Rapper Nas was banned from witnessing the birth of his baby boy with Kelis because he was too drunk, according to a report.

The Milkshake hitmaker went into labor on Tuesday morning, and was admitted to a New York hospital.

Her former partner turned up at the clinic in the early hours of Wednesday morning and attempted to go to Kelis’ bedside – but staff turned him away, reportedly because he was under the influence of alcohol.

The hip-hop star had been performing in New York earlier in the night, where he announced to fans in the crowd that he was drunk on champagne, according to TMZ.com.

However, Nas is refusing to let the dismissal dampen his celebrations, as he announced his happy news in a video posted online on Tuesday.

In the clip, Nas tells fans: “My son is (sic) born today, so shout-out to my son, Knight. That’s what I named the young God, Knight. Y’all heard it first.”

The former couple is in the middle of divorce proceedings and were due to appear in court on Tuesday to negotiate the terms of their marriage split. However, they were both excused by court officials in light of the baby’s birth.

The baby will be Nas’ second child – he also has a teenage daughter, Destiny, from a previous relationship.
