In a behind-the-scenes video released today, Nas reveals more about his forthcoming album with prolific reggae artist Damian "Junior Gong" Marley. As we said back in February, the two have been working on a record that melds hip-hop and reggae. While it was originally slated for spring, then summer, we've gotten word that it's now going to drop in September.

Entitled 'Distant Relatives,' the duo reveal that the album's not-so-subtle intentions are to raise awareness around Africa. "The idea started out as doing an EP together," Marley says. "This project with Nas is to come together and do some music on behalf of Africa. " While the video doesn't give much away in terms of the actual music, there are hints that it's going to incorporate a bevy of live instrumentation arrangements, including guitars and string sections.

According to TMZ, singer, and rapper Nas' soon-to-be ex-wife, Kelis claims she is flat broke and needs her hubby to cough up some funds. "I have run out of money," the pregnant singer claims.

Kelis recently filed legal papers requesting Nas pay spousal support, child support and pregnancy-related expenses, including her medical bills.

The 'Milkshake' singer wants $3,500 for a baby nurse after the child's birth, and $20,000 baby supplies, including a stroller, crib, etc.

"My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid," Kelis said.

Reports about hip-hop power couple Kelisand Nas' divorce have been spreading for some time, but until now there has been little explanation as to what went down between the Queens, NY, rapper and his songstress wife.

That is, until last week, when Kelis to her Twitter page to discuss the topic of "cheaters," with so much vitriol that we can only guess as to the subject of her anger.

"This lovely day I would like to touch on cheaters," she began. "Why be cowardly, why not go after what you really want? Do people know what they want? Probably not, which just goes into know and respecting one's self. Also we can discuss whores, I mean the nasty, sub-par tricks that participate in the cheating. Well let me say this, both parties are gross. And in reality they deserve each other."

Divorces are never pretty and it looks like things are about to get ugly between rap icon Nas and his pregnant, soon to be ex-wife, Kelis. According to reports, Nas does not want to pay his estranged (and, just a reminder, pregnant!) wife a dime in spousal support.

After being reportedly separated for a few weeks, Kelis, who's now almost eight months pregnant, filed for a divorce on April 30. The singer cited "irreconcilable" differences and was seeking child support, spousal support and joint custody of the pair's unborn child, but Nas has asked a judge to deny her spousal support request. The rapper is also requesting that Kelis pay her own legal fees.

Looks like another one bites the dust. After four years of marriage, singer Kelis has reportedly had enough and is calling it quits with husband, rap star Nas. The 'Milkshake' -- or more appropriately, 'Caught Out There' -- singer filed for divorce yesterday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Kelis, who's now seven months pregnant, has cited irreconcilable differences and is already seeking child support and joint cust for the pair's unborn child.

"I can confirm that she has filed for divorce," a rep for Kelis told Vibe magazine. "We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time."

Rapper Nas and wife, R&B singer Kelis are expecting their first child together and it looks like the couple is stuck on choosing a name. In a recent interview, Nas revealed they had a few ideas in mind, but nothing set in stone. "Yeah, [we are deciding between] a few baby names. It's kinda hard."

The Queens emcee also admits he isn't opposed to getting help from fans via the internet. "I've been thinking about kinda putting something online: 'Choose his name,'" Nas joked. "You get a couple stacks for that. We take care of you for that. You win something real. But we're thinking now."

Thus far, Kelis is having a healthy pregnancy. The couple's new bundle of joy is expected to arrive this summer. This will be Nas' second child; he also has a 15 year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

In what has become a tradition, several of the acts who will be participating in this summer's 'Rock the Bells' tour got together in Southern California for a press conference that turned into a full-scale party. Supernatural got the celebratory aspect off with a ridiculous freestyle listing of every act on this summer's 10-city tour. How hot was it? So hot that the mighty KRS-One, one of the "hosts" for this year's RTB, couldn't stop talking about it 10 minutes later.

But for everyone who gathered at the Key Club last night, being a fan is part of RTB. "I'm a fan of all these guys in here, what they're doing, they're bringing hip-hop where it needs to be," Raekwon told the BoomBox. And Tech N9ne was still in awe over his seat assignment in the press conference when he spoke to the Boombox. "This is crazy because I was actually sitting next to KRS-One," Tech said. "Being onstage with KRS, Raekwon, and Damian Marley and Nas, it's overwhelming, man. It's like validation that I've been doing the right thing all these years to be amongst all these wonderful people."
