There’s a damn good reason Kelis is skipping out on today’s scheduled court date to fight Nas for child support and baby and prenatal expenses — she’s giving birth right now!!!

The singer is currently in labor, about to deliver a brand new baby boy.

The two were scheduled to battle over expenses. She says he’s paid nothing. Nas claims he’s paid some.

Nas’ lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, just told us Nas is in New York for the birth of the baby and he is now “rushing to the hospital to be with her.”

CONGRADULATIONS!!
