Nas Wears N****r T-Shirt At Grammys

Nas has caused yet more controversy over his use of the word 'Nigger', after wearing a t-shirt that featured the slogan at the Grammy Awards last night - February 10th.
The word is of course the much-reported (and much criticised) name of the rapper's next album and in hopes of publicising the release, both he and his wife - r&b singer Kelis - were wearing clothing that displayed the title.
At the event, Nas told CNN: "Its all the experiences we go through every day, of all ethnicities - Black, White, indifferent."
"We've all at some point felt discriminated on, whether it's in Dominican Republic, whether it's in China, whether it's in Iraq with soldiers getting their heads blown off for reasons we don't know why. The meaning of the word is supposed to be ignorant."
"So no longer are Black people still niggers, it's also me and you (a white correspondent). I want people to think about what I'm thinking about today."
