Kelis Talks Album

B.J. — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:43:22 +0000

Kelis recently talked about how hard it is to choose songs to go on her album. The singer went on her Twitter to talk about it and said “I find myself fighting relentlessly every album. But at the end of the day why? There are wonderful sonicly [sic] perfect songs that never see the light of day.” You fight for the songs you want on the album because that’s the type of music any artist would want to be known for and make the world remember you by, that’s why. But then again, I don’t really think a lot of people really care about Kelis anymore.

Nas Raps About Kelis

B.J. — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:28:57 +0000

Nas and Kelis are far from friends after their marriage of four years ended and it just escalated after the rapper was ordered by the court to pay $1000 per month to his baby mama for child support. Nas has finally broken his silence about the situation in a new, unreleased verse from his ‘Strong Will Continue’ collaboration song. He raps “How in the hell am I supposed to stay comfy/ When I pay child support, alimony monthly/ So I’ve stuck with some married women so fine, cheating while their husband rushing on the 40-yard line/ Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time.” Burn!

Kelis VS PETA

B.J. — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:52:37 +0000

Kelis was recently verbally attacked by PETA having received a personalized letter about the singer wearing fur. She wasn’t having any of that so she wrote a letter back to the organization via her MySpace blog. She talked about why she likes wearing fur, eating meat and how PETA should find a more worthwhile cause, saying “If u want to preach do it about something worthwhile don’t waste my time trying to save the dang chipmunk. Find a worthwhile cause like the women being maimed in these Middle Eastern countries. Or female circumcision. Or women’s rights here in America, we still get paid less for doing the same jobs as men. Quite honestly if you hate the world so much go live in the forest where no one else has to hear you complain about the perfectly good food chain the good Lord created. Everyone has the right to an opinion, and that’s mine on that! xoxo”

Nas is getting dragged into court again

B.J. — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 20:14:58 +0000

And who other could be doing the dragging than his former wife, Kelis. Of course she has very good reason too, or so she claims. It seems Nas has been refusing to pay child support since the 1st of December last year and he is almost 60 000 dollars behind on his payments. Maybe he’s had a bad last quarter, how come Kelis doesn’t cut Nas a bit of slack? After all, those child support sums are not to laugh at in regards to quantity. Could Kelis have overstepped the lifestyle a bit and now she finds herself unable to go on with it? But, that is for the judge to decide after all.

Nas Doesn’t Want to Pay Spousal Support

B.J. — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:36:37 +0000

Kelis better find some way to make money fast and hire herself a good lawyer because the singer is in trouble! Nas filed a bid earlier this week requesting that he not have to pay spousal support to his estranged wife, who also happens to be the mother of their newborn child. Back in July, a New York judge ordered the rapper to pay Kelis $55,000 a month in both spousal and child support. Now, Nas wants to cut the number down to only include funds for his son. Now that is cold. He knows she doesn’t have a career anymore. Why does he have to stoop so low to hurt her like that?

Rap star Nas in court bid to block alimony payments to Kelis

B.J. — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:03:58 +0000

US rapper Nas has asked the judge in his divorce case to block his estranged wife Kelis from getting spousal support.

In papers, filed by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, Nas also requests joint custody of their two-month-old son Knight.

Kelis has asked for $72,728 a month in spousal support.

The singer, 30, married Nas, 36, in 2005. But she filed for divorce five months ago, citing irreconcilable differences.

Their son Knight was born in July and the hip-hop star proudly announced the birth in an online video.

Nas Faces Tax Lien

B.J. — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:49:59 +0000

Kelis isn’t the only person trying to get her hands inside Nas’ wallet as it turns out that Uncle Sam is after the rapper too! A federal tax lien was filed last month against Nas for a whopping $2,584,206.31! It looks like he failed to pay his taxes from way back in 2006 and 2007. The rapper is still currently involved in a bitter divorce battle with his estranged wife, singer Kelis. But with that tax lien, it looks like she is going to have to wait in line to get her money. At the rate he’s going, Nas will be broke before we get to ring in 2010.

