Nas Is Unable To Pay Child Support

Hip Hop icon Nasir “Nas” Joneshas requested a reduction on child support payments, as he is unable to pay the amount primarily mandated by the courts. Recent reports show that Nashas been ordered by the court to pay over $87K in back child and spousal support. He claims that he cannot pay separated wife Kelis that amount along with the additional $10,000 a month in spousal support which is to stay current.

Although the judge estimated that Nas earns $152,031 monthly, the MC states that he makes “substantially less than that amount.” Mark Vincent Kaplan, his attorney, is asking the judge to reconsider the initial amount, TMZreports.

Furthermore, Kelis has reportedly requested that her request for a divorce be quickly processed. According to reports, the female raptress stated in a declaration that it would be best for both of their marital status be terminated as soon as possible. Since Kelis is afraid that the legal matters could take years to configure, she requests that the marriage is terminated immediately. She also stated that she doubts there will be any type of rekindle in their relationship, “I believe there is no possibility of reconciliation with Nas.”

Nas has agreed and wishes to move forward and continue to care for his family.  Allegations against him were dismissed after he paid nearly $50,000 in child support to Kelis. Her attorney sought the charges after Nas fell $200,000 behind on child and spousal support payments. He was ordered in December 2009 to pay more than $51,000 a month to Kelisand their son.

In a statement released on Wednesday (May 5), Nas says: “All I want to do is make music and raise my kids. Nothing else matters.”
