Nas and Kelis

Kelis skipped out on court yesterday due to an emergency: she went into labor! The 29-year-old singer gave birth to a baby boy named Knight Tuesday (Jul 21), as announced by her estranged husband Nas, who we hear wasn’t even allowed in the delivery room!

Nas’ lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan stated that Nas rushed to the hospital to witness Kelis deliver his first son. A source close to Nas told AllHipHop.com that the Queen’s rapper missed the actual child birth.

“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.”
