Kelis just hit the jackpot in court today -- a judge awarded her a ton of money in her bitter divorce battle with estranged hubby Nas.

A judge decided Nas has to pay Kelis $55,000 a month in combined spousal and child support plus the mortgage on their L.A. residence.

Nas also has to pay Kelis -- who gave birth last night to the couple's only child -- for the baby nurse, prenatal expenses and medical insurance.

The rapper also has to pay $35,000 to his worst nightmare -- Kelis' lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser

ridiculous!

lol like they say-It's cheaper to keep her.
Send her roses.

WOW~~$55,000 just for child support??

Nas should get custody of the kid so Kelis can pay him the money.Kelis is gonna use half of that money on herself. What kid needs $55,000 every month??

Source Please

what a crap

Una don come how much is Nas worth that he will be told to pay 55grand USD a month thats 630grand a year COME ON!!! check your facts please you think say 55k dollars na 555k naira for a judge to order one to pay child support a lot of factors come into pay chief among which is how much the paying party is worth,and how impoverished or disadvantaged his soon to be estranged partner is Kelis is an artiste with a couple of successful albums so why should she get 55k a month? Nas is better off leaving the country 55k ko 55k ni.

Earlier reports of Nas having to pay over $55,000 in support have been proven false, as AllHipHop.com has confirmed the Queens emcee has been ordered to pay $39, 498.00 per month.



The verdict was put in place until a September 8 hearing, when a judge will again review the monetary stipulations.



Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Louis Meisinger also ruled that Nas will have to pay Kelis’ $45,000 lawyer and forensic accountant fees.



Nas’ lawyer Mark Kaplan requested that Kelis be paid a $20,000 payment until the September hearing, but Judge Meisinger argued that the singer was entitled to maintain her marriage lifestyle, and that the monetary judgment was commensurate with the two parties’ income filings.



In addition, Kelis will have 30 days to decide whether to return to the couple’s Los Angeles property, which Nas is paying for.



Kelis’ high-powered divorce attorney Laura Wasser defended the ruling, stating that Kelis’ income has significantly dropped this year.



She also confirmed that her client is searching for a new label home.



Originally, Kelis reportedly was seeking $80,000 a month in total spousal and child support.



According to court records, Nas' monthly contributions will be $30,471 to Kelis in temporary spousal support, and $9,027 to his newborn son Knight.



Nas was last seen on Tuesday night celebrating the birth of the couple’s son at an all-star Queensbridge concert.



At press time, neither Nas or Kelis could be reached for comment.

there something wrong with the judge. surely she is one of those feminist and anti-hiphop types. and this is looks more life support rather than child support.plsssssssss but kelis is a greedyand devilish bitch- she started the whole thing. SOMEBODY PLS SHOOT HER!

Even if he gets custody of the kids, she won't be paying him anything. It's usually the spouse who earns the higher income who pays. Either way, he'll still have to pay her alimony dues.

@topic, that amount is outrageous. But na them sabi.

Source pls.

I feel for Nas.

He's not been a success with the ladies.
Dude isn't really wealthy. Now he has to shell out at least $55000 every month?

He said it himself 'pussie killz'. His songs seem to be haunting him. Still i think d verdict wasn't fair as kelis can make her own money.

too much money

If Nas could not afford it then the judge will not award it. They look at the numbers and figures before they decide the amount. It is not too much for Nas to pay. The child will likely have a live in Nanny as it should because his father is Nas. They will like not buy an Eddie Bauer Stroller but a more expensive one. That is the lifestyle they lived. It might seem insane to you but that is their reality.

@bgees, spot on
Thats why rich black rappers hardly get married. They prefer to have baby mammas.
Once you marry, they've got you
Thieving bitches!

if he can afford it he should pay.

Tiger Woods presented his wife with a yacht- I dont hear anyone complaining.

Thanks Tpia. People just do not get it. I live in an okay neighbourhood. The average home here is about $250,000.00. Daycare is about $15000.00 a year for us for two kids. Our property taxes are crazy but not that crazy. People like this do not get 55,000.00 a month. These people live different lives than most of us. They probably live in a million dollar home with maids. They will have a live in Nanny and if I pay about $7500 per year for someone to watch my child for about 9 hours a day imagine what she has to pay. The court is going to consider the mortgage on the house. kellis might not want to move and she should not have to. She might like the neighbourhood that she lives in and thinks it is a great place to raise a child. The court looks at all of this and makes decisions based on that. People make it seem like the court just looks at the face of the person and goes $55,000.00 a month. Kellis showed the court that Nas could afford it and they made him pay it. Nas is not always going to pay this much. I am sure he will be taking her to court before the baby clocks 2.

I couldnt agree more with this video. . . dont care how much nas earns - Dats a lot of money to pay for child support

its too much considering they were married for five minutes and she has her own means of making money. however, i hope there are mechanisms for equal custody and therefore limited/zero child support. if he's gonna be looking after his child too, there's no need to pay her to take her part.

People just like to talk to be talking. How can they give Nas joint custody. He cannot even promise to see the child every weekend right now because he is on tour. The question you should be asking is "Is Kellis capable of making 2,000,000.00 a year?" The answer is yes. If she was not raising the child that they both created she could be doing just that.

is the child going to be wearing gucci diapers? the bitch kelis is going to spend majority of the her cash on herself.


nas can afford it ,but its going to run him down, and he might just go bankrupt. and if this happens, i hope someone destroys that bitch.

how can she be so wicked? she was initially asking for 80k a month. she is nothing but ''hidden evil'' bitch.

the best thing for nas is for her to remarry, but who will marry her as she is recycled goods .
