Nas Ordered To Pay Kelis $40,000 In Monthly Child Support!

Just one day after the birth of their son Knight, a judge ordered Nas to pay Kelis nearly $40,000 in monthly support Huffington Post reports. Neither Nas, whose real name is Nasir Jones, nor Kelis, whose full name is Kelis Rogers, attended Thursday's hearing.

The Milkshake singer will receive $30,471 in spousal support per month and the couple's son will receive $9,027, according to the court records.

The two have been sparring over support payments for several months, with Kelis contending that Nas hasn't paid many of her pregnancy costs. Nas' attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, stated that the rapper has paid $30,000 in expenses and the former couple's health insurance has been maintained.

A hearing on whether the payments should be altered is scheduled for Sept. 8.
