Kelis Wants More Money in Child Support From Nas

Kelis wants more milkshakes in her yard...or at least more money in her pocket.

TMZ reports that Kelis filed legal papers against her ex-husband Nas to cough up more money in child support. According to the gossip news site, Kelis is saying that the current ruling of $8,000 a month isn't enough to take care of their eight-year-old son, Knight.

The original order was put in place five years ago when their son was three. But now, that he's a bit older, Kelis is arguing that Knight has more needs and that those needs come at a cost. TMZ also claims that the paperwork argues that since Nas is a lot more well off now than he was a few years ago so he should be able to afford it.

Kelis didn't say how much more she wants, but she does want at least 50 percent of Knight's school-related costs, child care needs and unreimbursed health care fees.

This news comes a month after the two settled their custody battle allowing Nas "four full weekends over January, February and March" with their son. Previous to that, Nas' called his ex-wife "hostile" and voiced concern over not being able to see his son on a regular basis. It seemed the two were able to work it out until now.
