![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
It's tough being a rapper trying to eke out a living with an ex-wife, a kid and an out-of-control mortgage ... but Nas may have figured out a way to stay afloat.
TMZ obtained legal docs in which Nas concedes he owes Kelis a skosh less than $300,000 in spousal support. But it seems the most pressing problem is the mortgage for the home Kelis is living in -- Nas is behind $52,989.22.
So Nas' lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, filed a payment plan with the court, in which the rapper agrees to pay $17,500 up front, and then pretty much double the $7,800 mortgage payment each month to catch up.
It's pretty amazing -- Kelis' lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, has claimed Nas raked in $244,826 a month.
According to the docs, the plan is to sell the home stat.
We got this photo of Kelis and her son, Knight, out in Hollywood yesterday.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand ... bucks.

Kelis time to release a new album, and maybe sell off some of that gold around your neck..You are making your child miserable with all of the stress between you and Nas, just look at your kids face he looks stressed out.
as the great rodney dangerfield once said..hey great looking kid,wonderful boy..now I know why tigers eat their young..
what a waste of space on earth
Please Kelis can't afford the morgage and needs Nas to pay it! At least he is paying it!
such a gold digger. she wants to continue to live her lavish lifestyle. that baby probably isn't even his.
He was thinking about her delicious Milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard!
im pretty sure he got one to but honestly he needs another one because there complexion mixed doesn't even come close to that baby's complexion and they said she's been sleeping around. wow. but his daughter is pretty.
i still don't understand why a man has to pay his ex wife ANY money, once the marriage is dissolved; let alone thousands of dollars each month.
if i were a wealthy man i would NEVER get married. these guys are so dumb. when are they going to learn?! at least have a solid pre-nup if you insist on getting hitched. sheesh
Lola in America you don't have to marry for the woman to get a big payday...Look how much Tiger had to pay Uchitel...in America Gloria Allred will extort money out of any wealthy man, can't even have a casual relationship if you are rich here.
