NAS, HURRY UP AND COME BACK TO THE RAP GAME!!!

I’ve lost respect for her

He should be paying child support, just like any other man with a child who doesn’t live with him. Why all the hating on Kelis? Cause she’s being a strong woman not letting a man get away with not taking care of his child?

And why would they interact? They are not married, they are not lovers, they are not friends. Would you have preferred she confront him like a hoodrat, or handle it like a real woman and take it to the courts.

Some of you act like Kelis is doing Nas wrong. You’re stupid. Do you know how family court works? There is a certain percentage of income that is deducted for child support. The court DOES NOT take the majority of anyone’s money but a percentage. He’s a wealthy man, she’s a wealthy woman, he child support payment should be a wealthy amount.

And to finish it off, it’s not your money so why are you worried about it. Do you want validation you shouldn’t have to pay your own child support. D@mn the money goes to your child’s primary caretaker, are you do low you don’t think that’s appropiate?

Why would she be seen with or near him?? They are not on good terms and rather than act a fool in public they chose to avoid each other. Sounds like the responsible and mature option to me.
And as far as not wanting to compete with him…That was wise on her part because she can’t! She is nowhere near as respected as an artists as Nas so why would she even go there?

@ Angela

Did u c how much she’s asking for in child support??? das straight bull. I would give her da Chad ochocinco “CHILD PLEASE!!!”

I hope Mashonda take a page from Kelis book and hit him where it hurts …in the pocket

what rap game. Rap what a laugh, try creating a different movement b/c rap is a rap.

@Chino

Once again, did you read THE COURT DECIDES ON THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT. It is based on a mathematical system and is in accordance with income of said person. If she’s getting the amount she asked for obviously the court thought he could more than afford it.

If you and Kelis had a child, divorced and you were the primary child giver, you would feel differently. Most of the men on this site are sexist. They want equality, just not for the black woman.

lets go half on a baby

@joejoe

Yes, she may have been with those men, who knows because I’m not her confidante but I do also realize those men where also all sleeping around. Pharrel isn’t a virgin, P.diddy and slept with many a woman, some during the same time period, Andre 2000 isn’t an angel, and even if she did sleep with ODB, NAS knew this before he married her and obviously considered it irrelevant. BECAUSE IT IS.

Once again another sexist ignorant black man spouting hate on a black woman. Calling her a names for the same actions as men.

BEYAKI IS A B I T C H

LOVE NAS.

WITH LOVE,

THE ONE

She is asking for ridiculous amount of money especially since Nas is not in the music industry any more. And she is not asking that money for child support and also support for herself.

ho sit down

@ Angela

Damn u jus made my life flash before my eyes when u said “if I and kelis had a child” lol. but yea I read dat and hear wat u saying. but wat I have seen and heard so far from women who r getting child support is, oh im bout 2 get dis man for everything he’s got. now dis is not all women but a majority from wat I have seen. I dont understand y a man have 2 b punished by da courts or da woman herself bc they dont want 2 b wit da woman.

but i duno bout da guys on dis site but im far from sexist. It took da man and woman 2 have da baby. y should da man b punished when da marriage does not work or wen child support issues comes up? I may neva understand da American system mayb bc im not American

*There is a certain percentage of income that is deducted for child support. The court DOES NOT take the majority of anyone’s money but a percentage*

You’re crazy. Anyone who has full custody of the kids gets the most money. The partner that doesn’t have the kid/s (often the father) has to pay majority of their income. Hint: why you hear people complain that they can’t afford to pay. You’re deluded if you think the court system is fair, far from it. Nas has many times tried to get joint custody but Kelis is too greedy she has refused (only because she would get paid less money). Obviously like most courts in this country, they took the mother side. You hardly ever hear the court giving father joint custody or FULL custody. And to top is off, she get spouse support from Nas. So shut the hell up. Kelis is greedy witch.

Randomness: Nas is supposed to be out here in Hawaii doing a show. I’m super hype since i’ve never seen him in concert before.

