During this past weekend’s epic blizzard in California, Kelis stated that she came dangerously close to falling and documented the incident on social media.
The “Milkshake” hitmaker is seen wrapped up in a video that was posted on Instagram on Sunday (February 26) where she speaks to the camera. The beeping of a rescue truck may be heard close.
“So here’s the thing: my truck got stuck. It’s like hanging off a cliff now,” Kelis says as the wind whips in the background. “Its crazy how the tow truck actually made it.
“We’ve been outside for a while, but we had all our snowboarding gear so God is good, and I figured if you’re going to be in this situation, you should at least look your best.”
She continued: “So I’m wearing layers to keep warm. I’ve got my light on which is good because it’s pitch black out here…you know, things could be worse. This is rescue fashion. See? Always be prepared.”
When the mishap occurred, Kelis said in the caption, she was attempting to take her kids skiing.
“My plan was to take the kids to the snow , but we almost fell off a cliff” she wrote. “So make the best of what ya got, [and] always be prepared lol.”

The strange weather isn’t only affecting musicians like Kelis. After waking up to bitter cold and wind chill, Jim Jones and his fellow New Yorkers revised their “Weavahman Jim” personas earlier this week.
“Man, fuck this weather and whoever the fuck is in charge because the shit is just not adding up at this fucking point anymore,” he barked in a video posted on Instagram. “A n-gga told me it was damn near 80 in Philly yesterday and snowing in New York today. The shit is just goin’ wild.
“What’s next? A n-gga don’t even know how to get dressed anymore. There was no snow advisory. N-gga, I don’t make the weather, I report the weather. So someone gotta tell me what’s going on, ya heard? Fuck it, no Air Force 1’s. Baby girl, you could do the Uggs and shit like that.”
After her husband Mike Mora passed away at the age of 37 from stage 4 cancer in September of last year, Kelis has kept a low profile in the music world.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Kelis said she was grateful for the opportunity to say goodbye slowly.
“It wasn’t something that was sudden,” she said. “We were able to prepare, and love, and say goodbye. We were able to spend the time that we needed to, as much as we were given, the best way that we could. Is it a great situation? No, it’s freaking awful, but I am grateful.”
She added: “It was out of our hands from the beginning. We’re just grateful for what we had. It’s part of life.”
