Though the marriage of New York rapper Nas and singer Kelis ended earlier this year, the battle between the two over money is still ongoing.
According to celebrity gossip website, TMZ, Nas admitted in recently filed legal documents that he owes his ex-wife a little less than $300,000 in back spousal support. He is also apparently behind in the mortgage payments of the house she is currently living in.
The Illmatic rapper’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, filed a payment plan with the court that says Nas will make up for the mortgage by forking over $17,500 upfront and then doubling up on the $7,800 payments until he is caught up.
Despite all of the reports that the two had become enemies during the divorce, the singer, whose new album titled Flesh Tone will be released on July 6th, insists that she and Nas still have their good moments.
“It wasn’t really a bitter divorce,” said Kelis during an interview with Perez Hilton. “Sometimes [we’re on friendly terms.] [laughs] No, [we didn’t reconcile], not reconcile in the sense like we’re back together. But I mean, you know, we had about eight years.”
She also confirmed rumors that she is currently seeing someone.
“Yeah, I am [seeing someone]. [It’s been going on] for a little while now. It’s going great.”
