Nas told Williams that he believed Jay was aware of Kelly’s wrongdoings, saying, “I could have showed the R. Kelly video that everybody’s talking about and made fun of it and show pictures of Jay hanging out.
“You can’t tell me Jay didn’t see a 14-year-old girl come into the studio and sit on R. Kelly’s lap,” he continued. “You gonna tell me he didn’t see no 14-year-old girl come into the vicinity?
“You’ve seen it go down. I’ve been around R. Kelly … I’ve been on tours with him. I didn’t see no 14-year-old, but I talked to the man and see there’s a little problem there.
He added that Kelly “needs help”, saying, “I pray for him. I’m here for the people. I’m here to talk the truth.”
