While Nas has established himself as one of rap’s elder statesmen, he found himself thrust into the tabloids over his dramatic, high profile divorce.  


Not one to ever miss a cue, Nas used this drama to tell a story and let his emotions speak for themselves. The cover photo featured his ex-wife’s actual wedding dress - the sole possession she left when she moved out of their home.
