Controversy seems to naturally swirl around Nasir Jones.

Al Sharpton and the NAACP have condemned his albums. He's had confrontations with some of hip-hop's greatest, including Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Jay-Z and Def Jam. And lately his name is smeared across tabloids because his wife, “Milkshake” singer Kelis, is divorcing him.
