Nas and Kelis are officially over

For years, Nas and Kelis were one of the most-popular couples within the hip hop community. After years of dating, the couple wed in 2005 and had a child in 2009. Despite appearing to be the picture of love, the two were falling out of love. Even through the birth of their child, they were drifting apart. While Kelis was still pregnant, she filed for divorce from Nas.

Despite filing for divorce, some people felt as if she would forgive Nas and take him back. For a few weeks, it looked as if it were a major possibility. Having been out of the spotlight, Kelis wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret. She wanted her child with Nas to be a secret, even after he was born. Initially, Nas agreed to allow their child to be a secret.

But, during a concert performance in Queens, Nas announced to the world his first son, Knight, was born. Any chances of Kelis ending the divorce proceedings ended then. In the time since she filed for divorce from Nas, Kelis has been asking for over $700,000 in support from Nas. While demanding over a half of a million dollars, she is not letting Nas see his son. Because of this, Nas has lost the respect he did have for Kelis and he was soon eager to divorce her.

Finally, after five years of marriage and one horrible year, Nas is finally done with Kelis, as far as marriage goes. The divorce was final, today, and Nas plans to move on with his life. Aside from Knight, he has another child, Destiny, who is 16. Nas still sees Carmen Bryan, the mother of Destiny, because of the child and he will still be seeing Kelis, because of their child.
