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.

31. Is she serious? I never thought Kelis was the gold digging type but apparently I was wrong! She is playing the "lifestyle" card HARD.,..umm Kelis, last time I checked you were a recording artist, so why don't you go back to doing that to support yourself and Nas will be responsible for his child. I hate when women talk about how they deserve this and that b/c they are "accustomed" to it- you mean, you're acting like an entitled snob?? Nas made his money before he even met her, I don't see at all why he needs to support her, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE FILED FOR DIVORCE. If I were Nas I would support my child and keep it moving!

33. Not to mention that 99% of the mothers in the world have a "baby nurse", let alone 20 grand to spend on strollers and overexpensive BS that the kid is going to vomit on and piss in anyway.

34. I DONT SEE NAS LEAVING HIS BABY WITHOUT ANYTHING. MAYBE HE WOULD LEAVE THE RELATIONSHIP BUT NOT HIS SEED. JUST CAUSE U HAVE A BABY BY SOMEONE DOESNT MEAN THEY HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, ONLY THE BABY!!!!! IF SHE IS BROKE THATS TOO BAD SHE SHOULD HAVE HANDLED HER MONEY BETTER.

42. you can tell the black americans on here what with the "seed" comments.. when white people talk about them that way they get all poliitcally correct and start complaining... everyone else on the planet says progeny or children.. black americans say "seed" and want to be respected for doing so.. rap and hip hop is crap and peddles this type of low class rubbish no wonder its painted itself into a corner and has nothing to offer now..

44. Nas - you need to do the right thing. You are going to be a parent and that means patience, sacrifice and other life changes one may not want to go through, especially when you are in the process of Divorce. Be a man and take care of your responsibilities?

45. She spent all of her money, now she wants to spend his money. I'm certain he'll take care of the child, but she'll take him to court anyway to get the maximum amount she can get monthly. I never thought Kelis was a gold-digger.
