‘Tis Cheaper to Keep Her
Seems to be some conflicting reports on what Nas will have to pay Kelis, as TMZ is reporting that he has to cough up a whopping $55,000/month but AP News is reporting $44,000 + over $30k in lawyer and hospital expenses. No matter which figure it is, that’s still a whole lotta money…way more than the $5k he wanted to pay initially! Cheaper to keep her, fellas…take note! Read the story after the break!
A judge has ordered Nas to pay Kelis nearly $44,000 in monthly support for the near future, a day after the “Milkshake” singer gave birth to the divorcing couple’s baby boy.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Louis Meisinger issued the order at a Thursday hearing. Neither Nas, whose full name is Nasir Jones, nor Kelis, whose full name is Kelis Rogers, attended Thursday’s hearing.
Rogers gave birth to the boy, named Knight, at a New York hospital Wednesday. The 29-year-old filed for divorce from the rapper in April. The couple was married in July 2003.
The two have been sparring over support payments for several months, with Rogers contending that Jones hasn’t paid many of the costs of her pregnancy and her expenses. His attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told the judge that the rapper has paid $30,000 in expenses and the former couple’s health insurance has been maintained.
A hearing on whether the payments should be altered will be heard on Sept. 8.
Kaplan proposed paying Rogers a one-time payment of $20,000 until the judge could settle on an appropriate spousal and child support amount at a later hearing. Continue…

If that is the mother of my seed, then I have no problems with it if I have the money. Nas will be fine.

Now that’s wassup. His raggedy ass shouldn’t have cheated. They were together 6 years and she has a baby. $44,000 sounds about right. I hope the jumpoff or whoever he cheated with is throwing the CAT right way.

Why are people surprised? Misa Hilton gets $50k a month by Diddy alone for Justin….and he has how many other kids? Judge wouldn’t decide that much if he didn’t think Nas had it. What Nas need all his money for then? People 4get to look at these hubbies who are earning so much by themselves..can’t hurt him that much.
Either way, I have a feeling they’ll be back together again or at least on friendly terms once they recognize they have a son to support. This whole thing got settled quick (gladly)…faster than Usher’s & Tyrese’s issue

Her bum ass better get back on stage and make her own money… WTF is her lifestyle? It was her lifestyle when they were married- they ain’t married anymore! That’s like saying Pharrell owes her a track cause he used to fuck her… so what!
I know those are two different things, but a marriage is the bond between two people, who’ll obviously be sharing the same shit. If it ends… that’s it! That’s a wild thing about divorce that I’ll never understand…
