Though she is currently seeking an increase on the $8,000 a month in child support Nas currently pays her for their son, Singer Kelis has revealed she is doing just fine financially years after splitting with Nas, with court docs stating she has nearly $700k in the bank and last year her income was nearly $1 million.
According to the folks over at The Blast, the singer filed new docs in her ongoing custody/support battle with Nas over their son Knight. According to her income declaration, Kelis says she currently has $691,153.22 in the bank and $1,374,000 worth of property.
Kelis’ monthly expenses include $5,726 for her mortgage, $4,500 on child care, $1,913 on groceries, $1,233 on eating out, $1,500 on laundry/cleaning, $1,728 on clothes, and $492 on entertainment. For Knight, she lists an additional $1,300 on private tutoring, $400 on a math tutor, $150 on Ju-Jitsu and $500 for art.
Her grand total of monthly expenses comes to $25,319.
Kelis has two businesses which pull in monthly income — her entertainment/touring company (MyKnight, Inc.) and Feast Enterprises, which is her food product business. In 2016, MyKnight pulled in $287,755 and the following year, made $922,840. Her net income following expenses came to $98,273 (2016) and $463,809 (2017).
Her food business, Feast Enterprises, pulled in $30k (2016) and $17k (2017) but both years she ended in the red following expenses — $51k and $31k, respectively. Her music royalties weren’t as much as one would think: $21k for 2016 and $9k for 2017.
Recently, Nas filed his won financial docs, revealing he pulls in around $175,000 a month and has over $8 million in the bank. His monthly expenses totaled $76k and he spent another $20,000 on supporting family members.
Is $8,000 a month not enough to take care of one child? Especially when you still have a substantial income of your own?
