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.

First NAS needs to get amniocentesis test now, or a DNA test to make sure that this baby is his, cause who's to say why they're getting a divorce. I would not want my son taking care of a child that is not his. So may be that's why NAS is holding back on that loot, hummmm! Now, if he is the dad, NAS please take care of your child, not the ex-chick who wants to live off the child's support. Also, what happen to Kelis's money? She is also entitled to some money, but not all that she trying to claim. There should be a set amount if there is no pre-nup agreement in place. I wish this would end more decently for the child's sake. Bless them all to be better than how they are behaving now.

Kelis is the one that filed for divorce... so if you wanna go down that road.. prepare for the consequences!

Nas will take care of her and the kids... Nas isn't some igorant thug with no conscience. Dude dropped out of school in the 8th grade and has a better vocabulary than 98% of English teachers in America.... I'm sayin he's a stand up guy and will take care of his seed.

and Kelis should just relax, take a deep breathe, call her mom or sisters or family.... call the Neptunes... and start crackin' now while your name is in the air.... cause sweety, if you depend on others- you will sometimes get burned!

BTW.. if you think Lil Wayne is the icon for Black Culture or Black Amerinca.. you have never seen true black culture or black america. TURN OFF YOUR CABLE BOX!

I'm confused.. how can u sue for child support b4 the baby arrives??? And why does he have to pay for ALL of the pregnancy expenses.. why shouldnt it be 50/50?? If u ask me Kelis is showing her true colors; no wonder he left her penniless!
oh and the previous comment about blackmen rich or poor not maning up must only b the men you f%*# with.. get your mind right and stop looking for handouts and you wont find yourself penniless!

Nas has lost his mind. Now you guys already know that the Judge is going to order him to pay up. He better get use to it.. Who knows, in the long run; he just might be the one who is broke.

108. Ninos -
All I have 2 say is: WHAT A WAST ,but he should pay 4 he's "BABY" if it's "HIS" (DNA) . I like both NAS & KELIS, I thought they would be different ... another broken fam ... NINOS from Los Angeles ...!

109. *~*Linds*~* -
When was having $20,000 a month considered poverty? Seriously, you're going to claim that you have no money, the baby isn't even born yet why do you need a nanny? Kelis needs to get kicked down a notch and really see what poverty is. When both you and your husband are out of work and NO ONE in a 50 mile radius is hiring, and you're on unemployement with bills to pay, then tell me whether you are poor or not. The nerve of some people

110. *~*Linds*~* -
Also I read that she spends $15,000 on entertainment, gifts, and vacations, up hello, if you're broke, stop going on vacations, stop spending your money, go on a budget, regular people do it, just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean it should be any different.

I guess her milkshake "Aint" bringing nas back to the yard.

Nas Pay the LADY!!!!!!!!!!!

113. A -
That's too bad. I thought they made a great couple

114. Nikki -
I don't know what is going on between them two, but something ain't right for him to act like that. He don't wanna give the girl no money, how dohe expect her to feed the baby, how do expect them to live. It's something else going on that's not being talked about, cause that man ain't just gonna cut her off like that unless he's just a low down u know what.

Nas gave kelis some of his milkshake now he is going to pay

People, notice that she wants the pre-natal care AFTER the baby is born. Nas is an intelligent and reponsible man, but he is not sure that the child is his, and that is one reason why they broke up in the middle of a pregnancy. After the child is born and they do the necessary DNA testing, then e may be required to pay her back. Besides, as you all have stated, Kelis is a grown woman who once had a career, she can pay for herself. I mean, the child is also her's. Why on earth does the man have to pay for everything? I like how she once hailed herself as this free-thinking, independent woman. Yeah, right!

is there more to this is it his

118. andrew -
We do not know the whole picture. As a real man I bet NAS has some reasons for his action. You might not agree with his reason but they are his reason. I am so tired of people running away with head line do we really know this is the truth. They are getting a divorce right. Well I wonder why could it be he is tired of supporting her and her new lifestyle did she cheat on him. We will never know. As a man I take care of mine kids call say they need something okay if reasonable you got it. That not including my child support that i pay. As for what a woman has got used to in a relationship maybe you should think about those perk when you making your man unhappy enough to want out of the union. Nas if the kids yours do the right thing man and handle yours. Now, for Kelis be a woman get yourself together hit the studio and gett your own bread.

Well, reguardless if she's pennyless-spousal support is granted in a divorce and so is child expenses. Didn't Britney Spears get the royal screw job on that? Nas is no different. What can I say-use protection if your money means that much to you!

120. the overweight lova -
alimony is one of the biggest jokes ever invented, i am all for takin care of your child by all means pay child support and be a father, but saying i have to pay you because your accustomed to our lifestyle? please Wtf is that about? you lived just fine before we met and no doubt you will after with out your hand in my pocket, If your so accustomed to it, Work and get there yourself hoe, yes HOE that'd be what u are if you want alamony Its called equal rights for a reason. has there ever been a man that got alamony? I highly doubt this, women stop expecting a handout because our relationship didn't work
