I Am...The Autobiography is a 1999 studio album by rapper Nas for the Columbia Records label. Considered a comeback album after a three-year gap between releases, the album features the singles "Nas is Like" and "Hate Me Now".

Puff Daddy, a featured artist on "Hate Me Now", shot a scene for its music video in which he was crucified, and subsequently felt uncomfortable with it and asked it to be edited out of the final cut. A cut containing the crucifiction scene was mistakingly delivered to MTV, and aired on TRL on April 15 1999. A furious Puff Daddy alleging barged into the offices of Nas' manager Steve Stoute later that afternoon and attacked him, at one point hitting him over the head with a champagne bottle. Stoute filed a lawsuit against Puffy, which was later settled out of court.
