Gloria Velez recently sat down with VladTV, where she claimed she witnessed a shocking personal encounter between Nas and a girlfriend of rap rival Jay-Z.
According to Velez, the drama began in 2001 during the filming of Nas and Bravehearts’ “Oochie Wally” video. She said director Benny Boom had asked her to help find other women for the shoot, including one who happened to be dating Jay-Z at the time.
After production wrapped, Velez said she and Jay’s girlfriend went back to Nas’ hotel room. Nas allegedly made advances and proposed a threesome, which Velez declined.
“He was like, ‘Come into the room. Let’s do this, let’s do that.’ I’m like, ‘Nah, I’m good,’” Velez claimed.
Her friend, however, didn’t listen to her warnings and ended up sleeping with the rapper.
“So I watched them have sex. I didn’t participate in any of that,” Velez said. “I guess [Jay] found out or whatever the case may be. But yeah, it was crazy. Jay was really into her. He really loved her.”
Velez recalled that Jay’s girlfriend was young, in her late teens, and new to the entertainment world. She described her as naive and said the relationship with Jay was serious enough that he gave her a job at his Rocawear brand.
Velez said she advised her friend not to get involved with Nas, believing it would cause problems. She added that Jay eventually found out about the incident, which only intensified his issues with Nas.
During the interview, Vlad noted that Jay-Z and Nas had a complicated romantic history, referencing Nas’ ex Carmen Bryan, who previously admitted to having an affair with Jay while she was still with Nas. Velez agreed that the overlap in their love lives contributed to the tension between the two hip-hop icons.
Velez explained that despite Jay’s own infidelities, his girlfriend was expected to remain loyal, calling it a double standard.
