A comprehensive list of reasons why Nas is a class act and deserves far more recognition than that he is currently receiving would require a thesis length discussion, the scope for which we simply do not have in this concise article format.
So instead, here are a few standout reasons why Nas is the best lad in the Love Island villa - and quite literally more than just his height.
Nas is funny: he's been involved in some of the most stellar comedic moments of the series so far.
Notable points include talking about stirring the sauce for an extended period of time, falling off the tooth-shaped chair, and sprawling across the bed chatting away while Siannise practically falls off the thing.
Nas is loyal: and unfortunately, in this early stage of the game, it does appear as though he's going to continue to be loyal although he's getting very little back from anybody else.
He tried his best with Siannise, despite her complaints. He saved Jess from being dumped from the island even though things would never work between them.
He has quickly become The Guy In The Friend Couple, and will probably continue to be so for the remainder of the show.
And he'll be OK with that. Because he's a good guy.
Nas is extremely handsome and, no, his height does not refute this fact: c'mon lads, he is.
Look at that face. Look at that smile. Look at those loud shorts that he entered with and was subsequently dragged over despite literally having no other choice but to be dressed by Boohoo Man.
Nas is, quite simply, trying his best: and guys, really, aren't we all?
As Her's Cassie Stokes so earnestly put it in one of our more recent episodes of I've Got A Text (available to listen on Spotify, Soundcloud, and wherever else you get your podcasts), "what's wrong with small, dark, and handsome?"
And indeed, what is?
And hey listen, I get the height thing. I truly do.
If I was also a 5 foot 10 willowy goddess with legs that stretched the length of the M50, I too would be in the market for a man who was tall. Or at the very least, as tall as me.
But I'm not, and to be honest, neither are most of the people who seem to have a problem with Nas's 5 foot 7 stature.
The lad has become the Alex George of 2020, the Chris Taylor of this year, the comic relief that we so desperately crave in a show that is so chock full of drama, snakes, and heads being turned.
And that's great. He's getting his air time, he'll make that sweet coin once he leaves the villa doing #sponcon for burger sauce or whatever.
But he deserves better.Explore more on these topics:
