And the winner is ... Kelis! A judge has ordered her soon-to-be ex-hubby Nas, to pay her $55,000 per month. The 29-year-old who just gave birth to the pair's first child together, Knight Jones, will receive the monthly payment, which will cover both child and spousal support. Nas, born Nasir Jones, will also foot the bill for his ex's mortgage, prenatal expenses and medical insurance. Additionally he will pay $35,000 to Kelis' lawyer Laura Wesser. A well-known celebrity divorce lawyer, Wesser's previous clients include Angelina Jolie, Stevie Wonder, and Britney Spears.
The estranged couple have been battling it out in court since news of their split broke in April. Kelis claimed that her ex was being stingy with his reported $11 million salary, incurred from his record deal with current label, Def Jam. Nas refuted such claims, noting that he made closer to $4 million from the deal.
Despite the birth of their son, it doesn't look like the two will be reconciling anytime soon. According to reports, Nas was noticeably intoxicated during an impromptu performance in his former Queens, NY, neighborhood. The rapper announced the birth of his son to the crowd but made no mention of Kelis.

I am in love and his name is Mr. Nature Cleanse http://cli.gs/NatureCleanse ! This is by far the best cleansing product available. I saw it on Oprah and thought I would give it a try. Nature Cleanse has pretty much changed the way I live my life. My daily chores are done in a breeze and I have more energy, not to mention more time in my day since I don't mind jumping out of bed in the mornings at 7:00 am now. This is not just a cleanser. It is also a detox. I can feel it working and have only been using it for 6 weeks.

Gee, how will she ever survive on that???? Ri-dic-ulous. Kids don't cost that much.
Krystalat 7-24-2009
No kids dont cost that much, but child support is determined by BOTH parents annual salaries. If he is making that much, then he should have to pay.
Patriceat 7-24-2009
You sound like a fool. Child support is based on income, not how much you feel it should take to take care of a child. Also, included in that amount is spousal support too. If he makes the money, then he should have to pay it. Are you saying that on his millions, she should only get a dime? Hardly. This, my dear, is the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Something you obviously don't know about. Maybe, you don't my getting the short end of this stick. Kelis, my dear, is way too smart for that. I hope you've learned something here.

Marriage is a contract between two people. If the marriage is called off, he should not have to pay her a dime. She should earn her own living!!! Gold digging Ho!! He should however, have to pay child support.
