RAPPER FACES TAX CHARGES
August 16, 2005
It doesn't figure that rappers would be particularly conscientious taxpayers:
Louisiana authorities issued a statement that the rapper Mystikal could face more jail time for failing to file taxes for two consecutive years. David Dugas, the U.S. Attorney of Baton Rouge, and Michael Nelson, a Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans IRS field office reported that Mystikal, born name Michael Tyler, could face up to one year prison for each of the two years that have gone unpaid.
Jail time may actually be a good career move in Mystikal's business, but I wonder if tax charges carry the same cachet among hip-hop fans as, say, assault, murder or drug charges?
