Nas Tries to Stop Kelis From Getting $70k+ Spousal Support

Nas is still fighting to keep his money from ending up in the pockets of ex-wife Kelis.

According to TMZ.com, Nas' lawyer, Marc Vincent Kaplan, filed legal papers requesting the judge bar his ex from receiving the $72,728 a month in spousal support she has requested. Additionally, the Queensbridge rapper is seeking joint custody of their infant son Knight.

As previously reported, Nas was ordered to pay Kelis $44,000 in child and spousal support plus her legal fees. Kelis' lawyer Laura Wasser filed a motion to increase the payments based on Nas' monthly income of $240,000. But Kelis didn't stop there; she also asked for more than $400,000 in additional support.

While pregnant, Kelis argued that she was totally dependent on her Nas' financial support as she was not able to work. A judge ordered Nas to foot the bill for her monthly mortgage payments, prenatal expenses and medical insurance.

The couple split in April, citing irreconcilable differences. When they were spotted together recently in a New York City nightclub, it sparked rumors of a reconciliation, but that is clearly not the case.

These days Nas can't seem to catch a break, at least financially. Last month the IRS filed a lien against him for tax payments totaling $2,584,206.31 stemming from unpaid taxes in both 2006 and 2007.

for someone to consider this music crap. you sure do know his full name. how is that? it wasnt mentioned.

did you child tell you his name? white kids are the number one buyer of this "crap" music you hate so much. i bet your parents hated whatever kind of bulls*t music you listened to also.

oh, did i forget to mention, "crap" music is the number one sellin form of music in the world!

its used in all the advertisements for everything from tv shows and movies to air fresheners and pepto bismal.

i even hear it playin on the intro to some national news shows.

try as you might, you cant stop rap music. all you can do is turn your nose up at a culture you never attempted to understand.

and give my thanks to your child for supporting rap music.

im counting on them when my album comes out!

Ok check that sh** at the door she is used to a certain lifestyle get this even if they were together he wouldn't be spending that much on her or his son combine and that the most disturbing factor for all his politcal or controversal views he has to pay those high sums, poor judgement on the court system part and she should get even less because she falsely blab out an outrageous dollar amount that he makes a year and now probadly got the IRS to look into the 11 million a year, the allegations will hurt all the parties involed except the lawyers... Stupid fight it my dude.

the only thing i know is if any child needs money like this to be raised send that child to the parent that got the loot. if i ever had to pay this amount i would need documentation that these funds are being spent on my child. there are people who have kids without marriage and still get blown up like this

This guy has to pay back the IRS over 2.5 million. If true that's just for 2006 and 2007. What about 2008 and 2009? They both have very high priced lawyers who are loving this fight as they all do. The IRS and Lawyers always come out on top.

I am not a fan, nor will ever be, of r&b or rap(crap)music, but it really seems like the monthly spousal support is quite a bit excessive, especially when Kelis is asking for more than 400,000 in additional support from the rap(crap)so-called singer. IF, a big IF, she had any sources of income of her own coming in, adjust the cild support bill. I agree on him paying half the prenatal and medical expenses. Another one I have a problem with is spousal support. Did she not have any source of income of her own, apart from his earnings, when they were married, such as a jewelery or perfume line? If so, did she frivolously spend money that she earned? The last thing I have a question about is the monthly mortgage payment. From what the IRS is wanting from him, it looks like Mr. Nasir Jones must of spent more money than he had coming in. Who oversees their finances, him, or a financial advisor? Mr. Jones, I hope you have a good divorce lawyer.

Over 72,000.00 per month for spousal and child support. Even down to 44,000.00 plus per month. This is nothing but FINANCIAL RAPE. The only ones who come out are the lawyers and the IRS. The longer the fight the more money they make. The IRS gets the first crack at the money. The lawyers get the rest if any money left.
