“I think what was always weird to me is realizing that he was famous,” says Yara. “In my head I was like, ‘He’s a great rapper, and he’s pretty good if I say so myself.’ I would [talk to] people and whenever it would come up in a conversation I was like, ‘Oh yeah, you might have heard of him. Um, my cousin’s Nasir, um, Nas.’ And they’d be like, ‘Oh, I have.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, that’s so cool.'”

Yara further explains that she did not know that Nas was a celebrity until she was 10-years-old. “I didn’t know that a lot of people listen to him,” shares the star. “I thought that he just knew a ton of people.”
