Ja Rule Faces More Jail Time After Pleading Guilty To Tax Evasion

Mar 23 | by _YBF

Ja Rule recently plead guilty to tax evasion after failing to report income earned from 2004-2006. Deets inside...

During a federal court hearing in New Jersey on Tuesday, troubled rapper Ja Rule admitted that he didn't pay taxes on more than $4 million in income.

At the hearing, he pled guilty to skirting the IRS on income earned between 2004-2006 as part of a plea deal that dismissed two counts of unpaid taxes on income earned in 2007 and 2008.

The "Put It On Me" rapper will get sentenced in June on the three remaining tax evasion charges and faces up to one year in prison and $100,000 in fines on each count. Now....this is in ADDITION to the time he is expected to spend in jail based on his previous gun charges.

You may remember he pled guilty to attempted gun possession in December 2010, as a result of a July 2007 arrest. He faces sentencing for that on June 8, though he has already agreed to a two-year prison term.

SMH...maybe the judges will get together and combine the sentences. Either way...looks like we won't be seeing Ja Rule walking any red carpets for a long time.

Lets clarify the money that

Lets clarify the money that Uncles Sam is looking for - $100,000 fine per count (2004 - 2006) equals $300,000. They dismissed the charges for 2007 and 2008. However, that is just the FINES. He still owes for the taxes and penalties from 2004 through 2008. Probably have a lien on all his property. Well it seems like he was broke in 2009 because they did not mention that. These rappers better get a clue that the record label gives you a 1099 and they report all earnings to the IRS. they better start saving business and travel receipts so they can offset their income with expenses. Don't depend on any manager to file your taxes cause that is not a plea for not filing. They need to make qurterly estimated tax payments so it is not so bad at the end of the year. Ignorance of the tax laws is not a defense in Tax Court. Tell Wesley Snipes I said "hey"......SMH...say what you want to about 50 cent and Jay Z, but I bet they have their business taken care of.

Back to Rappers University!

Back to Rappers University! What will this degree be Master Thug or Pig Headed Dummy (PHD). SMDH! I am so over these ignant black men in hip hop and rap making us look bad. You hardly ever hear of singers of other races repeatedly doing stupid stuff and getting in to beefs. High school is over! Grow up and be men, not just a penis, but real mean who take charge and responsibility.
