Kelis: Nas Left Me High and Dry

Kelis and NasKelis claims estranged hubby Nas has left her high and dry ... not offering her a penny in the wake of her impending birth ... and she says she's broke -- "I have run out of money."

Kelis filed legal papers claiming Nas isn't paying her support, pre-natal expenses -- nothing, even though she claims he is filthy rich.

Kelis is asking the judge to order Nas to pay spousal support, child support, all pregnancy-related expenses, and one-half of all medical expenses after the child is born. She also wants $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child's birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.

Kelis says, "My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid." The couple was married in 2003. The baby is due this month.

Kelis says she's entitled to maintain the lifestyle to which she became accustomed during their marriage -- they have five homes, fly first class, go to fancy restaurants, and on and on. Most interesting -- "There were many expensive pieces [of jewelry] such as a princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet that was recently appraised for $190,000. My engagement ring is an approximately nine-carat cushion-cut diamond solitaire. I have numerous watches...such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller and Chopard."

Nas and KelisHer lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, says in a separate declaration she's asked Nas to ante up some $$$ for Kelis and the unborn baby but he hasn't responded.

20. Take that jewelry to a PAWN SHOP then take your ass out and get a JOB! Ok, so Nas should be helping to pay for the baby coming into the world, help with medical and all that. Help her be prepared...but the key words are HELP HER...he shouldn't have to do it ALL. What is she trying to do for her child? If you dont' have any money why do you need a "baby nurse" you're the child's mother...take care of the baby yourself. Sell your expensive jewelry, put yourself on a budget and get a real job so you can care for your child weather your baby daddy pays or not. He will pay when the court orders him too....but instead of thinking of your lifestyle think of your childs! And stop putting your business in the streets before you are seen as unstable and Nas gets custody and then your ass will be paying child support to him!!!!! GET A JOB!

24. I don't think she has anything to worry about. Oh, she's about to be set for life! And it's nothing but Karma for Nas. He probably cheated on that first wife of his more times than he can remembers. But now he's about to pay. Karma, it always finds you!

30. I'm just shaking my head.
Yes, he should help pay for the expenses relating to the birth, but this chick needs to get off her ASS AND GET A JOB! She needs to be partially financially responsible for this child. Baby nurse??? Are you freaking kidding me???? Why do these women have such a sense of entitlement??? What the hell have you done to deserve such treatment, except for marry some dude who may, or may not, be famous?

Losers...this kid is doomed from the get-go.
