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.

46. Try getting a job. that works for most people trying to pay their bills.
Oh I forgot.. no talent. Find another rapper and have another kid. That ought to last you for awhile.

47. She doesnt even know what broke is. She is just looking for more money.

48. First of all: being married to someone does not mean they owe you anything when the relationship falls apart. If Kelis didn't save the money she made from her first album, or that Milkshake nonsense, then that is her problem to handle. Nas should take care of his child- that I agree with. However, keeping Kelis in the lifestyle she's accustomed to is ridiculous. Kelis demanding this type of support proves that she never married him for love, but rather his bank account. Gold Digger to the core!

49. As a woman I get very embarassed by women like this. Didnt she once have her own career? If you got used to a certain lifestyle then you can get used to the life you used to have. I would never ask my man to pay for anything or depend on him. No wonder people think skanks like this have no self-respect. How about depending on yourself??

53. I dont see the word "seed" to describe a child as a derogrative term from any race. I think your misundertsanding the term seed. Seed as in "water your seeds" take care of your children so that they can grow properly. Its a five perceter term, if a white person used it I'd think they had above intellegence of african american culture. Five percenters hold children in the highest regurad... Dummy, Better than calling your child a kid - a young goat.. What a doofus why make everything about race just to be completely freaking wrong,,,,

54. Really? Last time I checked, when someone loses their job they aren't entitled to their former way of life. And why isn't she half responsible for the expenses of their child? You lost your job as a rich guy's wife so it's time for you to go get a real job!

55. Ugh! Kelis is so annoying. She contradicts herself a lot! I hope she only gets $ needed FOR THE BABY. She doesn't deserve anything. She should get a job to maintain the lifestyle she is accustomed to.... PATHETIC.

58. She is like the queen of gold diggers. Nas shouldn't of ever married her gold digging ass. She trying to profit off of his talent and use his money to maintain her lavish lifestyle. His only obligation is his child which he already said he'd take care of not her. She can go get a job

59. when you sell jewelry you get pennies on the dollar for what you paid for it. So selling her jewelry is not an option. There is no resale value for jewelry.
