Ludacris Stays On Top Of His Taxes
By WENNMonday, March 22, 2010
Rapper LUDACRIS has vowed never to fall foul of America’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) because he always stays on top of his taxes.
Hip-hop stars including Nas, Snoop Dogg and Method Man have all been named and shamed as tax dodgers - but the Stand Up hitmaker, real name Christopher Bridges, insists he has no intention of adding his name to that list.
He tells Fuse TV, “I pay more in taxes than most people would ever imagine. I guarantee you, you will never hear about Ludacris owing the damn IRS no damn money (sic).”
Nas reportedly owes $3.4 million (£2.1 million) in taxes, while Snoop Dogg is alleged to owe almost $600,000 (£375,000).
Method Man failed to file income tax returns for three years from 2004, leading to the Wu-Tang Clan star being arrested and charged with tax evasion in New York last year (09).
