Nas & Kelis Plus One

Nas is a Baby's Daddy



Hey folks,

Okay, cheesy line, but it speaks... AllHipHop has been hitting me up about this Nas & Kelis situation. Kelis has filed for divorce from Nas. And this was while she was pregnant. The baby was born July 22nd, and already Kelis has brought about a $44 - 55K per month in child support until a court hearing in September... Not only that, but Nas will have to pay $45,000 for Kelis's attorney & court fees... (Nas needs to push that 10th album out quick, homie.)

Anyway, on a brighter note, let's give a shout out to the new baby boy, Knight Jones. Wonder what he'll be like when he grows up. This will be Nas's second child.

This used to be one of hip-hop's all star couples under Russell & Kimora, Jay & Beyonce... So sad... There had been rumors that Nas cheated, thanks to Kelis's "online tweets". Anwayz, as always, Music Forecast will keep you posted...

R&N- 07/21/09- Evening News

It's Tuesday! 2 HUGE albums out today~

The lovely Jordin Sparks with "Battlefield". I didn't really like her music til I saw her perform Battlefield live for the Jonas Brothers & Honor Society World Tour. I figured out that she was actually saying "Better go get your Armor.." versus what I misheard.. "rubber" or "Mother". haha. seriously. She's super cool! & Track 10 was written with Christa Black! She's 1 of my heroes, and musicians, and 1 of the very talented females in the String section for the Jonas Brothers. Check out her fully insightful blog Here: Christablack.blogspot.com


& the lovely Demi Lovato. Her sophomore album entitled: "Here We Go Again" makes a fierce display of her vocals and her song-writing. John Mayer co-wrote 1 of the songs with Demi. Nick Jonas helped with another. Her album is definitely worth every cent. :)

R&N - 7/21/09 Baby Postpones Court

Kelis had to postpone her scheduled hearing about child support and prenatal expenses with soon-to-be-ex-husband, Nas, because she went into labor.
Nas refused to cover expenses related to the birth. (Come on Nas...are you REALLY mad at her enough to not pay for your baby being born?). Kelis states that Nas has left her "high and dry" and Nas stated Kelis thinks he has more money than he actually has. It is not clear as to whether or not Nas is present while Kelis is in labor. That is just so sad...enjoy the baby you two!

R&N - 7/19/09 Gospel Music Sunday

Ok...I'm so bootleg I know I KNOW, but check this out: You didn't hear from me weekend B4 last cuz I was at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans! It was HOTT! And guess what, I ran into Ms. Candy West and she said "Just call me!" So I GOTTA quit sleepin and get this good interview for ya'll - no doubt! BUt ya'll know who Ministered, yeah yeah Kirk (who I had the pleasure of meeting) but YO- Ya gurl LEDISI - She Ministered with her song "ALRIGHT" and yeah, I know we was all bobbin our heads to it feelin all "neo-soulish" and what not but when I tell you she Took us in, she DID that! So I wanna take this time to give it to you like I got it, and hope you're just as blessed as I am.

Lil live action...


Question of the day?

I saw alot of different talent and personalities that weekend, many familar faces. And one thing that stood out to me was how "cool" the secular people were. Now for me to say that, of course that means I had to have an experience with tha "saints" that made the aints seem much more pleasant...lol. Ya'll I was SO saddened, after a few days of bein around celebrities who genuinely appreciated folks -stopping, showin love, havin time for fans...I get to Sunday and the "gospel artists" minus Kirk an nem....some of them ya'll, u couldn't even speak to them...u had to "speak to their people" They were so HIGH up in tha Heavens with Mother Mary...that they "literally" didn't share the same reality as me...seemed to down right refuse it! What is that???? IF thats the price we have to pay as "Spiritual leaders" in the music ministry - is it worth it? Just a thought..... I said God, "There has to be a better way." Maybe I only saw one side of it though...who knows?
