Lil Wayne Ordered to Pay Over $5 Million to IRS

By Boombox Editors Posted Apr 4th 2011 01:05PM

Lil Wayne is in trouble with the government yet again. Though the Young Money boss recently paid off a $1.13 million tax lien in Dade County, Fla., in November 2010, he has reportedly been hit with another IRS bill, this time for a whopping $5,610,034.

The IRS has been hounding Wayne for unpaid income taxes for years, filing a lien against the rapper back in 2008, going after his One Family Foundation charity in June 2010, for the years 2004, 2005 and 2007. Now the government is seeking more than $5.6 million for income earned during the years 2008 and 2009.

According to the new lien, Wayne owes $3,335,077.95 for revenue earned in the year 2008, and $2,258,956.04 for 2009. The address listed on the lien, which can be viewed here, is Weezy's $12.9 million, 15,101-square-foot mansion on a private Miami island, which is apparently for sale.

Wayne is currently listed as a self-employed small business owner. His long awaited new album, 'Tha Carter IV,' hits stores May 16.

They ought to fine him an extra five million for shouting bad poetry. As for his "long awaited new album", I think not.

Hey, it's a matter of time before he's in the slammer with his cronies anyway.

WHAT A SHOCKER!!! Another rapper (someone who can rhyme like my 5 year old) that owes taxes?? I can't believe it. Didn't this guy just get out of prison (another shocker...) The arrogance and self-entitlement is just sickening in some of these "people."

Lil wayne should hire me as a consultant and let me help him form a real team. He should never have to pay that kind of money if he knows what he is doing.

By Asilee

They need to find him for being such a bad rapper.
