Nas says he’s surprised at the public’s interest in his divorce and life. He recently spoke with Canadian newspaper Georgia Straight and he says he deserves a trophy for being a good husband and father. He also says he wants a lot more children.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

“It’s funny that someone would even care about some Nasir Jones sh*t. I’m still that kid from the block at the end of the day…. So when I watch this sh*t, it’s surreal. We get a good laugh off it and say, ‘Hey, they’re talking about me again and it’s some funny sh*t.’ “

Nas denies the rumor that he cheated on Kelis.

“I heard that I was a cheater. It almost sounds like I was a bad husband. Not to say I was the greatest-I’m not perfect in anything I do-but I think I deserve a f**king trophy. If I do say so myself, without sounding too cocky, I gotta say I was a hell of a husband and a hell of a dad.”

“It’s unfortunate when business is out there about your personal sh*t, especially when you’re really not the guy to be having his sh*t out there. The sad thing is, you’ve got to get used to it. My skin is so thick that I probably need to write a book for people who are not ready for anything crazy.”

Nas is currently coheadlining the Rock the Bells tour, with Damian Marley who he is working on an album with. When asked what is next for him he says he wants to be like Damian’s father, Bob Marley, and have a lot of children.

“I’ve been around the Marleys, and children and being fruitful is the Marley way, so I want to have more kids. I want to be surrounded by my kids, and I want to watch them grow. I was thinking about getting my Bob Marley on.”
