Nas and Kelis have recently been dealing with a custody battle over their son, Knight, but in a recent interview, Kelis decided to bring their personal relationship into the public.

The R&B singer accused Nas of domestic violence, something she said both of them were guilty of. The two met in 2002, marring in 2005, but divorcing in 2009.

Kelis said “there was a lot of mental and physical abuse” in the relationship, adding: “I had bruises all over my body … it was really toxic … at seven months’ pregnant I was terrified. I was like, I cannot bring a person into this. I can’t control this. I’ve got to get out.”
