Tails0nE Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Grammy-winning rapper Method Man has been arrested in New York City on felony charges for failing to pay his taxes. The 38-year-old rapper turned himself in Monday morning. Authorities say he failed to pay nearly $33,000 in taxes through 2004 and 2007. He is being charged with repeated failure to file a return and failure to pay taxes. Method Man, whose real name is Clifford Smith, could face up to four years in prison. He won a Grammy in 1995 for best rap performance by a group or duo with Mary J. Blige for "I'll Be There For You/You're All That I Need." He is also a member of the group Wu-Tang Clan. Method Man is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Staten Island Criminal Court. haha fucked up... discuss.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he skipped 2 years of not paying taxes and IRS hasn't come to his house, he should have been straight for another couple of years or so. He could have moved to some 3rd world country.

Realism Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Probably has to do with the fact he smokes enough to choke an elephant. I'd imagine he had an "I'll do it later" attitude towards it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'HSAMSnoytiC' Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 shitty deal. i feel for the pre-megadeal rappers. ie:wutang etc that paved the way but never got to cash cheques like the bling area has. lame. if that was me in his position i woulda set up some kinda internet pledge thing where people could donate to my cause. flip the script with some humour and generate publicity while working on a new album. then once the $33k was met, which wouldnt take long. or even just get an advance from a/some homie(s) and/or record label drop the album and just advertise it as publicly funded. then you could put on the inside of the album cover all the names of the people who donated. turn a nega, into a posa. pretty fuckin easily actually. shit, even i woulda tossed in a couple chips for mef. marketing people marketiiing.
