Miami Beach police reported that singer “Kelis” Rogers-Jones, 27, was arrested at 4:30 a.m. and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence after she allegedly rushed toward cops screaming racial profanities, according to a police report. The officers were in the midst of an undercover prostitution sting along a main avenue in the South Beach nightclub district. The report said they were questioning a group of men about two suspected female prostitutes who were spotted in the area when Kelis began rushing toward them using racial profanities and screaming that one of the men in the group was her husband, Nas.

Sources say that Kelis and husband, rapper Nas were coming from a basketball game when some women tried to approach Nas. Observers say that Kelis began screaming racial obscenities towards the women and began charging at them as friends tried to hold her back.

Associated Content reported that a popular radio station in Philadelphia reported the incident differently. The radio station says they received reports that Kelis and Nas were allegedly walking by a South Beach nightclub when they tried to pick up two prostitutes that they did not know were undercover officers.

The singer was released on $1,500 bond hours after being arrested, Miami-Dade County jail spokeswoman Janelle Hall said.
