Kelis has filed for divorce from her husband, rapper Nas.

She is currently seven months pregnant with his child.

“I think Jesse Jackson, he’s the biggest player hater. His time is up. All you old niggas, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don’t wanna hear that shit no more. It’s a new day. It’s a new voice. I’m here now. We don’t need Jesse; I’m here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezys. We’re the voice now. It’s no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain’t helping nobody in the ‘hood. That’s the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!”

Rapper Nas, responding the Jesse Jackson’s recorded comments about how he wants to cut Barack Obama’s nuts off.

“We’re taking power from the word. No disrespect to none of them who were part of the civil rights movement, but some … in the streets don’t know who (civil rights activist) Medgar Evers was … they know who Nas is. And to my older people who don’t know who Nas is and who don’t know what a street disciple is, stay outta this motherfucking conversation. We’ll talk to you when we’re ready. Right now, we’re on a whole new movement. We’re taking power from that word.”

Nas, whose upcoming album will be controversially titled Nigger. (Hey, the kids at Bossip printed it, so I can too!)

There’s a ton of really powerful stuff in this MTV interview with him. In fact, I’ve put the whole thing after the jump. It’s just that damn important.
