Kelis  has finally decided to share her thoughts on her ex-husband Nas who made a nod to their ill-fated marriage on the cover of his new album.The singer sat down with NME at the Isle Of Wight Festival 2012 and says she admires her ex-husband for wearing his “feelings on his sleeve”.

“My feelings about it are not really relevant, but you know at the end of the day Nas is an artist. And for whatever it’s worth he’s one of the greatest, and especially for what it is he does.”

“So for me, I feel like especially for someone in hip-hop to kind of be genuine and honest, whatever the honesty is about, I think it’s awesome. So my feelings about it aren’t really necessarily valid, it’s just the fact that as an artist I can respect that he wears his feelings on his sleeve.”

The dress was the only thing she left behind when she left the rapper. The singer also dishes on her busy touring schedule and what to expect from her next album.
