Yesterday, a judge ordered NAS to INCREASE the monthly child and spousal support payments that he’s paying his estranged wife, KELIS.

–Nas had been paying nearly $40,000 a month . . . (–$30,471 for Kelis . . . and an additional $9,027 per month for their son, Knight, who was born in July.) But now that number has been bumped up to $51,101 a month.

–That’s over $600,000 a year. (!!!)

–Initially, Kelis was asking for more than $80,000 a month, just in spousal support. They’ve been arguing over Nas’ income for months now. Nas recently claimed he made $150,000 a month, but Kelis said it was a lot higher.

IT’S CHEAPER TO KEEP HER BUT IT’S ILLER TO KILL-ER
