They've been dodging divorce rumors for years but it seems that the talk has finally materialized into reality. Kelis has filed for divorce from Nas after nearly 6 years of marriage.


Journalist Elliott Wilson aka YN shared the sad news of the split last night via his RapRadar website.

Sad news is spreading that Kelis and Nas' marriage is no more--this time, for real. Apparently, Miss Milkshake is fed up with this QB dude's verbally abusive and cheating ways. Let us not forget, ole girl is seven months preggars. Smh. We at Rap Radar hope these crazy kids can work it out, but it's not lookin' good. If all goes as planned, Kelis should be filing for divorce very soon. Damn shame!
VIBE.com published a confirmation that Kelis filed divorce papers yesterday, along with a copy of the petition in question.

"I can confirm that she has filed for divorce," a spokesperson for Kelis told VIBE. "We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time."


At around 3:45pm PST yesterday, attorney Laura Wasser filed a divorce petition today on behalf of Kelis, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple are expecting their first child together--a son. Kelis is currently seven months pregnant and is due to deliver July 21st.

This is really sad news, but if Nas is truly a verbally abusive cheater, Kelis certainly deserves better.

Do you think their marriage gave her more visibility or hurt her career? I think it both hurt and helped her.  Publicly she was in the spotlight more often by virtue of being his wife, but more often than not she was there playing a supporting role to him. Since he has had more success as an artist that seems logical, but one thing I always loved about Kelis was that independent spark she has. Maybe once she's free she'll be able to take her career places she hasn't been able to during their six years of marriage.



Well Carmen Bryan tried to warn us! Guess "I Hate You So Much Right Now" is pretty appropriate right about now. I wish there were some way for them to work it out -- counseling or something -- but if they do split, I hope it can be as amicable as possible.

How long do you think before Kelis heads into the studio to channel her personal life into music? Do you think the divorce could make both her and Nas better artists? Who do you think he might have cheated with? Is there another artist out there that you think might have been a better match for Kelis? What about Nas?

I'd love to see her with Andre 3000 -- their collaborations on "Dracula's Wedding" and "Millionaire" were much better than anything she did with Nas in my opinion.

Although we don't know the whole story and all the reasons for the divorce, I'll just stick with the facts:

Fact 1. Kelis is filing for divorce & is asking for spousal & child support (God Damn)
Fact 2. She is filing for divorce before the baby has even been born.
Fact 3. Kelis was got on video commiting adultry with some no name rapper.
Fact 4. Kelis was caugt in MIA trying to solicit a prostitute so called partake in a 3some with her & hubby Nas..
Fact 5. But only Kelis was prosecuted that night!!!
Fact 6. Kelis's milkshake is known the bring all the boys to the yard (LMAO!!!)

In conclusion: My facts leads me to believe that Kelis has always been nothing but a freaky ass, money hungry hoe looking to get married and prego by a popular rapper, industry exec or any other celeb with deep pockets.

Memo to Nas: Please get a Paternity Test my nigga...Real Talk...That bitch is so scandolous that she let a nigga hit raw dog and probably even skeeted inside of her....That's some foul, fucked up ass shit..How you gonna let a nigga you barely even know hit raw dog, then go back to fucking your hubby not knowing if you just caught something????

GET THAT TEST NAS!!!!

When I first heard this news I was shocked. I thought these two would last. How do you get the idea in your head to divorce someone when you are seven months pregnant ? I think it's best if those two just try to work it out. And I don't believe all these stuff in these blog making it seem like Kelis was the innocent party. I could possible believe the verbal abuse but I don't believe the cheating. it's seem like Nas can't win when it comes to females he love.

Very sad situation. I'd say Clo-fresh hit it right on the nail.

{{-_-}}

lmao @ Clo-Fresh and his made up facts
1. She's filing for divorce 7 months pregnant b/c she caught Nas cheating
2. There is no tape
3. She was arrested by undercover cops who were trying to entrap Nas and his boys in Mia. She ran to his defense and got hemmed up, that's why it was thrown out. Clearly, if she was soliciting she'd be in jail.
4. If she was gold-digging she wouldn't have married Nas
5. She has toured w/U2, Moby, Bjork, No Doubt and Britney Spears & sold over 4 milly in singles and had countles top 10 hits overseas. She doesn't have Nas money, but she's more than good.

Why diss her b/c Nas fucked up? His wife filed for divorce 7 months pregnant? He clearly hurt her deep. I'm happy she was strong enough leave. I do hope they can work it out for the kids sake.

