GROWING UP NAS
“My house was the
center — every
party, every dinner.
It felt like it was
always all about my
parents and me.”
THE MOMENT SHE
KNEW HER DAD
WAS FAMOUS
“I reached for
candy in the
checkout line at
the supermarket,
and my dad was on
a magazine. When
I started saying,
‘That’s Dad!’ my
mom hushed me.”
BEST SUMMER
VACATION “Dad
was promoting
Stillmatic with
Usher. I would sit
on a little box at
the side of the
stage and give
him a thumbs-up.
And he would give
me a thumbs-up
back, like, ‘OK, I’m
good.’ ”
THE WEIRD MIDDLE
GROUND “If your
parent is a rap star,
they didn’t come
from money. You’re
the first generation
who experiences
money, going to
private school. It’s
this weird middle
ground: You’re not
really from that
private-school
world, but you’re
not from where
your parent is from.
You get the street
smarts, but you
also get opportuni-
ties. It’s the best of
both worlds.”Destiny Jones
