Music News] Nas faces IRS too!!
01 March 2010
Nas’ troubles with the Internal Revenue Service have reached a new level, with the Queensbridge rapper’s debt amounting to more than $3 million.
According to court documents, Nas owes $3,365,671.26, an increase from the $2,584,206.31 lien IRS filed last week against him.
Nas isn’t the only rapper to encounter trouble with the IRS. Just last week, the organization revealed Ruff Ryders affiliate Eve’s tax delinquency with state and federal taxes, which amounted to more than $357,000.
On Jan. 19, the organization filed a $598,309 lien against fellow rhymesayer Snoop Dogg and his wife with the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds, the Detroit News reports. Other entertainers sought by the IRS include singer El DeBarge, who owes $354,000 in delinquent federal taxes and Boyz N the Hood actor Morris Chestnut, whose delinquent federal tax debt comes to more than $215,800.
In addition to tax woes, Nas is working to resurrect his relationship with singer Kelis. Sources for TMZ.com state the rapper has voiced his desire to reunite with ex-wife via a series of e-mails that detail where the pair can meet face to face.
The revelation is the latest development in the continuing saga surrounding the former couple. Last week, a judge ordered Nas to pay $200,000 in back child and spousal support to Kelis. The couple, who has one son, was married four years before Kelis filed for divorce in 2009.
[Music News] Nas faces Jail Time
22 February 2010
Nas has pleaded not guilty to a contempt filing from ex-wife Kelis alleging that he owes over $200,000 in child and spousal support.
The proceedings happened this morning (Feb. 19), in response to Kelis’ lawyer filing the motion last month.
In December, Kelis was awarded over $50,000 per month in spousal and child support on the grounds of Nas’ reported annual gross income of $4 million, and her dependence on him for financial stability.
Kelis filed for divorce last April while pregnant with their son, citing irreconcilable differences. The child, named Knight, was born in July, with Nas being refused entry into the delivery room due to intoxication.
Although the split was rumored to be due to infidelity, both parties remained silent on the situation until earlier this month, when a leaked version of the Nas/Damian Marley song “Strong Will Continue” contained lyrics addressing the failed union.
“How in the hell am I supposed to stay comfy /When I pay child support, alimony monthly?...So I've stuck with some married women so fine/Cheating while their husband rushing on the 40-yard line / Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time."
According to TMZ.com, the contempt hearing has been scheduled for March 10. If found guilty, Nas will face jail time.
