Kelis Says Nas Has Cut Her Off Without A Penny

Posted Mon Jun 15, 2009 12:58pm PDT by Andy Pemberton in Musictoob

Kelis says that estranged husband Nas has cut her off without a penny--just as she is expecting their child this month.

According to legal papers, rap star Nas is not paying any prenatal expenses and Kelis is flat broke. "I have run out of money," she said.

Kelis is asking a judge to order Nas to pay spousal support, child support, all pregnancy-related expenses, and one half of all medical expenses after the child is born. She also wants $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child's birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs, and other baby supplies.

Kelis says she is entitled to maintain the lifestyle she became accustomed to during their marriage. That was a lifestyle that involved owning expensive jewelery, like a diamond bracelet worth $190,000, a 9-carat, cushion-cut solitaire diamond engagement ring, and numerous watches "such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller, and Chopard." The couple also owns five homes.

Nas has not yet responded.

wow..see a lot of women bashing the brotha's out there. Like all groups there are good and bad among them. I'm a good man and have been with some crazy women...sometimes it's ya'll fault too. Why are we even talking about this anyways cause we know he will be ordered to pay, and I don't know if that's the only kid, but as far as I know you don't have to pay child support for a unborn child so can we all let people work out the problems they have .....none of this has anything with the music either one of them puts out.

wow kelis cant be serious.... me being nas i would only pay for the baby's needs when he/she is born. She can work like evryone else or get back to recording music. Where did all her money go?

chile boo!! dis is 2 much drama! if kelis was rich b4 she met the dude what happened?? i believe nas needs 2 man up and take care of his child, BUT keep in mind kelis can't take care of his child unless she's stable enough 2 take care of herself.

To Kelis: Definately, keep ur head up....I know how it feels to be left at a time like this...do not stress urself or the baby...rally around family and friends to get you through this time....you don't need a nurse sweetheart, take whatever monies you have and invest into a future for you and the baby...and yes....get that money!!

To Nas: Pray.....if this goes down "Hollywood Style" I feel sorry for you....jus throw her somethin to take care of herself and the baby...think about Lil Nas who had nothin to do with all of this drama...be easy

my comment goes in response to Sharia #8
Black men started dogging out Black women long time ago with women of other races, stopped taking care of their own children just to take care of children that was not born of him, my words to you dear, is that Black Women are TIRED, tired of struggling, tired of trying to keep a family together, when all odds are against her, tired of doing without, and when opportunity comes along for her to spend some money she just lose control and go buck wild. She feels good to spend and enjoy some part of this life. So if that means she has to go to another woman(temporary) or a man outside of her race, than I say you go girl, Get that happiness and/or peace; only if it is temporary. It better to have live it , than not.
In the case of this couple, we all have our problem, no comments, or criticism will fix their problem, they must do it themselves. Putting others in your personal business will only make things worse and you will end up on the internet, I will rest my case.

Too many fans are referring to Black Man & Black Woman problems...Nas and Kelis is a prime example of a people problem. Too many people use the "love" word loosely and the result is a speedy marriage then pregnancy. In stead of male bashing Nas and female bashing Kelis we need to step back and let them deal with their situation. Hopefully the divorce will be amicably resolved resulting with what's best for their child.

Gosh..he just cold

31. Happy Customer -
Well it seems a few months ago things were fine enough between them to create this baby she is carrying...so what really could have happened between then and now?! If it was bad already well how dare you get pregnant, a child needs 2 parents so grow up and figure out how to get along for the next 18 years and when that's up you can go your sep. ways...but come on Nas this is your child right?? So take care of your business financially and manly!!!

Guess her milkshake went sour Nas stopped coming to the yard

33. Yahoo! Music User -
I love Nas and shoot I`ve been waiting 4 him 2 be free again, but i dont know the situation as far as the break up but he does need 2 take care of his children regardless of the circumstances. Kelis need 2 woman up and stop tryin 2 make my boy look bad cause im sure theres 2 sides 2 every story. Nas 2 real 4 me 2 believe he just dogged her out like that. That nubian prince is real maybe shes da fake in da relationship. Diva

Ilike them both get along that life

I think you should get toknow some one before you get into something as serious as marriage,50cent made a comment about kelis on a song and i quote kelis said her milkshake broght all the boys to the yard then nas turns around and marrys the brod, i guess 50 was right,personally yes i,d give child support but that maintaning her life style that shouldn,t happen cause she had money just like nas,what happened with her money she made of her record sells,thats what she gets for trying to live up to the diva image and life styleyes you only live once but you also live smart and save money for rainy days.She needs to make a song named i was bossy but now i,m broke it might sell,i say give her gold digging ass 2 of the homes and about 250k and dont f?*#@ with her ass no more and get joint custody of the little one.So her gold digging ass wont be trying to bleed the god for all he has.Nas should have spotted this coming cause it,s not like kelis is a major player in the record biz yeah her singles sold but not her intire album you can take a girl out of the projects but you can never take the projects out of the girl.

I feel sorry for both parties, well let me change that I feel sorry for the family unit as a whole, I pray God touches both of their hearts and allow them to realize, there's more to life than THINGS, i pray that the marriage is restores and the family saved.

37. Rio -
IF he's the father, he needs 2 step up to the plate and do the right thing...at least for baby boo...as far as spousal support, etc...the courts will decide, until then, she needs to focus on the essentials, not what she's accustomed to..GOD will provide!
Broke or not, she should be planning her comeback so she can get on with her OWN life....YOU GO GIRL!!!! CHA-CHING, CHA-CHING, CHA-CHING!!!

KELIS HAS ALWAYS AND FOREVA B MY IDOL NO MATTER WAT FIRST OFF. BUT SHE HAS MADE A BAD JUDGEMENT SHE SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM SIGN SOMETHING. AND CAN YOU BLAME A GIRL FOR WANTING TO LIVE A LAVISH LIFE, AFTER ALL SHE HAS PUT UP WITH DAMN CUT HER SOME SLACK. THE BABY IS THE MAIN PRIORITY AND NAS SHOULD PAY AND SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THESE YOUNG SORRY ASS FATHERS OUT HERE THESE DAYS WHO DNT DO NOTHING. I REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND WORK IT OUT AT LEAST FOR THE CHILDS SAKE. I LOVE BOTH OF YALL BUT LETS GET IT TOGETHER.

39. Yahoo! Music User -
Why wouldn't he want to pay for the child's expenses unless he believes the child isn't his?

40. Constance -
Nas I want you to get it 2gether. U know if u buy expensive things for your wife then you decide to leave, of course you need to be prepared to continue 2 keep her up. Especially since the 2 of you are about to have a baby soon. Should have thought about that when you were callin your lawyer for the divorce. As they say its cheaper to keep her.
