Carmen Bryan Talks About Kelis as a "Step Mom"

Carmen Bryan, rapper Nas' baby's mother and former Jay-Z girlfriend, is causing a stir with an interview she's posted on her Web site. The interview reads like a ploy to generate buzz for an autobiography Bryan is shopping to publishers. She says the book is all about her life and explores "the good, the bad, the super ugly and then some." I'm not sure how interested publishers will be in an autobiography on Bryan's life -- she hasn't generated half the stir that Karrine "Superhead" Steffans has -- but some of the topics on her Web site certainly raise a few eyebrows.

On Kelis as a stepmother: "It's been challenging to say the least. Especially since Kelis doesn't have children. When a person that doesn't have kids enters a relationship with a person that does, there's going to be conflict. They don't always possess the skills necessary to deal with issues that are sensitive to a child, such as new relationships. In the beginning I was no less than supportive of their union. In fact, I told Nas, be good to this girl, don't do her like you did me. However, when I feel that my daughter isn't getting the respect that she deserves, I will step to you. From what I understand, Kelis is very bossy and controlling and that's fine, but no one is going to regulate my daughter!"
