This will be Nas’ second child and Kelis’ first. Nas already has a 14-year-old daughter named Destiny from a previous relationship. Congratz the Jones family!

As we reported last month, R&B singer Kelis is definitely pregnant, according to her husband Nas. They’ll know the sex of the baby as soon as next week, the rapper told MTV Sunday on the red carpet at the 2009 Grammys.

“Yeah, man, I find out what it’s gonna be next week, so I’m happy,” said the rapper, who has a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. “I got another one coming in ‘09, yeah! That’s what’s up!”

“Right now, I’ll tell you first, I’m working on an album with Damian Marley, and we tryin’ to build some schools in Africa with this one, and trying to build empowerment,” he said. “We’re tryin’ to show love and stuff with this album. So, the record’s … all about really the ‘hood and Africa also as well. That’s coming out real soon.”

No release date yet, but the rhyme legend is looking tentatively at this spring.

“Too early to tell the title or anything like that,” he said. “Shout out to my man Jr. Gong, we getting it in right now.”

Nas was guest at L.A. Reid’s post-Grammy party. We’ll give you one guess which label the album is coming out on.

While we wait on Beyonce & Jay-Z, Janet Jackson & Jermaine Dupri, and Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon to decide what they want to do as far as making babies and sh*t, I guess we can settle with news of Nas & Kelis expecting their first-born. And a couple tells US Weekly that, “they are so excited!”

Hip-hop star Nas and his wife, singer Kelis, are expecting their first child together, Us Weekly reported Wednesday (January 14). A source reportedly told Us that the “Milkshake” singer is in her first trimester. “It’s all they are talking about,” the source told the magazine. “She is carrying hip-hop royalty! They are so excited.” The source said mother-to-be Kelis already has a baby bump. Nas has a daughter, Destiny, from a previous relationship.

The couple wed in January 2005 after a two-year courtship. The New York natives were married in Atlanta, where they keep a home. Nas’ brother, Braveheart member Jungle, served as the best man. The pair raised eyebrows on the 2008 Grammy Awards red carpet. The rapper was in the midst of promoting his project, then titled N—er and later released as an untitled album, and his wife showed her support by wearing a jacket adorned with the racial epithet.

Nas said their personal life isn’t nearly as attention-grabbing. The two were set to appear in an MTV reality show about their life together, but the introverted rapper put the kibosh on the project before it could air. Nas cited privacy concerns, in addition to his marriage just being a normal relationship. He called their lives “boring” and said the only reality he was comfortable with was his music. At press time, representatives for Nas and Kelis had no comment about the reported pregnancy.

We already know what that baby’s first word is gonna be!

With only 3 days left until President-Elect Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, Young Jeezy and Nas have officially released their brand new video for Jeezy’s latest single, “My President (is Black)!” The music video, directed by Young Jeezy and Gabriel Hart, was filmed late last year in Atlanta.

Rappers Young Jeezy and Nas were recently spotted on the set of their brand new music video for “My President is Black.” The video, directed by Gabriel Heart, was shot in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. The homie Xilla was on the set in front of Martin Luther King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church. The official music video should hit GOT this month, and we can’t wait!