Nas and Kelis Divorce Still On

B.J. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:58:55 +0000

Earlier this month, pictures of rapper Nas and singer Kelis popped up and made people think that the couple had reconciled and the divorce was thrown out of the window. It’s too bad that all those thoughts weren’t true. It seems that the couple was just playing nice for the camera because Kelis still wants their November 20th divorce hearing to proceed. I guess Nas will be paying a pretty penny for that kid after all. But if they could cease fire for the camera, why couldn’t they talk things out for their kid? The kid is the one that has to suffer through all of this anyway.

Kelis requests funds from Nas

B.J. — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:16:28 +0000

The singer who recently filled for divorce from rapper Nas is now demanding money from her soon to be ex-husband in order to cover child expenses and also stem cell storage. Kelis said the following about her demands for money from Nas: “I do not have funds to maintain our marital lifestyle or pay for our unborn child’s expenses, around $80,000 a month. My survival is based on Nas’ will at this time.” And of course we all know that stem cell storage is crucial to any family welcoming a baby in their midst. What kind of a musician is Kelis anyway if she still has to rely on Nas for financial support… or does she just want to milk the cow as much as possible while it’s still in season?

Nas’ infidelity toward Kelis

B.J. — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:04:24 +0000

The singer recently wrote on her twitter account about how her husband, Nas, apparently cheated on her. Kelis wrote the following: “This lovely day I would like to touch on cheaters. Super brief! Why be cowardly, why not go after what you really want? Do people know what they want? Probably not which goes into know and respecting ones self. Also we can discuss wusses I mean the nasty sub par tricks that participate in cheating. Well let me say this, both parties that are gross. And reality they deserve each other. All the scum bag coward husbands and less than impressive sluts unite! You can all go down in flames together! Hooray!” It seems Kelis filled for divorce from Nas in April, even though she’s eight months pregnant with his child. Does that mean there won’t be any more prizes in the baby-naming contest? How sad…

Nas Doesn’t Want to Pay Up

B.J. — Mon, 25 May 2009 18:06:56 +0000

It looks like things are about to get ugly in the divorce going on between Nas and Kelis. Kelis recently filed for divorce and she’s already seven months pregnant with their first child. However, Nas, one of the most affluent rappers in the world, has filed a request with their divorce judge to deny his soon-to-be ex-wife the spousal support she is asking for and to pay for her own lawyer’s fees. He is asking for joint custody of their unborn child though. You wish dude. If you can’t even support the mother of your child, how can you take care of the baby?

Kelis Files for Divorce

B.J. — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:40:00 +0000

Hip hop power couple Kelis and Nas are going through a divorce. The saddest part of this story is that Kelis is actually seven months pregnant. The couple met at a 2002 MTV VMA’s after party which was thrown by Diddy. They then tied the knot in 2003. Reps for Kelis have confirmed the split, stating “I can confirm that she has filed for divorce… We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time.” The singer is asking for both spousal and child support from the rapper. I wonder what brought this on. They’ve been pretty quiet up until now.

Kelis and Nas having difficulty naming child

B.J. — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:52:23 +0000

The couple has apparently hit a hard spot while expecting their first child together since they do not know how to name him. Kelis is considering organizing an on-line contest in order to find a suitable name for Nas’ future son. Kelis said: “Yeah, we are deciding between a few baby names. It’s kind of hard. I’ve been thinking about kind of putting something online – ‘Choose his name.’ You get a couple stacks for that. We take care of you for that. You win something real. But we’re thinking now.” Sure, go ahead, let somebody else chose the kid’s name. Why not? I can just picture Nas going to Kelis in their home “Where has Destructor run off to now?” or “Is Crucifier playing with the cat again?” Real family values for you!

Kelis Making Milk

B.J. — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 21:58:45 +0000

Her milkshare brought all the boys to the yard but now the milk is going to be needed by someone else. Us Weekly is reporting that singer Kelis and her hubby, rapper Nas, are expecting their first child together. Kelis was recently spotted already sporting a little bump. There’s no word on when the singer is due or if there’s already information about whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Congratulations to the happy couple! I hope she has a safe pregnancy and that the baby will come out healthy. That baby’s going to get a lot of milkshake for its money.
