So while the likes of hip-hop’s Ren & Stimpy (Method Man and Redman to ya’ll) declare war on purported trife and lazy women over Nas paying a grip in child support, it seems the man himself isn’t all that worried about the excessive amount.

Why? Because that’s the figure he proposed himself.

That is, according to his lawyer.

On the $55,000 per month Nas has to hand over to Kelis every month in child support and alimony, his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told OK! Magazine: “This is the exact same amount that my client offered to pay from the beginning.”

Suddenly “You Owe Me” is playing in my head.

Now, he could be lying to save face, but if true, does that mean everyone will stop taking shots at Kelis for getting that money if Nas is the one handing it out?

While Nas is probably off somewhere quietly hurting because of the crazy sum of money he was recently ordered to pay Kelis,  Method Man and Redman were very vocal about the whole debacle!  The two rappers visited EZ Street of WKYS and went in once they were told the amount that Nas would have to cough up. Here’s what they had to say:

“….I don’t know the ends and outs of their relationship but as far as speaking for men in general…. 50 grand a month for some p-ssy is some bullsh-t. Ladies for real all you did was f-ck your man. That money right there? A kid doesn’t need that much to survive. You trying to maintain your life style. That’s f-cked up. I want to see the shoe on the other foot…If we don’t nip this sh-t in the bud right now and have the court system seeing sh-t for what it actually is. If you ask me the court system is geared more towards the women than the men.”

“What the kids don’t understand is the air they breathing. The lights. The cable. The Mortgage. All that fall on Daddy’s shoulders. Not to mention he has to pay this stanking a– b-tch that he don’t even f-ck with anymore to look good for some other n-gga. This sh-t is crazy to me and any chick that does that sh-t is foul.”

Tell ‘em why you mad son!

For all those who have argued that Kelis deserves the money for her son:  actually according to court reports, baby Knight Jones will only get $9,027 per month.  Where’s the rest of the $55K going to?  Well Kelis will receive $30,471 a month in spousal support and Nas will continue to pay the couple’s mortgage until it is decided what will happen with their house. In addition to all that Nas will have to cough up $45,000 for both Kelis’ attorney fees and for a forensic accountant, cost incurred during the whole money argument that has spanned the last few months!

Poor Nas. Hope he was serious when he said all he needs is one mic (that might be about all he can afford at the end of each month after Kelis rings him dry). At least he’s still got some friends in his corner too.

Remember these cats? Well, Method Man and Redman certainly recall the good times they had with you in the late 90s. As a show of just how badly they wanna reacquaint with fans Read the rest of this entry »
