Kelis Files For Divorce From Nas

[RingMan]

The marriage between Queensbridge, NY rapper Nas and R&B songbird Kelis is officially over.

Vibe magazine reports that divorce papers were filed around 3:45 p.m. today (April 30) by attorney Laura Wasser on behalf of Kelis.

The songstress cited verbal abuse and infidelity as the reasons behind the filing.

"We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time," a representative for Kelis said in a statement.

The split concludes the romantic saga between Nas and Kelis that began when the pair first met in 2002 at an TV Video Music Awards afterparty thrown by rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The meeting at the afterparty resulted in a two year dating relationship that set the stage for Nas and Kelis’ marriage.

The couple officially tied the knot in a small ceremony in Atlanta on January 8, 2005.

Soon after, Nas and Kelis’ personal union segued into their professional lives, as Nas appeared on Kelis’ “In Public,” a single from her 2003 album Tasty.

Kelis made a cameo of her own with her featured role on Nas’ Hip Hop Is Dead album on the song “Not Going Back.”

Despite their collaborations and personal fondness for each other, rumors of Kelis and Nas separating began surfacing on the Internet in March 2008.

News of the couple’s divorce arrives as Nas and Kelis prepare for the arrival of their first child together.

Kelis is currently seven months pregnant with a son.

Both Nas and Kelis became romantically involved around seven years ago.

Nas and Kelis first met in 2002 at a MTV Video Music Awards afterparty thrown by hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. After dating for two years, the pair married in a small ceremony in Atlanta on July 28, 2003. Their relationship even sparked artistic collaborations. Since March of 2008, rumors of the couple separating have been circulating on the Web. Nas' spokesperson could not be reached for comment. (Vibe)
Nas spoke on his first child with Kelis in a blog earlier this year.

"We have a black President, and what he has accomplished gives me hope for the future of our f*cked up country," Nas wrote last February. "I got too much to think about, and I didn't wanna leave all my fans out the loop. But I wanted to let ya'll know from me personally that I'm having my first SON!!!!! I been celebrating life ya'll. Also I want you all to know that the Nas and Damian Marley album is coming in the next few months. It's something we have been secretly working on. Tour this summer too!" (Global Grind)
