Rapper Nas has been ordered to pay more than $290,000 in backdated support payments and legal bills to ex-wife Kelis. In January, the “Milkshake” hitmaker asked a judge to summon her former partner to court, alleging the hip-hop star had failed to keep up with spousal support payments and child support for their son, Knight.
In court papers, Kelis’ legal team claimed the rapper had fallen behind by $56,911. Nas was ordered to Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, April 12, and the judge presiding over the case ruled the star must hand over an immediate payment of $47,249 in backdated child support and $40,454 in spousal support.
The judge also increased monthly spousal support payments to $10,000 a month until Nas has paid the money he owes his ex-wife. The rapper was also hit with a $155,787 bill for Kelis’ legal fees, as well as $48,549 to cover her accounting costs, according to TMZ.com.
Nas and Kelis split at the beginning of 2009, shortly before the birth of their son.

What about the money you owe to get YOUR promoter out of the jam you put him in when you decided to play ball wiht Lebron James instead of SHOW UP IN ANGOLA!!!!!!! THey are still there you @ss!!!!! Step up and take some responsibility for your actions and get them out of there….You may prefer NOT to pay your wife but her deserves to SEE his!!!! Step up to the plate…..
Sounds like someone needs to be responsible….your blind followers will not care your not taking care of your responsibility to your son and they probably don’t care that a husband and son are being held in Angola against their will for the past 38 days because you wanted to hang with Lecrybaby James when you were paid up front for the concert you never showed up for. Nice going Nas. Way to be that role model for your son!!
