jail, but I do want to see him get the help that possibly, based on my experiences with him, he needs. And anyone that knows Nas, knows him, they know that he’s off. I believe that he is terrified, and he’s afraid of public backlash and humiliation. I also believe that he’s afraid the medication will numb him, or turn him into some kind of zombie so he won’t be able to write and create, which will ultimately ruin his career. These are my personal beliefs based on my past experiences and conversations with Nas. Like I said, I just want to see him get the help I believe he desperately needs, at the end of the day he is Destiny’s father. I’m concerned.”

Do you really believe that she wants him to get help? Is talking to the press about him going to hurt or help the situation? It’s odd that she says people know Nas is “off” because it seems like so many celebrities are “off” but we have heard so little about Nas having these kinds of issues.

Hit the flip for an anecdote from Carmen about a story Kelis allegedly told Destiny. We’re curious whether Kelis would stand by this story.
