Kelis and her children escaped death after they "almost fell off a cliff"

She said in her footage, which showed her vehicle dangling over a

precipice: "My truck got stuck... it's, like, hanging."

Adding about how they were rescued, she went on: "Praise God the tow truck actually made it. We've been outside for awhile."

While showing off the snowboarding gear she was wearing, which Kelis - born Kelis Rogers - called "ridiculous fashion", she added: "I'm wearing layers to keep warm. I've got my light on, thank God, because it's pitch black out here. Silver boots... a little reflective action. Things could be worse."

Kelis added in a caption on the video she had planned to take her kids to experience snow in California's first blizzard storm since 1989, despite warnings not to venture out.

The mum-of-three had son Knight, now 13, in 2009 with ex-husband Nas, 49, and welcomed another boy, Shepherd, seven, with her second husband Mike Mora, who she married in 2014, along with a daughter, Galilee, two.

Kelis said it was "freaking awful" when singer Mike, 37, died in March last year after he lost a battle with stage 4 stomach cancer.

She said in a statement in September about his death: "It wasn't something that was sudden. We were able to prepare, and love, and say goodbye.

"It's freaking awful, but I am grateful."
