Nas is facing criminal contempt charges after failing to pay ordered child and spousal support to estranged wife, Kelis.
Pleading not guilty to charges levied by Kelis earlier this year over missed payments, a Los Angeles judge has ordered the "One Mic" rapper to appear before the court next month (March).
According to Kelis' attorney, Nas is $200,000 behind on child and spousal support. While it is unclear just how much Kelis has received since their divorce proceedings began last summer, it has been confirmed that Nas was ordered to pay $51,000 per month to his wife and infant son in December.
In related news, one of Nas' attorneys, Anthony Ukran, told Judge David S. Cunningham III that Nas needed more time to prepare his defense, showing that he is unable to pay the court ordered support.
Nas could face time behind bars if he fails to make payments.

Yeeaaah, the story can 'devolop' but BIg Brother is watching...
Matter of fact, has anyone actually seen that kid?
You can't put Nas in jail..... Niggers will go ape. And apart from that, his only kid is Destiny, had by some Carmen b****!!
Well, he married her! So, yes she is entitled to whatever incomes that he receives! And yes, if he doesn't pay his child support, he deserved to be locked up if he is not able to pay what societies have had order him todo! No kids are asked to be born therefore gotta take care of em mayne... And these celebrities be killin me! They think just because they make money, the laws doesn't apply to them!!
Well, its cheaper to keep her! I don't know their divorce situation but its his responsibility to continue to make sure she has the same lifestyle she had while they were married! Obvisously the judge felt she was not the reason the marriage ended. The spousal support pays for the mortgage, hazard insurance on the property and taxes to the City they live in, also medical expenses... You never know her mortgage could be $10,000.00 a month. This was not Kelis's boyfriend it was her husband and when you get married it legal makes you responsible for eachother finanically. Nas will not have to pay spousal support forever. Once she gets on her feet they will make adjustments. He was obviously the sol provider!
Is this what u want Kelis? To have the father of your son locked up? How is that gonna help you? This man is willing to participate in growth of the child but your greed for money is messing that up. Punishing him is hurting your son .I'm telling you b*tches these days are nothing but selfish dumb b*tches.
