Carmen Says Nas Is Bi-Polar, Paranoid & Schizophrenic
Carmen Bryan, the mother of Nas’ 19 year old daughter Destiny, is not lettingĀ up. After Nas fell $11,000 behind on child support, and according to Carmen, hasĀ refused to pay Destiny’s tuition and medical bills. Now Carmen says that Nas hasĀ mental issues and may need help.
ON THE INACCURACIES BEING REPORTED BY THE MEDIA AND THEĀ SURPRISING WAY SHE HOPES THE TUITION FIGHT WILL HELP NAS:
āI do not want to see my childās father go to jail. However, I do want to seeĀ him get the mental help that I believe he desperately needs. So this situationĀ is a curse and a blessing with regard to the fact that there are someĀ deep-rooted mental issues that I believe exist and need to be addressed.ā
ON THE MENTAL ISSUES SHE FEELS ARE PRESENT INĀ NAS:
āWell first off, let me just say my experiences with Nas, my dealings withĀ Nas, and my research all lead me to believe that he does suffer from bipolarismĀ and he may be a paranoid schizophrenic.Ā Ā Thatās my personal opinion basedĀ on my experiences and interaction with him.Ā An incident occurred with NasĀ years ago when we were together. I came in the house, Destiny and I, and he wasĀ on the couch wrapped up in a blanket; his mom was on one side of him, hisĀ brother on the other side, there were a few more people in the house. My firstĀ reaction was, āIs everything okay? What happened?ā And thatās when Nas told meĀ ghosts were haunting him again, and entities were whispering to him and touchingĀ him and bothering him.Ā This is something that he mentioned when we firstĀ got together, but I had never experienced him ever experiencing it until thatĀ moment. So, Iāve witnessed this long battle with insanity.ā
ON WHAT STARTED THE FIGHT OVER DESTINYāSĀ TUITION:
āThis thing started, unbeknownst to me, in June of 2013. Nas just stoppedĀ paying Destinyās tuition. I have a court order that says he has to pay 100% ofĀ her secondary education, which is college. Nas dropped out of school I believeĀ 7th, 8th grade, so heās ignorant andĀ uneducated. Heās a junior high schoolĀ dropout; he doesnāt believe in education. My thing is she wants an education.Ā After all sheās been through, she desires it, and she deserves it. What sheĀ doesnāt deserve is to get half way through an accelerated program, and have toĀ stop because her father refuses to pay the tuition. But this time, I want thingsĀ to be different. I donāt want him to go to jail ā I want him to get help.ā
ON WHAT HER LEGAL TEAM IS DOING TO ADDRESS NASā ALLEGED MENTALĀ ISSUES:
āMy legal team is going to file a motion and ask the judge for an order toĀ have him mentally evaluated before we proceed because like I said, I donāt wantĀ to see him go to jail, but I do want to see him get the help that possibly,Ā based on my experiences with him, he needs. And anyone that knows Nas, knowsĀ him, they know that heās off. I believe that he is terrified, and heās afraid ofĀ public backlash and humiliation. I also believe that heās afraid the medicationĀ will numb him, or turn him into some kind of zombie so he wonāt be able to writeĀ and create, which will ultimately ruin his career. These are my personal beliefsĀ based on my past experiences and conversations with Nas. Like I said, I justĀ want to see him get the help I believe he desperately needs, at the end of theĀ day he is Destinyās father.Ā Iām concerned.ā
Now, who died and made Carmen a psychiatrist? What degree did she receive toĀ allow her to diagnose Nas’ mental illness? Personally, I’ve been in the presenceĀ of Nas a few times and have NEVER witnessed any of the such nor has his ex-wifeĀ Kelis ever complained about such things (and she has been pretty vocal in herĀ complaints). If Carmen is speaking in regards to just HER experiences, she needsĀ to keep in mind that SHE is a factor in that too. It could be that she was/isĀ just hard to deal with. Mind you, Carmen is the same woman who pitched a fitĀ about Kelis even being around Destiny. What’s even worse is she’s doing thisĀ while her daughter is old enough to know EVERYTHING that’s going on. She’sĀ raising a future petty baby mama and has no idea.
