The salient points


  • Kelis is Kelis' real first name – it's a 'portmanteau' of her parents' names.

  • Her parents are called Kenneth and Eveliss.

  • Her singles are often biographical – she really does hate you so much right now, she's 'Bossy' and her 'Milkshake' literally does bring all the boys to the yard.

  • As part of their divorce agreement, Nas pays Kelis $55,000 a month.

  • NEVER GET MARRIED TO KELIS (unless you are committed to making the relationship work).

  • 'Acapella', while not actually a capella, is very good.

  • She recorded her single 'Brave' in Simlish for the video game The Sims. RIYL fictional languages.
