Recently she sat down with Jason Lee from Hollywood Unlocked for a candid interview. When she began to discuss her relationship with ex-husband Nas, she said that she has "edited" herself for nine years, and she didn't want to be "edited" anymore.

Kelis stated that she and the rapper fell in love "very quickly" and they shut out the world during their relationship. "We had really intense highs and really intense lows. It was never normal."

She admitted that the two lived hard by partying and spending out of control. She believed that both of them becoming famous at a young age played a role in their demise.
