This divorce ish is about to get real dirty between Nas and Kelis. How bad must things be if you’re not willing to help out the soon-to-be mother of your child.

Nas, one of the biggest and richest rappers around, does not want to pay his estranged, pregnant wife Kelis, a penny in spousal support.

Kelis filed for divorce April 30. She’s weeks from giving birth and unable to work, but no matter to Nas — he’s filed his response to the divorce, asking the judge to deny her the spousal support she’s seeking. For bad measure, he also wants her to pay her own lawyer’s fees.

Nas and Kelis both want joint custody of their unborn child.

Kelis cites “irreconcilable differences” for the divorce, but we’re told she believes he was cheating on her and that’s what buzz-killed the marriage.

This isn’t gonna end good at all.

    @ JB

    (in the voice of smokey) and you know this man!!

  • Toby

    i thought she had her own money….why go after his, all she needs is child support once that baby comes

  • me (the original)®

    Joint Custody…who’s going to have “physical custody” though? Probably Kelis. Which means Nas should pay something for child support.

    I think the better question is what’s the real reason behind the divorce. Is it solely just irreconcilable differences or did something more go on?

    Jury’s out at this point.

  • BlackFriday

    Spousal support for two years of marriage? Why the hell would she deserve that? Ho-support? GTFOH! Get a job like everybody else.

    @ golden

    jus playin witcha didn’t mean to scare you off. :-)

  • l thomas

    Well if she believes he cheated, call a spade a spade. Nas will have to pay child support, unless he can prove he’s not the father. As far as spousal support, I don’t know if she can get that.

  • Jet

    If she filed for divorce then she should pay for her own lawyers. Also why should he pay support when she has money?

  • ValleyGirl

    They were so cute!

    I will not hate on Nas – he wants to raise his child jointly with her, just not set up his ex-wife with spousal support. That’s fair.

    She filed for divorce in California, which is a community property, no-fault divorce state – barring some other agreement, she is entitled to half of whatever he made during the marriage, proceeds from the sale of the martial home, and keep whatever he has given her as a gift. She’ll be fine without spousal support and should get a dang job.

  • Aboogie

    on another website it indicates that Nas wants full custody… if thats the true scenario he shouldnt give her ish
    Kelis getting royalties from somewhere chick is BOSSY, no?

  • Jet

    Bossy chicks shouldn’t have to ask for support.

  • waka waka

    Chick is known for being freaky. I love Nas but come on people, sometimes you need to use discretion before you make big commitments (like marriage.) If people took marriage a little more seriously, perhaps they’d make better choices and the divorce rate wouldn’t be so high.

    Kelis better call Mashondas lawyer

    i’m bossy but can i have some money daddy?

    Damn. I really hate this for them. They truly were hip-hop royalty.

    They seemed to be the perfect fit for each other. WHY couldn’t they just stick it out and deal with whatever the issues were because they are going to have to still deal with each other for the rest of their lives anyway since this child is coming in to the world.

    As people we have to do better and stop jumping at every option out there just because something doesn’t go right. We would be a lot better off.

    As much as I LOVE Nas and was bummed to find out that we got married… I really had high hopes for their marriage. I really thought that theirs would’ve be one that could last.

  • WTF??

    DUH ITS NOT HIS BABY!!!! SHE CHEATED ON HIM!!!!

  • d303

    not surprised – that’s how n*ggaz act when it comes to matters of the wallet.

  • eveinthegarden

    He’s dreamin’. When a man walks in court and says, ‘dont give my pregnant wife ish’ it just makes him look BAAAAAAAAD. That lil stingy disease is going to come back and bite him hard in the arse.

  • eveinthegarden

    If Russ can split with Kimora and still be breakin her off maaaad cheese even though she has Baby Phat then Nas can break off Kelis. Period.

  • Tee

    If she filed for divorce than she should pay her own lawyer fees.

    They are adults .. they should come to an agreement for child support .. if he wont have physical custody of the child.

    And I agree .. he definitely needs to have a DNA test done .. because like Madea says .. ‘DANA dont lie’ .. lol

  • barb

    hey nas, call me.

