Taking to Twitter, Nas thanked his fans while slamming critics who called him a one-hit wonder. “Y’all told a 19 year old who had just escaped the lowest point of his life that he would never have a hit again,” he wrote. “You told him to stop while he’s ahead. he could’ve gave up. but 4 multi platinum songs and 2 #1’s later, he’s still here. thank you to my team and my fans!”
He later added, “SUCK MY DICK! LETS GOOOO!!”
