Nas Speaks on Getting Married Again...Says He's Shy

The last track on Nas's new album, Life Is Good, Bye Baby is an emotional track about his marriage and divorce to singer, Kelis. He put it all out there with that song. In a recent interview, when he was asked if he will try the institution of marriage again, he said he would but he doesn't know how to go about it. He says he has opportunities to meet all sorts of women all around the world, but that he is shy, and doesn't instigate the move. I read on twitter everyday how hundreds of females of all ages proclaim their love for this man, and how they would marry him in a heart-beat...but that doesn't mean they would be right for him. I guess I understand where he is coming from.

Below is what he said about dating again, and finding that right person-

"Well, I thought that I found one, and I don't know, bro. I'm messed up out here, man. I got the opportunity to meet people all over the world," he shared. "Brilliant women, tall women, short women, slim women, thick women, you name it. But, I don't meet them. I have the opportunities to and it's a little bit — I'm a little shy, so I don't meet them and I don't know who's right for me. I looked at people like Harry Belafonte — he's been married like three times; Richard Pryor — he's been married like five times. So many affluent men are faced with finding love problems. I'm sure beautiful, affluent women are faced with the same things sometimes. Halle Berry can't seem to get a break, you know what I'm saying? So, it's just something that I don't know if we'll ever figure out. I hope I do while I'm here." 

I remember this words from a track off his It Was Written (1996) album- I got no game, it's just that bitches understand my story- I guess he was just being sincere. Read on.

"At some point I'll do it again. It'd be great. I want to be better at it. I want to be the best at it. I want to have fun. It's a beautiful life. You learn, you win, you lose, but you get up," he noted. "I just wanted to make that one real record about that situation. I'm hearing artists, men, famous guys, cry when they heard that song and it just blows me away. For one, it means I nailed it and to me that is the greatest feeling of achievement. You don't want to disappoint. Especially someone like me who's been out of music for years and hasn't had an album in like, four years. I don't want to disappoint — that's a nightmare to me. So when I hear people love it or like it or even cry to it, it just says 'Wow, I did something right. I got it; I got it done. I'm not falling off.' That song, I had to. It was to me the most important record on the album."