  • always knew

    I could understandNas wiling out if the baby wasn’t his…

    Neither of them was all successful like that…

    I hope they can work it out, especially with kids in that mess..
    :(

  • zappy

    Kelis doesn’t have any money. Where would she get it?

    As to Nas, he’s going to have to pay her alimoy. They will probably have equal custody to the child (half time each) but she will get alimony.

    Nas looks dumb enough not to have had a PRENUP. Dumbass.

  • *Treasure*

    If Nas was the sole provider and supported Kelis throughout the marriage he will be ordered to pay spousal support.

  • http://iolastar.com/blog iolastar

    I hope they look at that baby and let the BS go.

  • nyob

    There is a difference between spousal support and child support. I am sure he will ensure that he pays his child support and since Kelis actually has a real career she will probably be able to provide her own support. Of course, the divorce attorneys and ultimately the judge will decide whether or not spousal support is due her.

  • Jaye ;-)

    Very sad. I hope they can come to some sort of agreement. Life is too short for things like this. :-(

    Oh boy!

  • JINNY

    WOW, he needs to MAN UP!

  • JuJu31

    Sh!t is Crazy she’s caught on tape cheating, with the dude that just chopped her down taunting Nas on the tape and you ignorant chicks think he should pay her a dime in support?!? if the child is his taking care of it is a given, but only “IF” it’s his!! If she was caught on tape, trust me it isn’t the first or only time it happened.

  • mostarstyle

    tz tz tz

  • K-mia

    I love Nas, but I think he cheated. What woman would divorce her husband while she’s pregnant? Anyway, I dont think she derserves spousal support for two years, thats crazy! Im sure he’ll have no problem paying child support, if he was that type Carmen would have said so.

  • Ms.Brilly

    Unfortunately, Nas might get got on this one. Since she filed for divorce in California, all household assets and earnings since they got married will be divided between them. Kelis may make money overseas, but Nas’ last two albums made good money too… so he might be coming out with the short end of the stick on that one.

    However, she probably won’t get spousal support. And even if she does, it will probably only be for two years or less (since they weren’t married that long).

    In my opinion, she shouldn’t get any spousal support since she has her own money. If she’s granted custody, she’ll get child support and that should be good enough.

  • a darius somewhere

    stay acting like a lady in the street and in the sheet and black clouds wont follow ur dum azz…and now want some doe caue nas dont wanna wife ur fluzzy azz up anymore, ew wee!

  • hey TG

    HEY TG……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….STFU!!!!

  • 2dimplzs

    Apparently Nas knows about her money situation. She’s probably been saving her stash and just spending his – which is smart!!! I bet he got a hold to her bank records and found out she got a nice chunk put away. If she don’t then SHE MESSED UP!!! I think at this point Nas don’t give two squats about her anymore and just wants to make sure the child is taken care of. In any case it’s a messed up situation. If they don’t get this mess straightened up the child will be the one to suffer and left in the cross fire.

  • Lady J

    It’s a thin line between love & hate (singing and waving my hand from side to side)…..

  • Epiphany

    I ain’t mad at him…she filed for divorce. She’s Bossy, ain’t she??? Pay your own bills.

  • Ms. Littlejohn

    I mean, where does the love go?!

  • Kimmie in Cleveland

    She may have filed in Cali, but the filing needs to be done, wherever the marital home is located.

    If the marital home is in NY, he may be able to fight the Cali filing.

    It seems like a very obvious legal strategy to get the most dough out of Nas, by filing in Cali.

    Rumors have been floating of both parties being unfaithful and they seemed to have an unconventional marriage to begin with, so only those two know what is really going on with that.

    But I must say that for a short lived marriage, spousal support should be minimal. Child support should be a must.

    Other than that, chalk it to two people who should never have gotten married in the first place

  • nyp

    it doesn’t matter where they married it’s all about their place of residence which, to my knowledge, is atlanta georgia. neither nas nor kelis reside in california so she is not automatically entitled to half of what he has earned. she’ll get a settlement of some sort.

    if you read carefully, nas wants to deny spousal support, ie financially supporting kelis. kelis makes her money over in europe. she’s well liked there and has probably made a decent sum there. it’s lame when women have children and decide they don’t want to work
