I'm focused man! My first day back work from my vacation and I'm already counting down the days til the next one. The good thing about being back at work is that I have plenty of time to post. So I'm sure you've heard about the whole Nas/ Kelis situation by now. ( side note- By now the observant people have noticed that Tha King isn't referring to himself in the 3rd person today. It gets a bit corny after a while so I decided to give a rest for a few posts.) Well for those of you that have been living under a rock Nas has been ordered by whoever the hell decides this stuff that he is to pay Kelis 40,000 a month in alimony, that in addition to the 5,000 in medical fees he had to pay during the birth of their son, Knight ( Of all the dumbass names.)
Where the hell did this man go wrong? He's paying more in support than both 50 Cent and Diddy who both make quite a bit more than he does. Homeboy let that milkshake get his nose wide open and they didn't sign that pre-nup. Love is love and its a beautiful thing but nothing in life is promised. In the event of a divorce, which I don't believe in, both parties should leave with what they came with. The problem is, a lot of women get offended when asked to sign one. Chicks need to get over it. They claim that by asking, the man isn't showing any faith in the relationship lasting, but bu you refusing your not showing any faith either. Somebody is gonna have to give in. Why should an average, working man have to give up a percentage of his earnings to ensure that his ex is living comfortably? What if the marriage ended because she was unfaithful? Is that fair?
So to those reading (which is nearly 100% female, gotta get some more dudes reading, ladies tell your friends!) When Mr right pops the question then pops out that paper for you to sign, will you? Do you feel like it in cheapens the marriage in some way?
I have no issue signing a pre-nup, after all, I would be protecting my assets as well. A pre-nup is an opportunity for you to protect yourself financially, why wouldn’t you want that opportunity.
ReplyDeleteWith the Nas and kelis divorce he wasn’t following court rulings, I think that played a huge role in the settlement. Not to mention he was in QB when she was giving birth.
I agree with judybloom, I have no problem signing a prenup agreement. Before I get married I am the one that is paying my bills and living a life that is comfortable for me. When I get married it is the same thing except with a little more cash...lol But when I get divorce I don't want to my ex to feel that he is in control because he is still supporting me.
ReplyDeleteIf a woman is able to support herself before and during the marriage then she should be able to support herself after the marriage
If my man now was to ever ask me to sign a pre nub I wouldn't and that probably be the end of our relationship. To me it will be like a slap in the face after all that we been through when we had no money....but if I were to meet a guy that had lots of money already I'll sign and pocket as much of his money as I can while the marriage is still in full effect lol....
ReplyDeleteAs far as Nas not getting one he probably really loved her and didn't think they were ever gonna break up...and I must side with the king by agreeing that knight is the most ridiculous name to give a child as a birth name
i didnt even know they broke up ... that a damn shame . Go out wit what you came in with what if i get rich and my ex wants my money i sure as hell aint payin this grown man money so he could ball out of control.
ReplyDeleteI would have no problem signing a pre-nup...The fact of the matter is that pre-nup is not only for the woman to sign...man as well sign pre-nups...the real question is are men man enough to accept the fact that women can be more successful then them and they would be asked to sign a pre-nup?...I agree with the King marriage is a forever thing that shouldnt be taken lightly...vows say till death do us part...words that people should live by! the pre-nup doesnt only protect financially but it protects the children as well as other assets...
ReplyDeleteSigning pre-nups is not a big deal because i believe that you should already come in a relationship with something to offer and not depending on a man/woman to take care of you...Marriage is a partnership and thats when things are shared but if you wanna go your separate then take what you brought into the relationship because the partnership is no longer....
If I was to ask me to sign a pre-nup I would do but only if it looks right.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people don't know that with some pre-nups you can customize it to the likings of both parties. It doesn't have to just say he/she can't get shit of mine in the event of us parting. You can customize it to say he/she can have this amount of money (if I do become rich at some point during our marriage) in the event of us parting. That's what a lot of people don't know. But anyway before you get married make sure that the person you say you love really loves you and vice versa, bcuz divorces cost more than a marriage.
KELIS POSTED ON SOME BLOG OR WHATEVER THAT CHEATING MARRIED MEN WERE B/S AND THAT WOMEN WHO CHEATED WITH MARRIED MEN WERE EVEN WORSE. SHE DIDN'T SAY IF NAS GOT CAUGHT OUT THERE, MY GUESS IS HE DID. SORRY TO SAY LADIES EVERY PREGNANT WOMEN IS NOT ATTRACTIVE. BET NEWS REPORTED HE THREW A DRINK IN HER FACE, SHE PROBABLY TOLD HIM THIS WAS (THE TAKE OVER.) AS FAR AS THE PRE-NUP, I AM BROKE AS HELL AND THAT IS WHY I AM TYPING AT THIS HOUR OF THE DAY, SO IT WOULD NOT MATTER. I GUESS IF I HAD JAY-Z MONEY HELL YEAH SHE HAS TO SIGN IT.
