Nas -- I Don't Make What Kelis Thinks

Posted Jul 13th 2009 1:43PM by TMZ Staff

Nas -- I Don't Make What Kelis ThinksNas has fired back in his bitter divorce case with Kelis claiming he's paid her more than she says and he makes less than she thinks.

For starters, Kelis claims Nas raked in $11 million for his album deal. Nas fired back in legal papers, "I did not receive even half that amount"... claiming it's more like $4 mil. Nas claims his income is declining, and he's only pulling in $147,165 a month.

As for what he spends ... $71,371.96 a month, which includes $10,000 a month in clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.

Kelis, who is about to give birth to their child, claims Nas hasn't paid a penny for child or spousal support since he left her. Nas, who says he wants to be "fully involved" in the parenting of their child, claims he's agreed to pay $350 for a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,598 for two cribs.

Nas thinks $5,000 a month is reasonable for child support since the kid will just be a newborn.

10. Wow. These people have a reality check coming. Check back in 5 years and see if either of them has an income of $50K even.

11. Who are these people and why do they make so much money? Our priorities are way off. Teachers and policemen/women can't make ends meet - but some guy named Nas needs 10k a month to get dressed and take a shower? Really?
