Celebrity Justice
Kelis Is Cash Poor

Kelis has just filed her financials with the court, making her case to get support and baby expenses from estranged hubby Nas.

Kelis says from 11/08 to 4/09, her average monthly income was $21,616. Hardly poor, but way less than what she and Nas were pulling in while she was with him.

Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has some pretty hefty expenses -- $80,831 a month ... way more than she says she makes.

Kelis says she hasn't toured in a year and most of her income comes from her concerts.

Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny costs $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations -- not too shabby. And she says it cost $175 to have the "baby rug dry cleaned."

And there's this ... Kelis says she wants to buy "storage to bank the baby's blood when he is born. The banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in the baby's umbilical cord." It's used to treat 70 life-threatening diseases. It all costs $$$.

76. Honestly, is she stupid? Sell the house, raise your own child or let Nas do it (as you're apparently unwilling to foot your part of the bill), stop entertaining and traveling so much and voila, not only do you have enough, you have extra! You divorced, he's not your meal ticket anymore. He should be paying for the child, not for you to play dress up and vacation every 2 weeks.

77. For those defending her, remember she gets half his income in CA. Her greedy ass wants more on top of that. Sell the house, raise your own kids! If you can't, let Nas raise them, he's paying for them anyway.

78. W.....OW!!! Apparently her so-called "milkshake" may have brought all the boyz to the yard.. Unfortunately, for Kelis the most important boy (Nas) for what ever reason, her milkshake failed to keep. You would think, a person like this woman in this situation would have had a back up plan to secure herself, other than banking on marital bliss, a one hit wonder and a baby to lock her in long term. DUH!

80. This is why I tell my son everyday not to get married. If its real love the woman won't mind. Get your "female life partner a nice ring. Treat her like a queen. But NEVER get married. EVER.

81. I just think the monthly expense requests are way too extreme. How can someone pay 55, 000 a month + ??
You are doomed if you are that excessive. It's a sin.
She too should be ashamed of herself asking for that kind of money, even if he is a total punk a**.