Satin Doll is really going hard defending smut.
1. She was cheating herself.
2. Yes there was a tape and you're in denial if you think there wasn't (or you just haven't heard of it).
3. Don't care.
4. Thanks to the laws in this country which guarantee her free money just for spreading her legs (even if she was cheating), you can't rule that possibility out. Why else would she divorce the man when she's still holding his seed? You automatically assume she's the victim because she's a woman, which is sexist.
5. So what? Her singing is crap and so are her albums (which is why Pharrell is rid of her); touring with people doesn't mean you're a success. Some people overseas will hop on anything.

You feminist women (I hope you're a woman) always stick together to defend each other even when one or both of you are clearly in the wrong. You either are Kelis or her spokesperson.

{{-_-}}

1. She was not cheating on him. That's why he refused the papers when he was served. Nigga's not trying to lose his wife. He just wants to have his chicks on the side too and she's not having it.
2.Have you seen the tape? lol Do you know anyone who has seen the tape? That tape would have spread through the net like wildfire. Face it lol It's a rumor.
3.She divorcing him while she's pregnant because SHE CAUGHT HIM CHEATING ON HER lol What part of that don't u get? She's not willing to sit around while Nas fucks around on her.
4. Her singing may be crap, but she's made alot of money singing that crap. Pharrell thinks Kelis is dope & she left Star Trek. He didn't get rid of her lol
5. I'm not feminist, but if you put 2 and 2 together it's clear Nas fucked up. A pregnant woman isn't just going to leave her husband. Hopefully he can get her back for the sake of the seed and he can put that shit behind and be the husband he says he wants to be.

1. He refused the papers because he knew her ass was cheating also.
2. I saw the tape and I know plenty of others who have also. It was even linked on this site.
3. Once again, she cheated also.
4. Don't care.
5. Kelis is the one who fucked up being in a sex tape with some other dude. They're gonna use that in court (hopefully it's of use). A pregnant woman WILL leave her husband to get child support, spousal support, and alimony.

If she's so foul why didn't he leave? If she cheated that would STOP her from getting ANYTHING in a divorce preceeding. Y'all idiots don't think lol Just repeat a bunch of simple stuff that makes no sense.

If that tape was on the net it would have been all over TMZ, X17, the smoking gun, radaronline and the like similar to every other celeb sextape or photo. & ppl wouldn't still be saying "alleged" and "rumored" it'd be a fact. We both know u'v seen no tape lol We both know u know no one who has seen any tape.

Ppl can dig up divorce papers, Rihanna's LAPD pics, but no one can put a sextape on blast? lol yeah ok

I'm done discussing this shit. If it makes u feel good to diss Kelis when Nas is clearly the one in the wrong then knock urself out lol.

He didn't leave because he knows it's cheaper to keep her, plus he wanted to save as much face as possible. Doesn't matter now because she ended up leavin anyway.

And for your information, just because a woman cheats doesn't mean that she would get nothing in a divorce proceeding. The whole legal process could take months, during which the man has to pay the woman a retainer fee which he doesn't get back. Either way, marriage and divorce benefit women over men. That's why every woman in the world is trying to get married and men are getting much less interested in putting it all on the line just for some female to take it all.

You really trust the media to tell the whole truth about EVERYTHING? They pick and choose what they wanna blast. TMZ's too busy following Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton around to give a fuck about anything that's going on in the hip-hop world, let alone any men's rights issues such as the unfairness in divorce and family court. Plus it's a well known fact that the media has been biased to make men look bad, so don't count on them to report information such as Kelis' sex tape, which is real by the way. It was on here not too long ago and I have no idea how you possibly could've missed it.

Like I said, you're going pretty hard defending smut. Did you happen to go thru a situation such as this yourself?

{{-_-}}

1. Bullshit lol Nothing is juicier than a celebrity sex tape. Most of these current stars have started careers off sex tapes. Nas and Kelis are the 2nd biggest couple in black music and Kelis is an internationally known celeb. That tape would have been HUGE. GTFOMF w/that me and my 3 friends saw it shit.

2.I respect both Nas and Kelis as artists, Nas more so. The fact is he got caught out there (no pun) and she showed him she's not having it. It's only a petition for divorce, so she can easily withdraw it. I have no reason to call her a smut and honestly neither do u.

3. Nas will tell u himself that Kelis (and his kids) was the best thing to happen to him. Hopefully, they can work it out and get it back. They seemed to genuinely love each other.

1. Just because YOU didn't see it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It means that you need to do more research.
2. She has no reason to divorce Nas, and if she did then how come she didn't wait until the baby was born. That shows Kelis as a selfish, narcissistic opportunist.
3. Hopefully paying child support and alimony will finally teach Nas to have better taste in women.
