Nas Ordered To Pay Kelis $51,000 A Month

Kelis , who filed for divorce when she was 7 months pregnant in April 2009, has just hit the jackpot because her soon-to-be-ex-husband Nas has been ordered to pay her a whopping $51,101 a month.

Nas must pay $10,647 a month in child support and $40,454 a month in spousal support, he had been paying around $40,000 a month since July.

During the court hearing, which both of the R&B stars were described as stuck for cash, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge made the ruling which also included that Nas no longer has to pay $13,000 a month for their Los Angeles home which he now no longer lives in.

Kelis, real name Kelis Rogers, recently signed a $175,000 contract with Interscope records but her lawyer said most of that money went to her former managers and she is only receiving about $50,000 from it. They also put down her new music saying the last song she made only appeared on Twitter. Her lawyer said she was thrilled with the court ruling.

Nas, real name Mark Vincent Kaplan, is apparently in a lot of debt because he owes 700,000 to his current manager and a few million to the IRS. His next album is expected to be released in late 2010.

I don’t understand how Nas can afford to pay Kelis so much money a month if he owes the IRS so much.
