KELIS has been left furious after her estranged husband Nas filed a legal bid to prevent her from receiving spousal support payments.
In the papers, filed by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, Nas is also asking for joint custody of their two-month-old boy, Knight.
The pair were married for almost five years until Kelis filed for divorce in April, citing irreconcilable differences.
Kelis is asking for $72,728 a month.
In June, it was claimed the Milkshake hitmaker 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 — whose real name is Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones — has since disputed the claims, insisting he “did not receive even half that amount”.
