According to Mark Vincent Kaplan, a lawyer for Nas, the rapper was not “allowed to be present” for the birth of his son. Nas’ lawyer claims that the rapper rushed to the hospital yesterday morning to be with his estranged wife:
“Nas is in New York City today, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his son. It was his intention to be there for the birth, but unfortunately he has not been allowed to be present,” a source close to the rapper told AllHipHop.com. “While this is clearly heartbreaking to him, Nas continues to offer his support and love to his new baby boy and his mother.”
Nas and Kelis were due in court yesterday(July 21) in regards to their pending divorce.

That’s sad….I don’t know all that’s going on between them, but no matter what, I think he should have been allowed to see his son come into the world. Hopefully that same mentality won’t cross over into the relationship between father and son.

Why did they wait up into the last minute to have a baby, just to bring him into their mess? Regardless, of what they broke up for, I read they were having problems before she became pregnant & this was the last attempt to save the marriage. May be a lie or some truth to it. Whatever the case, it was immature to bring a child into their mess.
I’m disappointed in both of them. Sit down somewhere & act like adults at least for the child’s sake. What’s done is done & over with. Can’t go back & change who cheated on who or none of that. Get over it & raise that baby like two adults! Stop letting all your business out in the media trying to make one or the other look bad. Because at the moment, both look bad & I had luv for them. At this point, I’m not to sure.

Im not goin to have a opinion on this one until we hear it from them out of there mouths or a statement or something. They reported this right after TMZ said he wasnt even there yet.

If this is true, it’s wrong. Regardless how Kelis feels towards Nas, he is the baby’s father. I hate it when women keep children away from their fathers and then expect them to send support every month. This is very sad and unfortunate situation.

Couldn’t have said it better myself…smdh

we don’t know the situation between the both. When a woman is giving birth the last thing she cares to see is a man that did her wrong. The pain of labor is enough. My baby daddy did me wrong and was present for the birth and telling you the truth I wanted to kill him. Just the sight of him made me sick. If i could of did it all over again he would not be present. Good for you Kelis. A woman in power

I agree mostly…but I kind of understand Kelis of not wanting to have Nas with her in there….She gave birth…which is…with the exception of the second the little bundle comes out is painfull and very emotional….I could understand that she wouldn´t have felt comfortable with him in there….
I hope they will settle things out for the child, so both parents will be there for Knight…I am sure they will, tho.
congrats to them

Nas made no attempt to help. He poped up in the bahamas with maxwell and all over the place while she begged for money. Now he should be allowed to do what he wants when it fits his needs. I hope she pulls a bridget on him . The actress who had tom bradys baby gave her son her last name. NAME THE BABY AFTER YOU AND GIVE HIM YOUR LAST NAME.

soooo wrong

and all this does is hurt the baby. she needs to stop that because karma is not very friendly. she wasnt shy to ask for 80 grand a month from him then she shouldnt be shy about letting him be in the room. what way to stick it to him. his first son and he isnt allowed in the room? she couldnt put aside her own agenda for one day? this is why black men and the like continue to look at us as bitter revengeful women. this is sickening and heartbreaking because when the child asks where you there, he will be hurt by the answer.
when i was born, my parents were already seperated. my father was doing his thing and my mom got tired of it. but one day they tried to get back together and boom here i was. but it didnt last long they were only together for a week before he went back to his ways of cheating. he moved out but when it was time for me to come into this world, both of my parents where there because the bigger picture was me not them and the BS the child was here and its time to be adults. i guess this is a different era( my parents were 29-31 in 1979) and they were raised different than some of these people today( with no values or common sense)

Bad karma for her? I don’t think so! That’s bad karma for him, he was the unfaithful one

Has this been verfified? I’ve seen reports that both cheated.

Giving birth is the most beautiful moment in a womens life, why would she want someone there who she does not have the same feelings for any more? he lost that right when he left the marriage. I’m sure the hospital had a very nice waiting room.

Let’s not throw stones–apparently your dad wasn’t rasied with values either, considering he was a cheater.

