Nas generated huge controversy when he announced that he would use the “n-word” as the title of his new album.
Ew.com reports that, after apparent renewed pressure, Nas has backed off. A Def Jam representative told the site that the title will be “Nas.”
In a statement, Nas later clarified to ew.com that he considers his new album untitled, saying: “I want my fans to know that, creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. …The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it.”
