Rapper Method Man In Trouble With The Tax Man
Rapper Method Man, aka Clifford Smith, should have come up with a better method for paying his taxes. Like ummm.. I don't.... like how about paying them?
Former Wu-Tang Clan member was busted for not paying over thirty grand that he owes in back taxes and they just caught up with him. If convicted he can face four years in jail.
Method was in a comedy sitcom called Redman and Method Man back in 2004, which was about two black rappers living in an affluent white neighbourhood. I happened to catch an episode, and it was one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Just not funny at all.
It has been said that Method and Redman did not have enough creative control over the show and they butted heads with Fox which caused the show to go into hiatus. But this show needed a LOT more funny and hasn't been seen again. Of course Method claims that the show is on a "long hiatus", *snicker* I think we can safely say it is gone forever.
Perhaps Method was a little over zealous about the shows success and went on one too many shopping sprees. And this isn't the first time trouble has come a knockin'.
He was busted back in 2007 in New York City for possession of marijuana , and now with a repossessed Linclon Navigator last year, Method better straighten out his sh*t.
Feud alert! Method Man and Uncle Sam just don't see eye to eye.The Grammy-winning rapper and former Wu-Tang Clan man was arrested today on felony charges of skipping out on $32,799 in taxes from 2004 to 2007. The star, also known as 38-year-old Clifford Smith, was immediately arraigned and released on his own recognizance.
Let's not forget that this isn't his first time in hot water for not forking over the funds.
In 2008, his Lincoln Navigator was repossessed for owing the government. His explanation for this occurrence, however, was a bit hazy (and you should take that literally).
