ABOVE: Kelis singing her hit, “Milkshake.” We’re pretty sure she’s making more money as as a divorcee than as a (bad) singer.
A California judge has ordered Nas to pay Kelis approximately $44,000 in monthly support for the time being, a day after the “Milkshake” singer gave birth to the divorcing pair’s baby boy, according to a Billboard.com report.
According to the report, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Louis Meisinger issued the order at a Thursday hearing. Neither Nas, whose full name is Nasir Jones, nor Kelis, whose full name is Kelis Rogers, were in attendance at the hearing.
Kelis gave birth to the boy, whom she named Knight, at a New York hospital on Wednesday. She filed for a divorce from Nas in April. The couple got married in July 2003.
Nas and Kelis have been fighting over support payments for several months, with Kelis contending that her ex failed to pay the bills related to her pregnancy. Nas has maintained that he has kept up with payments, giving Kelis $30,000 for her expenses and maintaining the couple’s health insurance.
A hearing on whether the payments should be adjusted will be held on September, 8.
Nas recently debuted a new song, a duet with the Beastie Boys called “Too Many Rappers“

Wow! Getting divorced was the best thing that ever happened to this woman-there's no way she made this kind of money as a one-hit-wonder singer.

I was never a big fan of Kelis, but Nas i was always a fan of. Kelis should not be entitled to anything for herself. She should only worry about Nas doing his part as a father. I didn’t hear her talking about spending any of her money on the baby. She was the one who wanted out of the marriage. She is money hungry and she needs to stand on her own two feet.
