  • DMX Facing Over 40 Years In Prison Over Massive Tax Debt




    (AllHipHop News) Rapper DMX is in big trouble with the Internal Revenue Service tax collectors.

    IRS officials have charged the “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” hitmaker with 14 counts of tax evasion and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York claims he has concealed his income for years, racking up a $1.7 million debt.

    In documents obtained by TMZ, officials have accused DMX, real name Earl Simmons, of using the bank accounts of surrogates instead of his own to keep his once vast earnings under the radar.

    In the indictment, prosecutors claim he listed his income in 2011 and 2012 as “unknown” when in reality he’d hauled in over $350,000 and $540,000 , respectively, and in 2013, he reported income of $10,000.

    According to the officials, he actually brought in $250,000 that year.

    If convicted on all 14 counts, the rap star faces 44 years behind bars.

    The embattled hip-hop star recently completed a rehab stint after voluntarily entering a treatment centre in Southern California on April 27.

    When the news of his latest rehab stay first hit the headlines, the rapper’s manager Pat Gallo confirmed the star would be taking time off to “focus on his health so that he can be a better father, friend and entertainer.”

    Gallo added, “We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of concern and support that has poured in. We ask that you please keep X in your prayers as he embraces your support.”

        Horrible news. He's just as good as dead being in jail for 44 years. He will be 86 years old when his sentence ends. Wow. I doubt he will live to see his 80's with all his drug problems.

                  40 years for tax debt? I find that hard to believe

                  Anyone from the states can tell the government is that tough?

                    they'll threaten with 44 years and settle for 5 and a hefty fine.

                    evading paying taxes has brought down many powerful people in america.
                    its almost like if theve committed other crimes but the feds cant convict on them theyll bring up tax evasion charges and get their conviction...like they did with al copone in the 20s

                              DMX Facing Over 40 Years In Prison Over Massive Tax Debt

                              Really sad for me, I toured him several years ago and even though the drug usage was rampant (partly my fault because I had to organise them for him) we had a lot of discussions about religion. Fundamentally he's a good guy, but he battles his demons daily

                              We reached out to pat a few weeks ago trying to organise an Australian Tour but were met with a no at this stage
