Nas -- Half the Man He Used to Be





I bet he wished he would of had that prenup on deck now.

After an eternity of legal war, the marriage between rapper Nas and singer Kelis is officially over . TMZ obtained legal docs, filed last friday in L.A. County Superior Court, which show that the marriage has been terminated -- but there were still a few more nasty battles to fight ... like child custody and spousal support.

Currently, Nas claims he can't afford to pay Kelis the support ordered by the court. A court ordered Nas last month to pay more than $87,000 in back spousal and child support. The judge also ordered Nas to pay Kelis $10,000 a month in spousal support to stay current. It's unclear how much Nas is required yet to pay in monthly child support. Nas says in the new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... the judge predicated the order on Nas making $152,031 a month, but the rapper says he makes "substantially less than that amount." Nas' lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan , proposed the judge to take another look at the damage to Nas' wallet.

With That Done Nas just had his child and spousal support obligations sliced in half, even through he still has to pay ex-wife Kelis a pretty penny ... TMZ has learned. According to legal docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Nas must now pay a tad over $5,000 a month in child support and $20,000 a month in spousal support. It sounds like a lot, but Nas was paying twice that until he convinced the judge the bad economy has even hit the rap biz hard. So this month, Nas pockets an extra $25k for himself. One love
