Everyone knows about Nas and Kelis’ nasty little divorce last May, and how she was practically taking him to the cleaners to the tune of $10,000.00 for child support and $40,000.00 a month for alimony. But an LA judge has cut Nas some slack after he calimed that he couldn’t pay his bills.
So now Nas will have to cough up $5,000.00 for child support and $20,000.00 a month for alimony, which will leave just about $250,000.00 in his pocket a month for his own survival. Damn, it certainly is cheaper to keep her.
Nas says that it’s all love between him and ex-wife, Kelis on this snippet of Ne-Yo’s upcoming single. As for the pic up top, no comment.

What seems to be the most accepted and welcomed counterpart to Hip-Hop is the beloved genre of R&B. Over the years, this union often created the ultimate blend of edge and soul showing that Hip-Hop could evolve and expand while reaching new depths and a broader range of listeners.
Songs like Method Man and Mary J. Blige’s famed “You’re All I Need”, Nas and Lauryn Hill’s “If I Ruled The World”, and The Roots and Erykah Badu’s ‘You Got Me” are all prime examples of how the art of this particular collaboration could help shape an important sound and staple in Hip-Hop. However, some hook-ups come along every now and then to make you wonder why the hell they ever happened in the first place. It has to be a motive behind it, it just has to. Right? Of course, walk with me.