Kelis is going to be a bad role model for her child. She seems selfish and I know for a fact that that child would rather have Nas present in his life than have Kelis waste “child support” money on her goofy a s s

HE SHOULD TAKE HIS CHILD.
AND SHE SHOULD ALLOW HIM VISITATION TO HIS SON THEY BOTH GOTTA PLAY FAIR ITS ONLY RIGHT FOR THE KID.

50+k is a ridiculous sum for only 1 child.

@UrHeinessDaQueen

It’s actually $10,000 for child support and $40,000 for alimony – per month…

All Nas has to do is file for joint custody. Then he wouldnt have to pay all that money. Obviously he would rather fork up all that cash instead of taking care of his son 6 months out of the year, so leave them both alone….

@slide:thanks

@Me

________________________________________

Co-sign! I could not have said it better myself. She conducted herself like a grown woman. Just because they are having a disagreement does NOT mean it needs to devolve into ridiculous public behavior like folks on one of these “hood” reality shows. Keep it civil and handle it through the courts.

;; Kelis has no money of her own. She never had a successful career & depended on Nas while they were married and obviously she still is. But when she took him to court she gave the judge a sob story about how she supported him throughout his career and put hers on the back burner. Nas supported her career.. she was just to lazy to do anything. She got so use to having income coming in without working for it. & Nas’ career was well established before she stepped in. She does not deserve that much money. I believe the judge awarded her that much because of how Nas handled the situation when they separated. He didn’t pay out anything and refused to, not a good look in the judges eye. But Nas hasn’t been paying her lately.. maybe he has new lawyers and financial advisers and has something up his sleeve. I hope so because this chick is just plain annoying. You go and claim to be broke to the judge and months later after you drop the baby.. you’re rocking expensive furs and flaunting HIS money to the world. Be the ‘Bossy’ chick you claim you are.. start making your own money Kelis. [ & Nas has 2 albums dropping soon.. one with Damien Marley and one of his own).

SHE IS GETTING TOO MUCH IN ALIMONY. THIS B*TCH SHOULDN’T BE TRUSTED! ALL THAT “BOSSY” SHYT, THE MOMENT SHE GOT PREGNANT SHE WAS OUT. SHE WAS TRYING TO TAG HIS POCKETS FROM THE GET GO!!

LAMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sis, that’s one reason why Men be soo hesistant to get married… I think we all know a few people that were married in their early 20′s or a few years ago and are now divorced

And for those of us that haven’t been married and don’t have kids to have to hear the baby momma horror stories, how much they have to pay in alimoney and/or child support… SMMFH

They don’t make Good women like you no more…

There’s a shortage of Good Black Women, they need to do a 20/20 or Dateline Special on that… LOL

@ Slide

Thank you:D How are you doing today?

Actually, yes he does have to pay for his “mistake”.

THE MOMENT SHE GOT PREGNANT SHE WAS OUT.

@I’m Just Me

Sis, I’m doing just fine… Thanks for asking

I feel the same way as you, she knew their relationship was headed to divorce and she made it her business to get knocked up by him, to keep a steady check coming… SMH

Now she’ll get child support for 18 years

When she gets her first check we gonna see MORE furs and some more sh*t!!! This summer, I bet we’re going to see Kelis in some “Lady Gaga” type outfits… SMMFH Pharrell’s ex-girlfriend is a little out there…

NON STORY! NEXT!

@ Slide,

You know I can sometimes understand why men act the way they do. I don’t always agree but I understand. Over the course of time women have definitely been grimy with the this is your seed situation, knowing full well they were f*cking around raw. You know i am married but just because I am me, i told hubby we will get a paternity test when I get pregnant. I have nothing to hide, so i will do it. A lot of my friends are like he should trust you and blah, blah. I am like I offered, so I don’t feel it is a lack of trust on his part. But I want him comfortable and as i said I have nothing to hide, so I don’t care. if i know that this man can comfortably bond with this child, to me that benefits the child the most. Forget all the stupid opinions and commentary.

