Lil Wayne Pays Off Million Dollar Tax Debt

While other rappers just can't seem to stay out of trouble with Uncle Sam, Lil Wayne is doing the opposite. The Young Money CEO, reportedly paid off his over $1.13 million tax lien originally filed in June of last year. According to the documents, Weezy cleared up the debt last November, and is listed as a self-employed small business owner in Miami.

Last year, the IRS filed a $1,138,760 million dollar lien in Dade County, Fla., against the New Orleans native's charity One Family Foundation. Wayne was accused of skipping out on taxes in 2004, 2005 and 2007. Unfortunately, Wayne is no stranger to failing to pay taxes, in 2008 the IRS filed a $977,840 lien against the 28-year-old, which he paid off that same year.

Now that his finances are back in order, the rapper can continue to focus his energy on his career. Wayne is said to be releasing his 'The Carter IV' album sometime this year and will head out on his I Am Still Music tour on March 18. Fans have already showed up in droves to support his official return to the stage selling out one venue in as little as 30 minutes.

I am a black female over fifty, and so I have been hearing rap for a long time, longer than I care to say, I hate it, it is probably the most stupid music you can listen to. All of it is negative, putting black people down. Lil Wayne, just said something the other week, about he would not be cohabitating with dark skin females because he wants his children to have good hair. If someone says something that stupid, then you don't have to wonder how stupid his songs are. And what is this title I am not a human being? Just damn stupid.

Guys...this is "The Boombox". You cannot go on here thinking it'll be talking about punk or jazz music. You knew darn well when you clicked on a link that it was about hip-hop. Don't like it? Don't look at it. That is the power of self-control. Learn to use it. I'm not a Lil' Wayne fan, but at least I don't go around trolling sites like a little crybaby. Get over it.

Call me a hater if you will, but I do not understand how this man is not in jail. The article reads that he had dodged paying taxes several years ago( 2004, 2005, 2007 ). Why isn't he in jail with the thugs who support him?

For all the haters, I would like ANYONE to name 5 rock bands from the 21st century that even belong on the same list as Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pinkfloyd and other really great bands. Rock is in serious trouble.
