Nicki Minaj and Nas Lock Lips

Apparently, i guess Nas wants to be in the public more these days. This came from left-field for me. Anyway, the Nas kissing Nicki Minaj picture you are looking at is not real; at least as long as acting is concerned. Nas plays Nicki Minaj's Boyfriend in the video to her new single, "Right By My Side". What i am interested in knowing is who requested this...did Nicki Minaj request Nas be in the video?

Read the news below-

Nicki Minaj has posted the official music video for her brand new single 'Right By My Side' which features R&B star Chris Brown as well as hip hop star Nas portraying her boyfriend in the film. The 'Fly' star can be seen sharing several intimate moments including a passionate kiss at the end of the film with the rapper - which saw her teaming up once again with director Benny Boom. The singer has a blonde hairstyle throughout the video and also can be seen dancing and joking around with Chris during one scene. (Capital FM)

Nicki relies on a romantic vibe and setting to tell the song's story.

It's all pretty rosy as the lovesick couple share deep conversation and an inside joke as Nas hands his honey a silver dollar, which she flips into a wishing well. The clip has all the makings of a Nicholas Sparks romance flick: There's PDA, hand-holding, shopping trips and outdoor lunches. In one scene, Nas -- who sports his trademark half-moon Caesar and big-framed 1980s-inspired glasses -- surprises Nicki with a new car, topped off with a pink bow, of course. The reigning rap queen is so excited she leaps into his open arms. (MTV)

Nas has always been known to be a recluse, i just hope this works well for him with his fans. I guess he is going hard with promoting his 10th album...Life Is Good.
