Nas is fighting back. The recently divorced father is trying to block his ex-wife Kelis from receiving any spousal support.
The “Milkshake”singer is asking for $72,728 a month, reports tmz.com, a number that has forced The N to file legal papers to the judge in their divorce case.
As previously reported, back in July, the Queensbridge-bred rapper was ordered to pay $44,000 a month in child support for their newborn son, Knight Jones.
In addition to the trying to block Kelis’ from getting spousal support, Nas is also trying to get joint custody of their child. —Max G

And rightfully so… he should take care of his kid, which I’m sure that he will, but, I agree, that she shouldn’t get a dime of spousal support, in my opinion. That’s a perk of being in the relationship. When you split up, you’re on your own. She needs to woman up & handle her’s & stop looking for hand outs.
Besides, the child support should be more than enough for her to live on. That kid is making more in a month, then most people seeing in a year. Kelis needs to get a grip on reality.

That’s re-God-Damn-diculous!!!! seriously over 72 thou a month for fuckin spouse support. I thought she was already gettin 44 thou for the kid. I understand Nas gotta give Kelis something, but still if she want that kind of money then she needs to do another album or get a 9 to 5 cause I doubt Nas gonna give her that kind of money

CoSign…. He may have to do this bitch in for real. The kind of money he is coughing up NOW will have the kid be a millionaire before the summer of 2011. Bullshit!
If this fails and Nas has to cough up that additional 77k, he’ll easy lose an average of 1.2M+ a YEAR. Think about that. This isn’t 50, Jay, Cube or even Wayne… this is Nas and we KNOW his wallets aint built like that…
God help him…

All the court-mandated hoops & hurdles NaS is jumping through is stressful enough, on top of not being there with his son, without cameras, microphones & paparazzi all in dude’s business. Let this man live, & find some real news to report.
But let this be a lesson to you younger dudes… Strap up & choose wisely.

@ geico lizard
If memory serves me, they(nas & kelis)were seen having dinner together not too long ago. My guess is that his lawyers advised him to at least try to reconcile his differences with her. The problem is that he go married to her, in California, with no pre-nump. He’s getting screwed, and despite feeling sorry for him, you can’t help but to aknowledge the fact that he got himself in this mess. You’d think he would’ve learned a thing or two about treachary from Carmen(and he should be thankful that he didn’t marry her too), but I guess not.

BK's Finest says:
Of course no child needs $70,000+ let alone half than that a month to take care of a kid. But what no one understands is how the court system works nowadays. If a male celebrity is wealthy and live rich, the system feels that their child(ren) should live just as wealthy as they do. So it wouldn’t look right if Nas live in a big ass mansion in L.A., shopping in Bev Hills and eating caviar while his child lives in an average house in Queens, shops in Queens center mall, and eating mcdonalds. (Not saying he would allow his son to live that way btw) So sadly Nas will most likely take an “L” on this one.
Lesson learned: Always get to know these women fully mind, body and sprit before you get involved with them and don’t base everything on looks. And it takes years to truly know somebody.

That’s fuckin sick how could u have that much malice in your heart towards someone you don’t even know. You don’t know what type of man Nas was to Kelis, obviously he wasn’t as fucked up as you thinking the bitch married his ass. U don’t have any proof that the man cheated just like i dont, and how in the fuck do you know if Kelis wasn’t a loose goose heaven knows shes got a WHOLE lot of credit as a stand up chick with her biggest hit being a song about her tits bringing boys to the yard. It’s women like you that make niggas think twice about having kids and tying the knot. Fuck That Bullshit never in my life will i ever go up in a bitch raw i don’t care bout how wet the pussy get or how bad she wanna “feel me”. And that’s realer than real deal holyfield

everyone knows why Kelis want money from Nas, for 1 he dropped her, the only good song she came out with was “milkshake, everything else she made I wouldnt even except it, if she gave it to me. she is trying to live on Nas, because she knows her music is CORNY, and CORNY is an old saying, so you know she is played out. who knows. for all we know she might of had that baby by Nas, because she knows thats her meal ticket. Kelis you and your music S U C K. go get a job.

spousal support is and will always be bullshit. once the relationship is over the free ride is over. get a job bitch! and that dosen’t just go for Nas that goes for everybody. support, alimony is all bullshit. child support is understandable, but no child requires $44,000 a month to raise. that’s also bullshit. family’s raise children comfortably on a fraction of that. these gold diggin bitches need a reality check. and these dudes need to get there prenup and condom game’s tight.

Why would you need spousal support ?
“Well, I was used to live with a certain standard. I just can’t be poor.”
Well I used to fuck you everytime I want, bitch ! I get to keep my standard and you’ll keep yours.
If I can’t fuck the living shit outta yo greedy ass anymore whenever the fuck I want, guess what ? I’ll keep the money you wanted me for in the first place !

@ Brand New
so your honestly telling me that you think $44,000 a month to raise one child is fair? and you agree that he should have to pay $72,000 a month to support her because she’s a failed artist that can’t make her own money?
i’m in no way taking shots at you. if your going to school and got your own then much respect to you, shit i need one just like you, but you can’t honestly say this is fair.

I think it’s fair for “their” lifestyle. As far as the spousal support goes, marriage is supposed to be forever. So I’m guessing that support is a reminder of that. If she made more she would have to support him i.e., Britany/Kevin. You guys are always so hard pressed against us women. Men can be so cruel to the women who are the more fragile of the two.
If you love us we’ll love you back.
And she’s not an failed artist. She just signed with Epic. Plus, she banks like 30k a month! That’s crazy cake!
