Nas better start telling folks “You Owe Me.” Because he has to find a way to pay his now ordered $40,454 in spousal support and $10,647 to Kelis. WOMP. He admitted that they tried to work things out and reconcile, but that just didn’t work. That explains why we saw them out and about together a few months ago. Meanwhile, the judge even said he needed to pony up the $50K+ for December. As for how the courts came to this decision, BBC News reports:
Kelis, whose full name is Kelis Rogers, recently signed a record deal worth $175,000 (£107,405), but her lawyers argued that she has only taken $50,000 (£30,683) of the fee.
They also downplayed her currency as a recording artist, telling the court that her only recent song was premiered on Twitter.
Nas said he did not expect to release an album until next year – which may result in additional income – two years after his last record.
The court heard that the 36-year-old owes his manager $700,000 (£430,000) and has a tax bill amounting to millions.
Kelis, meanwhile, has not filed a tax return for years, making her income difficult to determine.
Nas also wants shared custody of Baby Knight–which could possible lower his payments.
News on Weezy’s jail sentence when you read the rest…
Lil Wayne’s rap protege Nicki Minaj says Weezy is heading to the slammer in February. And he’ll be just fine when he does so:
“He’s gonna have so many people there. I’m sure it will go by like days to him. It will probably be a weird experience, but at the end of the day, he’s gonna come out stronger like he always does. Nothing ever phases him really, which I guess is the story of a champion.”
“I just know that he’s is going to be up there in February. I’ll [visit him] as often as I can I mean, he’s gonna be up in New York and I’m from New York, so, I would love to just come up there as often as I can,” she said.

Good luck Weezy!

Thu, December 10, 2009 8:52 AM
As soon as people realize marriage is a business they won’t be so quick to jump the broom.
Thu, December 10, 2009 8:55 AM
I am behind you Nas. Stay strong, get that joint custody.

Thu, December 10, 2009 9:05 AM
That quick jail sentence will be nothing for Weezy . . . it will be much needed rehab and rest but I’m sure he will miss his kids . . . That’s messed up that Nas has to pay that much money . . . Diddy pays that much for one of his kids . . . SMDH . . . I didn’t know that NAS was making paper like that . . .
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:06 AM
That amount is crazy..Nas is going to have to be like Wayne and be a feature on everybody’s song to keep up with those payments..or go on like the Roots used to and tour non-stop.
Shhhhhiiittt..thats sucks..

WOW $50K?? That sounds steep, but it guess it all has to do with his overall net worth, so he has to pay up or else. Jail=needed time out for Weezy. Good luck brah!
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:10 AM
baby must be pissed lil wayne is goin to jail… no lovin for him for a couple of months. I wonder who’s the next victim in cash money.
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:10 AM
Everyone from the Big Easy is a survivor. We spoil and take care of our own. I have knowing him since he was a kid he will survive. We are still standing after the man made Katrina incident. so what u think.
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:18 AM
Oh My Goodness…Good Morning Mr Glenn & NOLA!!
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:19 AM

