I'm sure that's why she's on tour with Nas now. Tour $$ > record $

It happens. When you have people supposedly handling your financial affairs and then a divorce screws up your books and what you can and cannot report....
 
Let the Wesl..... Oh, never mind. Too late.

I swear, the hypocrisy on this board sometimes....
 
Similar to R. Kelly, these musicians make more money than they know what to do with. They make so much they rely or trust other folks to handle their money. Which is understandable as they are constantly working and may not have the time to keep track and number crunch their expenses. All they want to know is can they afford the things they want.

Hell, many get caught up with purchases of multimillion dollar homes they can’t keep up after several years.

I’m not saying it’s easy, but the IRS is just nothing to fuck with.
 
I doubt it. Mary J should be able to write a million dollar check to avoid lock up. If this chick can't put her hands on a million to stay out of an orange jump suit her problems are bigger than taxes!
You'ed be shock to find out how many artist/entertainers can't pull a stunt like that in 2019,a bad sign for an artist that's been in the game 20+ and continually touring year after year;You can look at it two way's,it is a gift(their reaping what they put in) and or a curse (they have to do it to keep the lights on).

Things that make you go Hmmmm!

1.Is Rkelly in jail reading his fan mail?
2.Jermain Dupri said he owed back taxes because he didn't finish high school
3.Ron Isley was taking his brother's Social Security checks,I wonder was that all he was taking from Earnest,after all these years?
4.Floyd Mayweather said he did a 1000 pushups in jail a day,I wonder did he attempt to defeat one motherfucking book when he was inside?

I was watching the New Edition Story yesterday and one part was talking about when Ricky Bell facing money issues. His wife asked him what he was going to do and he said “all I know how to do is sing and dance. What Fortune 500 company is going to higher that?”

Folks do what got them their money. Outside of that, very few know how to become well rounded in other areas.

Have to pay one's taxes to ensure No More Drama. All That I Can Say is that the IRS doesn't play 25/8. Love is All We Need is the motto I live by, but my family's done me wrong over time. It became a Family Affair here in Canada with the CRA, aka - Canada Revenue Agency. I got everything paid off though and thankfully there are no more Rainy Dayz. It was definitely a rough stretch though when I was in the Thick of It. Just thought I'd Share My World and my $0.02.

dayum good homie ..I think you did a chronical Mary J past
 
Let's be clear, there are several steps and options involved before you get to the point of going to jail.

In Wesley's case, he made the mistake of trying to hide out by doing an extended shoot out of country. Only to come back and tell the IRS why he didn't owe the money. He refused to pay and he showed his ass in court. I don't know if they confiscated any of his possessions to help cover the debt.
 
I'm sure that's why she's on tour with Nas now. Tour $$ > record $

If you owe a million in taxes it means it was a good year, I doubt she is struggling.
