What About Working for a Living?

It doesn’t seem to occur to people to get a damn job. First Kelis demands (and wins) tens of thousands of dollars per month in child support from Nas, now Big Pun’s widow is crying broke and claiming she and her children are living in a shelter. Coming from a single parent home, I know firsthand the plight of a single mom. I watched my mother struggle sometimes to take care of myself and my little sister. Millions of women make ends meet for their for their families on far less money than these women. These chicks need a major reality check.  

In Kelis’s case, she’s taken care of. She’s set. Her child support award gives her more than enough money to take care of herself and her baby. I agree that Nas needs to support his child, but $40,000 a month? That’s more than some people make in a year. Yes, I’m hating. Maybe I should go the rapper baby mama route instead of having a career.  Fuck me for earning an honest living, that’s my bad. I know when you become accustomed to living a certain lifestyle you can’t go back from that. I live in California, a place where such ideals are mandated under community property law. If you marry a rich dude in Cali with no prenup, be prepared to come up! But I digress. 

Kelis has her own money, it just seems selfish for her to hit Nas’s pockets like that. She had a successful career before she married him.  I just have a difficult time believing it costs $40,000 a month to raise a child. I think she could get by on $10k-$15k. Is Nas even balling like that? Even Diddy was ordered to pay his BM $30,000 in child support. He makes way more money than Nas. All Nas does is rap, he isn’t the most diverse hip hop artist when it comes to multiple income streams. This is the exact reason men tend to drag their feet on committing and marrying women, because if they link up with the wrong one, it’s financially detrimental.

As far as Big Pun’s widow, Liza Rios, how come she just doesn’t get a job? She’s crying broke, talking about how that $160,000 from Pun’s publishing went through her fingers like water. It’s possible that Pun’s legacy wasn’t worth as much money as she thought. He could have gotten a bad deal from the record label. Clearly I don’t know her and what she’s gone through, but why not get a job? She should have used some of that money to get some skills so she can take care of her family. Or hell, find another husband to take care of you. Anything. A woman should never be broke, whether you work, hustle, or do whatever you have to do to support yourself and your children. 

I know Kelis doesn’t give a shit about what I say, because she’s obviously making waaaay more money than I will likely see in a long ass time. And Mrs. Rios would prolly shank me in the streets for my words. But it doesn’t change the fact that these women seem like shiftless lazy chicks who have an aversion to working.
