Eve Facing Tax Troubles
By WENNSunday, February 21, 2010
Rapper EVE owes a massive $357,000 (£223,000) to U.S. tax officials, according to new reports.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials are chasing the star - full name Eve Jihan Jeffers - after she allegedly fell behind on her income tax payments during 2008 and 2009.
The Detroit News reports four separate liens have been filed against Eve at a Los Angeles court since 2008; two from the IRS totalling $271,684 (£169,802) and two from officials of the state of California totalling $85,656 (£53,535).
It comes just weeks after the rapper was linked to a multi-million dollar money laundering investigation centred around her on/off boyfriend Teodorin Nguema.
