Kelis is going to court to try to get her soon-to-be former husband, hip-hop star Nas, to foot the bill on child support expenses.

The “Milkshake” hitmaker is asking a Los Angeles judge to order the rapper to pay spousal support, child support, all pregnancy-related expenses, and one-half of all medical expenses once their son is born next month. According to TMZ.com, Kelis — who claims she is broke — also wants $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child’s birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.

Kelis says she became accustomed to a certain lifestyle while married to Nas, and her husband has an obligation to keep her draped in Gucci and Louis:

“There were many expensive pieces [of jewelry] such as a princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet that was recently appraised for $190,000,” Kelis wrote in her plea to the court. “My engagement ring is an approximately nine-carat cushion-cut diamond solitaire. I have numerous watches…such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller and Chopard.”

“My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid.”

Some women are so stupid. You should never allow yourself to become totally financially dependent on a man. When they move on to the next, they are taking their money with them. Keep a stash, ladies!
