7 Weird Ways To Bug-Proof Your Picnic
Thug rap recording artist Trick Daddy has just joined the ranks of celebs who just can't seem to pay their taxes.
The Miami, Florida rapper whose real name is Maurice Young reportedly owes Uncle Sam over $157,000 in back taxes for 2002 earnings. The platinum-selling artist is not only delinquent in taxes but a bank foreclosed on his $320,000 Miami-Dade county home last May and sold it this past October.
What's owed? According to the lien, the "Thug Holiday" hitmaker and his wife have an IRS lien against them for $85,366 which was filed on Sept. 3 for tax years 2007, 2008 and 2009. The feds also filed a $16,709 lien against the couple on July 29 in Miami-Dade County for income taxes from 2006. Finally, there is also a $54,979 lien against Trick also filed on July 29 in Miami-Dade County for income taxes from 2002.
When it rains it certainly pours for Trick Daddy, who is battling the potentially fatal autoimmune disease lupus which makes the immune system attack the body's cells and tissue. Lupus affects all major organs in the human body, including the heart, kidneys and nervous system.
The 37-year-old revealed his condition last year during a radio interview. Trick admitted he was diagnosed twelve years ago and has been battling it ever since. "My mama had 11 children from 10 different men. If she can live with that, I know I can live with this," the self proclaimed "Mayor of Miami" said during the interview.
Trick Daddy, who was raised in poverty and considered to be a thoughtful thug by many, is currently promoting his autobiography Magic City: Trials of a Native Son.The book is an unsparing portrayal of life in a Southern ghetto.

This is not surprising. Most of these guys are from poor backgrounds with little or no business sense. They think that one million dollars will last forever so they buy outrageous houses, cars, jewelry and clothes. The people who advise them are usually friends from the hood. You would think that by now, the sucessful Black entertainers would offer advice or direction to these up and coming guys, but its that crab mentality again. I got mine, screw everybody else. I pray for his health and sanity.
