Nas is trying to block his soon-to-be ex-wife Kelis from getting her requested $72,728 per month in spousal support, according to papers filed Monday by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Nas was ordered to pay Kelis $44,000 in child support payments in addition to a one-time payment of $45,000 for her attorney fees and for a forensic accountant. In August, Kelis’ attorney Laura Wasser filed a motion seeking to increase the support payments to $72,728 based on the $240,000 the rapper earns per-month.
In total, Kelis wants $17,225 a month in child support, $72,728 in spousal support, $29,522 in back child support, and retro spousal support in the amount of $281,571.