Thu, December 10, 2009 9:23 AM
OK, I’m not crazy…Doesn’t Kelis look like Mario in the pic above???? Tell me I’m not crazy.
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:31 AM
You are not crazy I see it too :D
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:46 AM
What does Nikki mean when she says “He’s gonna have so many people there”?
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:53 AM
WELL PUT PEOPLE THINK MARRIAGE IS A WALK IN A PARK. I BET NAS REGRETS TREATING HIS WIFE THE WAY HE DID.LOVE NAS, BUT HE REALLY DID PUT HER OUT THERE, AND EMBARASSED HER WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT, THAT’S JUST DEAD WRONG. WHEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALL THAT CHILD SUPPORT HE TRIED TO COME CRAWLING BACK.SHE WAS LIKE HELL NO LOL! GO KELIS! SHE GOT HIS A**! REAL GOOD.
AS FOR WAYNE HE MIGHT DO SOME PRISON TIME BUT HE’S GOING TO STILL BE UNSTOPPABLE. GOOD LUCK WEEZY.
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:57 AM
I loved Nas and Kelis together and am sad they couldn’t reconcile. But I had to laugh when they said her latest single was released on Twitter. WTF?
Thu, December 10, 2009 10:00 AM
Wow a freakin yearly salary in one month, must be nice! It’s cheaper to keep her huh Nas?
Get off Wayne’s balls Nicki or you’ll be baby momma number 5 or is it 6 or 7?? lol
Thu, December 10, 2009 10:04 AM
how long does Wayne have to serve in NY??
Thu, December 10, 2009 10:54 AM
Work Kelis! I wonder how long she will get the spousal support….how long do people usually get it, does anyone know?
Thu, December 10, 2009 10:58 AM
WOW!! good luck nas i hope they redo that order for less $…smh
c ya lil wayne wouldn’t want 2 be ya…dummy
Thu, December 10, 2009 11:15 AM
it would depend on the ruling . .some people can get spousal support until they remarry or a set amount of years, just depends on what they agree on.
Thu, December 10, 2009 11:20 AM
Nas has to pay up! WOMP WOMP…..
Kudos to Kelis for not playing that cheaper to keep her role. She’s no Kim Porter, she’s about her business!
Thu, December 10, 2009 11:26 AM
I’d rather be pushing flowers than to be in the pen sharing showers- Weezy
Thu, December 10, 2009 11:37 AM
Nikki sit the heck down somewhere wit you bubble gum ass. where is foxy brown at? these chicks need a lesson.
Thu, December 10, 2009 11:43 AM
I feel sorry for Wayne’s young kids they dont even know him i would guess and now he’s going away they are the only victims in this issue.
Thu, December 10, 2009 11:56 AM
Them Young Money artists are just kissin Wayne’s butt becuz he put them on…..whatever you gotta do to ‘get in’ i guess…..yes, she does sound like a groupie….Nicki stfu and stfd somewhere girl, please!! Like you gonna have time to be runnin to the slammer to see dude all the time….girl bye!
Thu, December 10, 2009 12:02 PM
“Kelis, meanwhile, has not filed a tax return for years, making her income difficult to determine. ”
LMAO. I bet it is difficult to make out something that don’t exist.
Thu, December 10, 2009 12:06 PM
I wonder what Carmen Bryan has to say?! Will this cause Carmen to renegotiate her deal? LOL! While I agree that it seems a “little” excessive given the country’s current economic crisis, I guess it hasn’t affected the celebrities yet. With almost $612K a year, I suppose she really doesn’t need the motivation to go out and promote her “album”. Should Nas take care of his child…YES! Should he take care of her too?…I don’t know. However, she’s able bodied and can work. I understand that one becomes accustomed to a certain lifestyle, but be the independent woman we grew to love.
Thu, December 10, 2009 12:07 PM
this is the reason that blk ppl should not have children until they know themselves individually and as a couple have been together at least 5 yrs. 5 yrs is the usual time it takes 4 couples to break up esp. it there r children.
2 bad. sad . they both have issues. badly needed therapy of all kinds.
as for the troll named lil wayne. yippie! go away. stfd! stfu! damn. and that ho-pretend-rap-chick cant even carry a conversation… wtf. im amazed that ppl who cant speak wants speaking jobs ?!@#$?%?!!??
Thu, December 10, 2009 2:44 PM
its definitely cheaper to keep her!!!!!
Thu, December 10, 2009 9:03 PM
yeah she wants to be weezy’s ride or die….i guess she dont see how often he moves on to the next one
does he have to shave his dreads? if so head tatt coming soon lol
Fri, December 11, 2009 2:10 AM
Dang, and I kinda like NAS & KELIS a little more than Jay and B. But it had to end. They seemed so authentic. I guess those sideline chicks got to Nas :(
To Kelis: What did that Jr. Mafia song say? “Get Money!”
lol@Kay – yea probably. and I suspect Weezy’s tat will be a “star” also.
Fri, December 11, 2009 5:05 AM
Nas will be fine this is NO way a permanent situation! Kelis signed to Will I Am/Interscope for 175k lets you know what the industry thinks of her as an artist!!
Fri, December 11, 2009 7:40 AM
STFU Nicki….u from NY but u damn sure dont act like it….fake bitches always stress how real they are…fuck outta here…call me a hater say what u want!! cant undersatnd why ppl are so obsessed with her BUBBLE GUM!!
Fri, December 11, 2009 7:38 PM
First and far most I believe the Nicki should of let Wayne expose his own jail time. (still luv u Nicki you just got a big mouth). Nas Nas Nas Nas….. sorry you married a gold digger she prolly don’t even want the money she just wants to make him miserable, he not even getting no doe for real I think I read mid 100,000 and now he wants have of dat This should be a example of why men need to wait where they squirt at.
Sat, December 12, 2009 8:33 PM
At least Wayne will not be able to get anyone pregnant.
