by Karen
Like so many others, the holiday season is bringing out the best in Nas and for a noteworthy cause at that. Damian Marley’s partner-in-rhyme assisted in serving dinners to family affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic thrown by Maria Davis, both a professional in the music industry and activist for the fight against the disease. While helping out those in need, the Queensbridge legend couldn’t have appeared anymore satisfied doing so.
“This event is Maria Davis’ thing. She’s HIV-positive, a part of the community of Harlem, so she does her thing for [the] holiday season for the people who are infected by AIDS or affected by AIDS,” he explained to MTV News. “I came through [on the] strength of her friend Melba, who owns Melba’s Restaurant — great soul food on 114th street here in Harlem. She called me [and] I came through just for the support.”
