Nas's ex-fiancée Carmen Bryan gave birth to their daughter, Destiny, in 1994 and on this song, the Queensbridge-raised MC raps some heartfelt verses about his teenage girl. They include some rhymes addressing the time back in February 2012 when Destiny posted a photo on Twitter showcasing a box filled with Trojan condoms. "She planted a box of condoms on her dresser then she Instagram-ed it," he spits. "At this point I realized I ain't the strictest parent."
This isn't the first time Nas has rapped about Destiny. He first referenced his daughter soon after she arrived in this world on the 1994 song, "The World Is Yours." Nas then sang of "daddy's little girl" on "Me & You (Dedicated to Destiny)," a track from his 2004 double album, Street's Disciple.
So what was Carmen Bryan's response to Destiny's father's song. "Just heard 'Daughters' by Nas. What a disappointment! He had nothing positive to say about our daughter and his depiction of her is false," she wrote on Twitter after its online release.
