Nas ‘Nigger’ Album
Nas insists his December 11th album will be entitled ‘Nigger,’ despite reports of opposition from Def Jam.
“I don’t know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam,” Nas said early Thursday morning (October 18) in a Manhattan recording studio when asked about a Fox News article published earlier this week. “None of us knows where that came from.”
“You ain’t got no business worrying about what the word ‘n*gger’ is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me,” Nas tells MTV.com about the negative response to the album title from public figures, like Rev. Jesse Jackson.
