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.

19. I agree with Nas - I think Kelis is just trying to milk this thing for all it's worth.

21. $5000 a month for a newborn is reasonable. If he spends 10,000 on himself then half for the baby is reasonable. Why does TMZ keep reporting that Nas left Kelis. Didn't she leave him and file the divorce papers?

22. If you don't know who someone is when he's sold 8 or 9 Platinum Albums and had a career that's spanned 15-16 years, it is not TMZ's fault.

24. He make $150000 a month and want to give her a little over 3%.
He spends $70000 on clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.
His guy is a total POS and cheap, I bet he doesn't even tip 10%.

25. #3 & #5. You know that song that goes "My milshake brings all the boys to the yard" Well, Kelis is the one the sings it and her husband is a rapper. But yeah, lt's a nasty divorce. She better do more than shake her milkshake. She might need to sell some to get some extra funds.

28. #7 You're an idiot. When we write "who are these people?", we aren't actually asking a question. We are implying that these people are worthless. Go back to the corner of your room and rock back and forth in the fetal position, you cretin.

29. I'm guessing that neither one has thought to set up a college fund. Probably don't think any offspring of theirs would have the intelligence to go to college. Oh, I forgot ... Obama's going to pay for everyone to go to college.