Just because someone cheated does not mean that they were not raised with values.

I think if this is true it is ok! It does not hurt the baby in any way and no one said she intends to keep the child from him now that he is born. If I were in labor with a man’s child who had hurt me badly or refused to help me with the pre-baby expenses, ten I would be upset too and who needs that energy in the room when you are giving birth. I would want people there who love me and will console me

I aggree with you Sasha 100%!!!!!!

Tanisha,
I am sory but the scenario you descibed doesn’t sound like your father had a lot of common sense! He cheated a week after you were born and you suggest this is the way people should be raised? No thanks!!

That’s not what she said. She said one week after they got back together not one week after she was born. She said they weren’t together when she was born but they were adult enough to be there for their child.
I am a single mother and my child’s father and I haven’t had the greatest relationship. However that is our relationship. It has nothing to do with the relationship he has with his child. We have way to many men who choose not to be involved. I disagree with the act of pushing fathers away due to the issues that we as women have with them. Hopefully Kelis actions will go no further than the delivery room. I hope and pray that she allows him to be involved with the child if he chooses to be. Now we don’t know exactly what Kelis and Nas situation is but if he showed up to the hospital she could have at least let him in for the birth. She didn’t have to have him in the room for the whole labor but at least for the actual birth. But that is just my opinion.

kelis wrong for that, i dont care how she feels towards him, thats HIS son and he had a right to be there…
im sorry but nas is so attractive and better than her imo
Flag this
So that’s your reasoning because he is attractive and better? Grow up! That what’s wrong with black people today, pure ego drives the whole race of people.
Flag this
if you read my first statement, then you would understand my reasoning…..now what’s the problem wit black folks again?
Flag this
EGO! Making a judgement purely on looks, fashion or money. This is what is wrong with the black race. This mentality is old, but blacks are the only ones still governed by it and blacks are at the bottom as people, some make it to the top, but as a race black people are at the bottom. Learn true history get off the ego.
Flag this
no the problem with SOME black people is they can’t comprehend, nas had a right to see HIS son being born, i think kelis is a bird no matter how rich or how she dresses…now if you have such a problem with the black race then you can dismiss yourself to tmz

A man does not have to be in the delivery room to be apart of his child’s life.

I wish them the best and hope they do whats best for the baby. Congrats on the baby boy!

We can only speculate and make assumptions about these two. But, one thing is certain SOMETHING happened to cause all of this hostility. She blogged about his alleged affair while she was pregnant and I’m sorry I wouldn’t want him in the delivery room with me either if he couldn’t remain faithful to me during such a critical and needy time for a woman and that’s bearing HIS child! I do agree that she is being vengeful and that’s not cool. Hope they can learn to be civil for the baby.
Flag this
I am sure she had her reasons for not allowing him in. He did cheat after all, he knew the rules. I don’t feel bad for him at all, the decision is hers to make, the baby is coming out of her body it’s her decision. She made a strong decision. Men turn women into strong women when they are unfaithful dogs.
Flag this
I was under the impression that she also had an affair before she concieved her baby and that she also had a sex tape coming out and her partner is not Nas. It could very well all be lies just as the rumors about Nas cheating could also be lies. Regardless, she was very petty about not letting him in the room.

Janelle, I heard the same thing and couldn’t believe it. Still he should have been allowed to see his son. She can’t stop him in the future, courts will give him visitation rights. The way he rushed up to the hospital, I know that man have bought that baby plenty of stuff. It’s probaly for his home when the baby comes over. Where is Kelis money? To be honest, Nas is only responsible for baby boy and not Kelis. Regardless, I know that is one handsome little fella……congrats to them both.

The same thing happened with the actress on Gossip Girl Helen Rutherford. Helen and her husband are in the middle divorce and he was not allowed to be in the delivery room. A delivery room should be stress free, she did not need the negative energy.
P.S All she did was keep the father out of the delivery room not out of the baby’s life. Lets not villify her we dont know what’s up.

all i kno, if i was having a baby i’m not having no one in the room who’s not being positive towards me, its HER giving birth at the end of the day its not the easiest of things to da at the best of times

He can’t be there for the birth, but I bet when it comes to money, he is told when, where, and how much.

