Damn according to ABC Method Man was arrested on Staten Island for failing to pay taxes for four years.

  • The 38-year old artist, whose real name is Clifford Smith, did not pay any taxes for four years, according to prosecutors. He will be arraigned later today. According to the D.A.’s office, Smith owes $32,799 in taxes, a total that does not include fees or penalties. He was charged with failure to pay personal income tax and earnings, as well as misdemeanor failure to pay taxes. Smith will be arraigned at Staten Island Criminal Court later today. He faces a maximum of four years behind bars.

Wow.  How does Method Man only owe the State of New York $32,799 in taxes?  He must be getting a lot of money off the books.  This really isn’t a godd look for Meth if he can’t come up with 32K in back taxes.  I mean I would understand if he couldn’t pay like 400K in back taxes, but 32 G’s?  Meth might be hitting the pawn shop soon.  Is it me or do pretty much all rappers suck at managing their money?
