Kelis Gives Birth to a Boy
Posted by Adam
Kelis has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.
Knight, the Milkshake singer’s first child with estranged husband Nas, was born Tuesday in New York.
Nas, real name Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, was not allowed to be present at the birth.
“It was his intention to be there for the birth, but unfortunately he has not been allowed to be present,” a source close to the rapper to allhiphop.com. “While this is clearly heartbreaking to him, Nas continues to offer his support and love to his new baby boy and his mother.”
The pair were due in court Tuesday for a divorce hearing, but it was postponed due to the birth of the baby.
The pair were married for almost five years until Kelis filed for divorce in April, citing irreconcilable differences.
In June, it was claimed Kelis was asking for funds for stem cell storage for their baby, to “to bank the baby’s blood when he is born. The banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in the baby’s umbilical cord”.
She was also seeking $20,000 towards the cost of “purchasing strollers, cribs and other baby supplies” for their two homes, an apartment in Manhattan and a house in Los Angeles and money to pay for a baby nurse, nanny and other staff.
In court papers, she put the unborn baby’s expenses at $80,000 a month and insisted she was reliant on money from Nas, whose last record deal was worth a reputed $11 million.
Nas has since disputed the claims, insisting he “did not receive even half that amount”.
