Nas Ordered To Pay Over $51,000 A Month In Spousal Support
Posted by Media Outrage on December 10th, 2009
Yesterday a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge ordered Nas to pay Kelis more than $51,000 a month in spousal support.
Via AHH:
Yesterday (December 9), Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David S. Cunningham ordered Nas to pay $51,101 a month in spousal and child support to ex-wife Kelis.
Cunningham made his ruling following two days of testimony from Nas and Kelis.
Kelis verified that she inked a new recording contract with Interscope Records for $175,000. However, her attorney explained that the majority of that sum was paid out to her managers, leaving the singer with only $50,000.
When cross-examined, she told Nas attorney Mark Kaplan that her comeback career was a far cry from her former chart topping fame circa the 2003 single “Milkshake,” indicating that her latest song was quietly dropped on Twitter.
Her income could also not be determined, as documentation shows Kelis has not filed an income tax return in years.
In Nas’ testimony, the Queens legend confirmed that he would not release solo album in 2010, but did not disclose whether that included his Damian Marley collaboration LP Distant Relatives. His statements also revealed that he owed $700,000 to his manager, and $2.5 million in back taxes to the IRS.
Along with the spousal and child support decree, Nas is now relieved of having to pay the $13,000 a month mortgage for the ex-couple’s Los Angeles home, in which Kelis currently resides.
Before yesterday’s verdict, Nas was reportedly paying close to $40,000 a month in temporary support.
At press time, neither Nas nor Kelis have personally commented on the ruling.

Wow…that’s just ridiculous. Now I know why some people don’t get married. Marriage is more like a business these days, for some people at least.

I hate her for this bullshit that she’s doing. Go sell ya ass somewhere to somebody who wants it and leave Nasir alone. I think that all along she was just looking for a payday. That’s why she waited until she was pregnant to file for divorce. Skank hoe.

She’s a greedy bitch. A child, I don’t care who they are doesn’t need 51K a month. Kelis is using this on herself. What a greedy bitch, that’s why her career tanked.

Why the hell are ya’ll mad at Kelis? She can’t get what he doesn’t have. So don’t be made cause ya’ll broke bitches woulda did it for a dollar. .. He filed for divorce.. Not her. Think people he Gave the money away. If he wasn’t ‘Nas’ woulda care? Nope. If it was Jay-z( which I don’t wish their marriage any harm) having to pay Beyonce it would just be okay… well just close ur eyes and pretend. Cause he’s paying Kelis rather he likes it or not.