I know men can be grimy. I personally have been done dirty. And a lot of men are shiftless, lazy and not worth much. But i have a real problem when people use children as pawns in their sick games. I don’t think Nas should pay Alimony. She was “making her own money” from the gate. She did not help him achieve his success or status so why does she get to benefit from the hard work he is putting in. Of course he should pay child support. But to me, when women act like all they “care” about is the money it makes me question their true intentions in the first place. And Kelis, I just question her hardbody.

you’ll meet some rich guy**

The Black woman’s attitude, “F uck these kids and these n iggas we black women got to get our paper from the system!”

He should pay child support (how much is debatable) but as I understand it his is paying NOTHING…NOT A DIME…AND SHE IS PISSED..as most of the women on this site would be! Now why would she want to be around him if she feels like he is doing her and his child wrong!

I’m so glad I don’t have any kids and don’t have to go through any of this drama. *knocks on wood*

What’s your point? They both work in the same industry. They are bound to cross paths due to work. That DOES NOT mean they have to interact. In fact, it’s better that they DO NOT interact personally: both are represented by lawyers and I’m sure they’ve been advised to limit their contact/conduct all communication through counsel and the courts.

Ya’ll are never happy. If people are acting up and showing their azzes, you write about it. If people are acting wisely and professionally, you write about it. What’s your problem?

Why should she approach him? So that you can write a blog about how she was trying to track down Nas at the Festival or how they got into a big public argument? I think she did the right thing, she’s letting her lawyers handle it. She didn’t come there for him she came to make some $. Because I’m sure if she did confront him you would have something to write about, she speaks her mind and she’s not the type of chick to back down from anyone. So, I seriously doubt that she was “avoiding” him.

“Ho sit down” LOL

i don’t respect kelis. she decided to file for divorce in california because california courts are more generous than georgia or new york courts, the 2 cities the couple resided in the majority of the time. nas was stupid not to contest that move and now he’s going to pay. if he was smart, which he isn’t, he should have filed in georgia and their finances would have been settled their. he kind played himself. nonetheless, i can’t really cosign on spousal support but then again i’m sitting on a professional degree and kelis has a high school education. i guess i’d ask for spousal support as well. nas is probably not paying because he’s going to contest the settlement. he’ll pay eventually.

Angela is telling the truth, but it’s true that the ignorant won’t hear it.

IF I DID’NT LIKE MY EX I WOULD OF AVOID THEM TOO BUT BOTH GOTTA START BEING FAIR TO THEIR SON.

I dont understand why this broad Kelis is even getting all this alimony?? I read an article on Nas a few years back and he mentioned how he didnt even know who Kelis was when her met her back in 2002…which meant her career was already dead until he got with her and she made Milkshake and then Bossy…thats it. She is hella lame and needs to stop with all the fur coats she been buying with Nas’s money. She has always been broke and had that baby to secure a check for 18 yrs.

She probably don’t want no dealings with him other then her ends, she didn’t have to conversate with him if she didn’t want to… if this is even true.

@ angela –> my guess is you are either an attorney or a child support worker because you understand!!! the purpose of child support and how the figures are deteremined.

it is correct that when you have higher incomes you will have a higher child support order. and trust that the money Nas has been ordered to pay (which is the minimum! the court has said he should do for his child–MINIMUM)is not leaving him doing without.

as far as spousal support, if you don’t have big bank you just wouldn’t understand. (i don’t have big pockets, i just work for the courts).

wow wasn’t too long ago

they were so madly in love

what the he*ll happened to em

DUH! Thats how its supposed to be. Clearly Kelis has the sense enough to know that there are certain things you keep private. Did you want her to run up on Nas with her cousins and best friends and start an arguing match? Thats not appropriate

and on another note – maybe its time for the black man to step up and start taking care of his kids on his own outside of the law and then he won’t have to whine like a little child when the law steps in and makes him do so!

