We all know that the Nas-Kelis divorce has not gone smoothly. It often seems like everyone across the globe has dropped a “Smarten up Nas” about the situation. But, here’s a break in that narrative. Over the weekend, Nasir managed to get his child and spousal support obligations cut to about $25,000 a month. Read the rest of this entry »

This whole Nas V. Kelis saga is over. Yep, finally. Kelis won and in turn she gets…wait for it…$299,015.50. Is it just me or does dude keep getting raped for more and more money? As if that wasn’t enough: Read the rest of this entry »

The uglier this Nas vs. Kelis saga gets, the more I shake my head at the good brother Nasir.

Just to bring you up to speed, in case you missed it:

Kelis’ lawyer appeared before a judge to file a contempt motion due to Nas’ failure to pay over $200,000.00 in child and spousal support in addition to attorney fees. [BET]

And what did ol’ boy retort with?

The rapper pleaded not guilty through his attorney and was ordered back for a March hearing in Los Angeles.[...] One of Nas’ attorneys, Anthony Ukran, told Cunningham the rapper needs more time to prepare his defense and show he’s unable to pay the court-ordered support amounts.[Billboard]

Word son? Nas, sit down. Let’s talk. You’re facing criminal charges. Meaning, you could do time if convicted. Yeah, I understand it’s a big pill to swallow but homie, you might just have to take the L on this one. Your payments are $51K a month, you make $75k+ per show, you have an album coming out with a reggae legend(and you aired out the ex in one of the singles), and your excuse is that you don’t have the money? Dawg, this ain’t some random bum walking up to you on the street asking for some change. You can’t just say “I ain’t got it.” and walk away. This is the law as fueled by a vindictive ex. Even the judge has peeped your game.

Judge David S. Cunningham III, who is overseeing the divorce proceedings, said Friday it’s starting to look like the rapper is trying to evade court orders.

I’d say appeal later, pay now. Desi doesn’t need to see you go to jail on some BS.

Life’s a bitch, homie.

Stay scheming, daydreaming.

If the reports are correct, Kelis is taking this divorce thing to a whole new depth of golddiggery.

Have you seen the crack pipe numbers her and her lawyers have reportedly cooked up? Take a gander: Read the rest of this entry »

LOL, I started to be extra cynical and sing the “Dame Dash is dead, Dame Dash is dead…” mock that he once sang on a Dips mixtape. Dame ain’t dead, but for the sake of baby Jesus it’s like the man can’t catch a break. Now, reports show that he may longer be Mr. Rachel Roy.

Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear co-founder Damon Dash has been slapped with divorce papers by wife Rachel Roy, the Daily News has learned. The stunning fashion designer piled onto Dash’s already sizable stack of lawsuits when she filed for divorce from her husband of four years this month in Manhattan Supreme Court. Ed Hayes, a lawyer for Roy, declined comment, and a Dash spokeswoman did not return calls or e-mails. An electronic record of the case says the divorce is for “nonmonetary relief” and should be resolved by February.

It’s not like she could get bread out of Dame, since that would be “trying to get blood from a turnip” as my uncle would say. Read the rest of this entry »
