Kelis Accuses Nas of Abandoning Her During Pregnancy 

Just weeks after news of their divorce broke, Kelis has accused her estranged husband Nas of abandoning her during her pregnancy. Kelis is carrying the couple's first child together and is reportedly due to give birth next month.

MTV News has obtained court papers filed by Kelis against Nas that detail her accusations.

In the motion, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Kelis is seeking child support, spousal support, and attorney fees and costs from Nas.

Overall, the singer's requests total a number of one-time payments upwards of $30,000 for birthing costs, a nurse, baby items for multiple homes, and more.

According to the documents, Kelis is due to give birth to the couple's first child on July 21. (Nas has a daughter, Destiny Jones, 15, from a previous relationship.)

Kelis is also seeing spousal support retroactive to April 30 when the couple split, according to the filing. Requests for child support, beginning when Kelis gives birth, and for Nas to maintain her medical insurance were also made.

In the papers, Kelis, a recording artist with a number of hits including "Milkshake" and "Caught Out There," maintains that she is dependent on Nas' financial will. The singer said she took a hiatus from her musical career in 2008 to attend culinary school. The monies she received in that year were royalty payments, but have since been spent on monthly bills.

In the filing, Kelis and her legal team attempt to paint Nas' financial picture.

The paperwork alleges Nas signed an $11 million recording contract with Def Jam and is co-owner of touring company, Gorilla Union. The documents state Nas also pays for five homes, three for the couple in Los Angeles, New York and Georgia, and one for his family in New York and her family in the Dominican Republic. In addition to business ventures and property, the filings suggest Nas owns a number of luxury items, including a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Maybach, a Ferrari and a full-time driver in New York.

According to the filing, the married couple maintained separate bank accounts and filed separate tax returns.

A source who requested anonymity told MTV News that Kelis has attempted to reach Nas directly and via her attorney, but both routes have been unsuccessful.

"All of this is adding up and all of the weight is falling on her shoulders, creating extreme emotional stress which I'm sure has affects on her physically since she's due to give birth any day now," the source said. "Kelis has spent every last penny that she has to cover whatever expenses for the baby that she can but at this point really needs him to step up and share in the responsibility. She physically can't work to bring in any sort of income, as much as she'd like to."

Earlier this month, Kelis took to Twitter to comment about infidelity. She did not name Nas, but the Tweets appeared in the wake of a widely circulated photo of him surrounded by unidentified women in Turks and Caicos. The image was leaked by Nas using singer Maxwell's Twitter account; Maxwell was also pictured in the image.

Throughout her series of Tweets, Kelis discussed the "sub par tricks" that participate in cheating with a married man. She said "all the scum bag coward husbands" and "less than impressive" women should unite and "go down in flames together."

Word of the couple's divorce was first reported in April of this year. The pair were married in January 2005 and until recently seemed to be the picture of happiness, collaborating on music together and appearing on number red carpets. In February, Nas even asked for fans' help in naming his and Kelis' baby.


$30,000 for birthing costs ?

ya i doubt she's broke

Kelis doesn't sound like she's being reasonable.  Nas is one of the most successful rap artists in history.  He writes about fucking bitches in nearly every other song he has recorded.  She's been pregnant and lost her figure temporarily.  You really think Nas is going to give up sex for around 6 months when he's got bitches like he does?   Highly, Highly unlikely.  

And Kelis is acting like she has such high moral character, but she's acting like a whore in her video's, and selling her body..."My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" and then she wants to talk about "scum bag coward husbands" and "sub par tricks"?    

Also, we aren't getting Nas side of the story.

Leaving your wife while she is pregnant with your child is low, but I expected no less from a low-life like Nas. Unless his side of the story is that baby belongs to another man he's got no excuse. Why is the black girl lost? Because her father left when she was a baby and her husband left while she was pregnant. Nas should record a song called Circle of Life with that as the topic, even use the Lion King sample. At least then I'd respect the clown.

[Action!]

I can't believe she's broke but I do think Nas should cover her the change (from his perspective) for his child.

Your a ignorant mother fucker. You can't honestly tell me that ALL her money went to bills. The bitch gets paid through multiple royalties constantly. Also I think Nas should pay for his kid, but shouldn't have to pay for shit the bitch can pay for her self.
