The petition that has 620,127 signatures is delivered to the FOX media organisation in Manhattan.
Nas, who is married to fellow hip hop artist Kelis, has added his name to the objection that accuses the organsation of racism against Black Americans.
And the accusation more specifically to presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.
Among the incidents listed include on-screen graphic that referred to Mrs. Obama as "Obama's baby mama," an anchor called a fist bump between Barack and Michelle a "terrorist fist jab", and FOX personality Bill O’Reilly suggested calling a "lynching party" to deal with Mrs. Obama.
The signatures were obtained through an online petition via ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org. The Brave New Foundation also gathered signatures for the petition.
