Nas Pleads Not Guilty To Contempt Of Court

Nas has pleaded not guilty to contempt of court amid allegations he failed to pay child and spousal support to his estranged wife Kelis. The Milkshake singer filed for divorce from Nas last year, just months before giving birth to their son Knight in July.

The former couple has since been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle, prompting Kelis to file a contempt motion against the rapper, alleging he’s failed to support his family financially.

At a court hearing on Friday, Kelis’ lawyer accused Nas of owing more than $200,000 in child and spousal support and attorney’s fees. Nas’ attorney entered a not guilty plea on the rapper’s behalf.
