Swizz Beatz Owes $2.2 Million to IRS, New York State

'Money in the Bank' producer Swizz Beatz owes Uncle Sam some serious dough.

According to reports, Swizz, who recently announced his engagement to a visibly pregnant Alicia Keys, has been hit with an IRS lien for $652,787 for unpaid 2008 income tax.

This is not the first time the Ruff Ryder producer has been in tax trouble. Over the past four years, several liens have been filed against Swizz and his estranged ex-wife Mashonda, amounting to a grand total of $2.2 Million owed. In Rockland County, N.Y., a $556,986 lien was filed against them in 2008, followed by a $162,300 tax warrant in 2009. Back in 2006, a similar lien was filed against the former couple in Somerset County, N.J., to the tune of $842,645.

"We have been discussing the issue with the government for years and are currently negotiating an amicable resolution of the dispute," said Swizz's attorney.

LOL! Alecia KARMA came faster than the posts on a different site of your impending birth with this clown's child. You started messing with a married man in 2007 (this by his own people) so since he's your baby daddy, PAY HIS FRIGGIN IRS BILL. NY NEEDS THE MONEY!!!! Can you imagine what he's giving his other baby momma? AND SHE'S STILL HIS WIFE!!!!

Women can be sooo very blind to love or what they think is love. Cleary this man has a free ride on the money train! We all wake up at some pont. She will be raising this baby on her own sooner then later.

He is ugly! Alicia Keys love is really blind, ain't that the truth. Luckily, you are rich and don't need to be engaged to this low life.

"Estranged ex-wife" the article says. Well, which is it? Estranged or ex? Can't be both!

BTW, good luck trying to beat the IRS out of taxes you owe... you're gonna need it. Why don't you just pay them like every other (legal) American does?
