The past few years have been filled with highs and lows for DMX. Prison stints and rehab have made up a large chunk of his life throughout the 2010s but following his recent arrest, he’s been back in the limelight as fans await his comeback album.

Unfortunately, he’s facing new legal and financial trouble. Bossip reports that the State Of New York filed a tax warrant against X for back taxes amounting to nearly a quarter-million dollars. The rapper reportedly is in the hole for $224,845 in state income taxes. His attorney, Murray Richman, said that they expected New York state would file a lien against DMX. However, he didn’t share any details surrounding the actual scenario.

“Earl is doing really well,” Richman told the website. “He’s been working on a documentary. While everybody has been down, he’s been working in Tennessee… He’s a terrific guy, love him.”

DMX faced issues with taxes in the past that have resulted in his incarceration. He previously spent a year in prison after he was convicted of tax fraud. Feds claimed that he intentionally dodged paying federal income taxes that amounted to about $2.2M.

Hopefully, this entire thing gets sorted out without DMX having to go back to jail. 

Rick Ross has settled the score with the IRS who were chasing him down over a million and a half in back taxes. According to The Blast, Rick Ross has coughed up $1,548,401.58 in back taxes stemming from a Federal Tax lien issued in Dec. 2018. The IRS released the tax lien on Feb. 24th after the rapper finally settled the debt.

The total amount owed was based on two separate debts from 2014 and 2016. The rapper was owing $254,341 for 2014 and $1,294,059.88 for 2016. Thankfully, his assets and property won’t be touched by the IRS anymore after he paid off the bill in its entirety which should be a sigh of relief for him, given the current climate of the economy right now. 

Rick Ross has a history of owing money in back taxes. In October 2018, for example, the IRS accused him of owing $1,147,141.77 in taxes between 2013 and 2014. Prior to that, he was hit with a Federal Tax Lien for $4.6M in taxes. 

Clearly, things are still working in Rick Ross favor these days. Even after coughing up over a million and a half dollars in back taxes, he’s still flexing some big boy vehicles. Earlier today, the rapper hit the ‘Gram to flaunt his brand new 2020 Maybach 650 which runs for over $200K.

Rozay clearly isn’t hurting for cash these days.