Some one in a earlier comment said they were already having problems and thought a kid would help. IF true when will a woman realize having a baby does not change or keep a man. Also we dont have any proof that Nas cheated other than what Kelis has twittered about. But there are tapes out now of her porno with the tattoos she had while being with Nas and the man is not Nas.I respect Nas for not feeding in to Kelis childish ways and putting there buisness out there lord knows what really went on in closed doors. We dont know if Nas never gave Kelis anything he probably bought the baby things but it wasnt the expensive things she wanted. Its sad she didnt want him there she needed to put her feeling to the side. Alot of women on her say i wouldnt have had him in there. trust and believe when them contractions come you need someone regardless of what the circumstances are to encourage you to keep pushing. And its his first son at that that is everyman dream. she needs to grow up.
At first you guys were bashing him yesterday because he wasnt there now that he wasnt let in he still gets bash. so sad that he cant win.

I think that it is messed up that she didn’t allow him to join her in that special moment. She should be thankful that he was there a lot of men aren’t.

Wasn’t any dayum stress, Kelis is just being nasty and what goes around, comes around. Hell it wasn’t Nas in the porno videos butt naked, so why is she mad? I left my husband when he cheated on me, but does that give me the right to keep him out of his son’s life? Not to invite him to any pta meetings,sports games,spending time with him in general. I can’t stand him nor the woman he is with now, yet I’m the betta woman. My son have nothing to do with our problems and his father loves and take very good care of him. So yes Kelis was being very selfish, she wasn’t under stress when she was singing that nasty azz song.

I agree with JMP. Thank you for the comment! It should be a crime that many men are treated secondly to the women just because of all the “BAD” non caring men who have disappeared out of the woman and child’s life.
NAS should have been able to see his son born! I don’t get these women with all of the demands of money and visitation. I am a woman with two children who has seen the side of a dead beat dad and I have a brother who is fighting like crazy for the rights to his 4-year-old son who’s mother constantly lies when she goes to court. It’s amazing what the courts will believe from the woman who can lie, but they tell the man to “prove” she’s lying. We all know things happen in relationships and many women are bitter after a break-up so they use the children against the father. Every situation is different.
Just because a man does not want to be with a woman does not mean he would not make a great father. There is a difference between dealing with an adult and dealing with an innocent child. Many people do not take the time to distinguish between the differences. Bitter women move on! Men “fight” for your rights to “your” children too!!!

wow that’s shady, but having someone you don’t like in the room when you giving birth may be bad energy for the baby lol, I don’t know i just pulled that one out my butt

All I can say is that Kelis is a selfish and evil B**** for not allowing Nas to witness the birth of his son.

According to TMZ… After a performance in NY last night — where he told fans he was hammered off champagne — Nas tried to roll by Kelis’ hospital room around 1 AM this morning. But we’re told Nas was turned away because he was too wasted.
Would you want your drunk ex in the delivery room with you?

this is old cause Kelis gave birth already and their son name is Knight

Why are they are trying to try a
SMEAR campaign against Kelis?
How is She going to physically bar or ban Nas from
the delivery when Kelis was the one busy in Labor
trying to deliver a child?
Nas was out drinking with his Boys a whole day
before the birth.
Most of the reports that I’m reading are saying
He was super drunk on Tuesday night so? the Hospital did
not let him enter.
The Hospital Personnel has a Right to
turn away Drunks for Kelis’s & the baby’s safety.
Nas is known to be verbally abusive with her in the past.
It’s one of the reasons she filed for a divorce from him!
What if wanted to fight her in the delivery room
while She was trying to deliver the baby?
They have a right to protect their Patients.
I’ve also read that
Kelis had their child on Wednesday night
not on Tuesday night.

There lots of Problems in this relationship
obviously, but why are people rushing to
Blame Kelis who was busy
trying to give birth to her child?
