Mary J. Blige and comedian Sinbad join the list of celebrities owing MILLIONS in back taxes


 
It's most definitely mo' money, mo' problems and please don't let anyone tell you different. At least not Mary J. Blige and Sinbad. Singer Mary J. Blige has been slapped with a 3.4 million tax lien. The IRS claims that Blige did not pay taxes for the years of 2009 to 2011. Blige also apparently owes the state of New Jersey  $900K and allegedly defaulted on a 2.2 million dollar bank loan. Comedian Sinbad has filed bankruptcy for the second time, claiming to owe $10,991,715 in debt with only $131,000 in assets. According to gossip site TMZ,  he also owes a cool $8.3 million of back taxes from 1998- 2006. Sinbad claims that he cannot pay his bills and only makes $16,000 a month. SAY WHAT??!!!! Look, I'm definitely not here to judge, but will someone please do a documentary on one of these networks on why so many celebrities are on Uncle Sam's hit list? I have questions. Like, who is managing their money? How can you go for so many years and make so much money and not pay? Isn't that why they spend (or should) good money to have people conduct this business for them? Chile, what do I know, I'm just writing a little cute blog:) Blige and Sinbad join the long list of celebrities with tax woes such as Ronald Isley, Wesley Snipes and more recently Lauryn Hill, who will serve three months in prison for non payment of taxes. Prayers up to these celebs as they go through these tough times.
