This is becoming a trend in the music industry, and not the kind of trend that you would like to follow. Seems like the taxman has caught up with the former B2K star, as he “got served” with tax liens in the amount of $35,210.00, $25,660.00, and $49,715.00.
He actually filed for bankruptcy back in January, but the case was thrown out days later. According to records, he owes income taxes from 2003, 2005, and 2006. The address on the liens is his $1.5 million home in Ladera Ranch, Calif., that was featured on MTV Cribs.

What seems to be the most accepted and welcomed counterpart to Hip-Hop is the beloved genre of R&B. Over the years, this union often created the ultimate blend of edge and soul showing that Hip-Hop could evolve and expand while reaching new depths and a broader range of listeners.
Songs like Method Man and Mary J. Blige’s famed “You’re All I Need”, Nas and Lauryn Hill’s “If I Ruled The World”, and The Roots and Erykah Badu’s ‘You Got Me” are all prime examples of how the art of this particular collaboration could help shape an important sound and staple in Hip-Hop. However, some hook-ups come along every now and then to make you wonder why the hell they ever happened in the first place. It has to be a motive behind it, it just has to. Right? Of course, walk with me.
