Nas cannot pay Kelis child and spousal Support

With his album with Damian Marley gaining steam, Nas has been all over the news. However, his news has not been anything that he wants out there. For years, he and Kelis appeared to be a very happy couple. Last year, this happy marriage came crashing down and Kelis wanted a divorce.

Because of his line of work, Nas makes around $800,000 a month, but his lifestyle and taxes only allow him around $100,000 of this money. Kelis has been trying to sue Nas for $200,000 in both child and spousal support. But, Kelis also has a hefty income of her own.

Nas, having other children to pay child support for, living the type of life he lives, and then taxes, cannot afford the numbers that Kelis is asking for. Aside from his own financial woes, Nas knows that Kelis has a good income of her own. These two facts have him fighting paying Kelis $200,000.

However, the main reason that Nas is trying to get out of paying this money is because of the possibility of him not being able to pay for it.
