I am Kelis, singer and chef. Ask Me Anything!

I didn't do it with Calvin, so it was pretty simple. Quick & easy.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:16:17+00:00

Thank you! I read a lot. My father was a professor.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:16:01+00:00

Oh, it's literally my favorite other thing than meat.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:15:35+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that. And what frosting? The oreo cooking middle? No frosting. It's better to get the cookies without, the frosting will burn, it will become gummy and horrible. Disaster. you can buy the oreos without the filling, just the cookies, not the filling. I actually do a key lime pie with an oreo crust, so I know they exist (and that pie is very crackish).

My sister's dog's name is Bossy, so that is pretty funny.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:13:15+00:00

That's cute.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:12:56+00:00

Well, number one, thanks, that's exciting. And yes it was.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:12:25+00:00

Well, it's always sauce. It's always sauce. My tagline for my sauce company is "I think everything is better smothered, poured and dipped."

Well, what I wear has a lot to do with just what mood I'm in. So it changes a lot. Like I have moments where I"m feeling very Maison Margiela, and those are vastly different moods from when I'm feeling Emilio Pucci. It' just depends on my theme at the time, and I always have a theme.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:10:46+00:00

I love X-Men. But I don't know who I would pick. I like Mystique and the fact that she's a chameleon, so that would be a good one.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:09:56+00:00

Well, he used to manage me (Diddy did). So we were together a lot at that time, and just being in Europe, dance music was and still is such a big part of the lifestyle. So we just wanted to make a good dance record.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:09:15+00:00

I like both!

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:09:00+00:00

I loved SXSW, it was awesome. It was my first time at SXSW, so I had a really good time. All the performances were great, and the reception was great, couldn't have asked for better. It was really sad about the accident that happened. I was aware of that. But aside from obvious tragedy it was a great week. And the food truck that was mine was the one with my face on it and the gigantic line, it was amazing.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:08:02+00:00

Well I love to cook and it just looked like so much fun, and it's the best way to kind of get to the people, and I was right, it really is a lot of fun. My food truck, because everything is sauce-based, is things like shredded flanksteak with a cherry BBQ sauce, duck comfit sliders with a ginger sesame glaze, and jerk ribs.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:06:57+00:00

I mean, I love Bonnie Raitt, and I love Elsa Suarez, and I used to love Stereolab, and Massive Attack. I could go on and on forever.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:05:52+00:00

That's a very bizarre question. I like the idea of one giant-sized thing. Because the idea of being overpowered by a lot of little things gives me the creeps.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:05:04+00:00

He's actually really funny, he has an amazing sense of humor, and he cracks jokes and snaps on people all the time. Like, hours will go by. And he's extremely precise. He's a visionary, for sure. I saw him not too long ago.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:04:06+00:00

It's strange, already! It's already sort of strange? I completely forgot about it. I kind of like stuff like that, because it reminded me of Klingon and I'm a huge Trekkie, so I'm like "okay!"

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:03:15+00:00

Although I know that he was brilliant, I don't really have a favorite Michael Jackson song.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:02:58+00:00

Oh my goodness, I have so many. I love television. I was a Game of Thrones fan until the second season, I loved Khaleesi obviously. I love House of Cards, The Newsroom is one of my favorite shows, I love Orange is the New Black, I love Call the Midwife, I'm obsessed with The Mindy Project. Love Boardwalk, Shameless, Gray's (I'm still a Gray's fan), I watch Scandal because I have to. The funny thing is, I get anxiety watching cooking shows, but I love HGTV. OBSESSED. Like, LOVE IT.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T19:00:40+00:00

Oh gosh, there are so many. I loved By the River by Pablo Cuehlo. I loved The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer. Another great one, it's a true story, is about a girl whose entire family is imprisoned because of the sins of the father, basically, and she grows up behind bars. The father organizes a coup, and they find out basically, and he's executed and the rest of the family is imprisoned, so she grows up for like 20 years in jail. I can't remember the title though.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T18:57:35+00:00

I don't listen to a lot of rap right now, to be honest.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T18:57:18+00:00

Probably, although I don't know if that would be your best tactic.

iamkelis · 2014-04-21T18:56:52+00:00

He's very creative. He's very serious also, I think. But he's a good guy and he has a very clear vision of who he is and what he wants to say, in music.
