Nas Casts Daughter Destiny For New Video, “Daughters”

Despite controversy by his child’s mother, Nas “kept it real” on the set of his new video for his single “Daughters” by featuring his “little princess,” Destiny, in the video. The from-the-heart track about his 17-year old daughter caused controversy with Nas’ baby mother, Carmen Bryan, who was less than impressed with the lyrics. Recently, she expressed her displeasure on twitter explaining:

Just heard “Daughters” by Nas. What a disappointment! He had nothing positive to say about our daughter and his depiction of her is false! Destiny is extremely talented, caring and has a huge heart, none of those things were mentioned. I’m proud of her. Destiny is still a child-it was the wrong platform. No he’s not speaking on it-he’s rapping about it. There’s a huge difference and I don’t respect it.
Maybe he just doesn’t know her like I do. My song would have been totally different!

Meanwhile, Destiny must’ve been okay with how she was portrayed, as she’ll be his leading lady for the video. You can expect ‘Daughters’ to be featured on Mr. Jones’ upcoming album “Life Is Good” in stores July 17.