Umm to me that seems like a sign of respect. She waited for him to finish to start her show??? How is that avoiding him? Im lost and why would she be an ignorant Black woman and confront her baby daddy at a Festival?? Wow

@Angela. you musts be Kelis!! lol

THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH HER WANTING TO AVIOD HER EX HUSBAND. NOTHING AT ALL…..KEEP THE PEACE….SHE’S ENTITLED TO CHILD SUPPORT…..HOWEVER, I CAN NOT SEE NAS NOT TAKING CARE OF HIS SON.

If he was my ex-husband…I would let him still hit it.

And for the record, Kelis will continue to play victim because Nas NEVER puts his business out there. Look back in his career/life and you can tell he’s a very private person. Kelis knows this and she’ll use that to play the role of the victim without saying too much. Nas didn’t even put Carmen on blast and everyone knows she’s a big time ho. Nas should’ve stayed away. It’s quite obvious she’s not right in the head (her song Caught Out There: I hate you so much right now).

Its funny to me how folks continue to bring up the fact that Kelis was not with Nas from the beginning of his career, or contributed to his success, etc.. While that may be true, he still decided to marry her, which is a promise (before God – and the law) to love, respect and provide for her as long as they live. Well it seems that Mr. Jones did not fulfill his end of the contract (I know I know, we don’t know for a fact that he cheated, they were just rumors) But apparently the courts believed that he was at fault. So he is required to pay. Can’t understand why everyone is so angry and hateful towards Kelis. The courts are the ones who made the ultimate decision, regardless of what she asked for. I could go into my boss’ office right now and demand a six-figure increase. Doesn’t mean I am going to get it. Unless he felt that I deserved it. Just like Kelis deserves her alimony from Nas.

NAS DOES NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY KELIS IS ASKING FOR. I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU HEARD

That reason everyone is Anti-Kelis is because she is doing too much while Nas is laid back and chill. She uses every opportunity to get some publicity and everyone can feel her fakeness . She got pregant when she knew he was leaving her and the problem is not the child support @10k he would gladly pay that. The problem is the alimony which is about 40k she cheated, left and put him on blast so she should take care of herself. If she believed in herself and her career she would just ask for child support drop the alimony claim and keep it moving. Instead she wants to play on people’s intelligence and make them think she is a victim, however no ones buying it. She still wants him and is pissed because that baby wasn’t enough. If he treated her so bad she would just be done Anna May left Ike with one thing her name. The world know Tina but no one remembers Ike. He is cool and soon enough the world will remember Nas but trust no one will even remember Kelis.

Does Nas even have visitation with his first born???

Lets make one things very clear… that mathmatical equation the court uses is based off a system that is 43 years old, GET UP TO DATE, there a females making it happen with little or no help. PREDATORY females who manipulates the system only hurt the MEN who want to be there for their kids… It’s sad when the NEEDS of the child which is to have both parents there and everything split fairly is second to the WANTS of the mother/father.

She’s as wack as that “I Hate You So Much” song she made. One of the worst songs I ever heard. After hearing that song I wouldn’t listen to anything else she made.

What does she’s hard up on child support checks mean? The child is owed the money and he needs to pay up.

People take Nas side because we know him as a hip hop legend, everything else is secondary. Some people are posting stuff on this page like they know Nas and Kelis personally. Stop spouting on rumours. Nas is top 5 dead or alive! That aint a rumour!

Nas is the G.O.A.T, all u haters go play on the freeway on your knees, and Kelis go get your hair/nails done and get your ish together!

Funny cartoon of Kelis and what she does with here money: http://www.parodybox.com/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=detail&id=120&Itemid=14

The idea that the courts are “biased” seems true; however not in the way misrepresented here. The courts tend to favor father not mother. A man can go in and say I’m sorry I’m not working because I have a record…I’m not working because I…and never have to pay a dime.

The standard and accepted mode seems to be that men should run from not towards responsibility. Many men do not want to support themselves, let alone their children. A father who has the ability should have no problem in paying support for their child. Proud in the idea that they are doing their part if not more in providing for their child.

It is sad that society seems to think that a woman should be the only one responsible for a child when a man and woman separate, even if they were once husband and wife.
