Nas told to pay Kelis forty grand a month
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 24 July 2009
According to AllHipHop.com, Nas has been ordered to pay his ex-wife $39,500 a month in child care and the like until another court hearing to discuss the financial settlement of the hip hop couple’s divorce in September. He’s also been told to pay his ex’s $45,000 legal bill in relation to their somewhat acrimonious divorce.
The ruling, made in the LA court this week, is something of a defeat for Nas, whose legal people had proposed a $20,000 a month payment until the September hearing. But the judge said Kelis, who gave birth to the couple’s first child this week, should be able to live the same sort of life as she had while married. And that life, it seems, costs forty grand a month.
That said, Kelis’ people are ultimately pushing for $80,000 a month, so the court’s ruling may not be good news as far as the new mum is concerned either. I mean, just forty grand a month – better stock up on economy line nappies.
