Kelis wins $51,000 in support from Nas

by frugalista on December 11, 2009

It looks like Kelis Rogers isn’t “Caught Out There” in terms of her pending divorce.  The “Bossy” singer won $51,101 per month support from her soon-to-be-ex husband and my favorite rapper Nas. The support is for Kelis and their infant son, Knight.

According to the AP article,  Kelis recently signed a $175,000 music contract.  Both Kelis and Nas are having some tax concerns; she hasn’t filed a return in years and he owes millions to the IRS, according to the article.

I really hate that this couple couldn’t work it out.

Should Kelis get $51,101 for support?  Will Nas be in financial harm? Should he start releasing more records? What do you think about alimony? Is marriage a way to financial stability?

Why haven’t they filed income tax returns. That’s the way more disturbing part. Don’t they have accountants? So strange… I wonder if the money issues had anything to do with their divorce..

$51,101/per month… wow! She’s getting more than people man in one year per month. Is there child support in there also? Amazing! I guess that’s what 50 cent meant by “have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire.”

Don’t we already know the answer to this? $50,000 per month is a ridiculously inflated amount of money to provide for one child. Whenever this type of payout happens it just makes the woman look like a money hungry whore, happily accepting this payoff to maintain some “lifestyle” that she can’t maintain on her own. I mean, wasn’t Kelis the one who got caught up in a sex tape, thus cheating on NaS? Either NaS has some terrible lawyers (a possibility) or Kelis has some great ones (less of a possibility). I hope NaS treats Kelis on wax like Eminem treats Kim.

With that contract, he might sue HER for support! 50k a month – give me a break!
