Kelis on the ups of motherhood

Kelis has revealed that she thinks becoming a mother has improved her as a person, causing her to become “more selfless and emotional”.

The singer has a 16-month-old son Knight with ex-husband Nas, who she split from while she was pregnant.

She said: "Motherhood has made me more selfless and emotional. Motherhood changes the way you look at people and human life.

"Babies make you more human, No matter how much it was explained to me, I didn't understand the strength of my feelings for him. He literally brings me joy."

The ‘A Capella’ singer also views her divorce as a positive event in her life as well as her varied life experiences, saying: "I'm more prepared about life, but I don't just think that's because of the divorce. I'm a mother, I'm 31, it's because of all kind of things.”
