The Taxman is looking for Rapper Nas

Hip hop star Nas might have caught a break in his monthly payments to Kelis, but the IRS is in need of their cut. The feds just hit the legendary rapper with a new tax lien, and now Nas’ bill is past $6.46 million, according to public records.

In fact his condo association is labeling him a deadbeat because he owes $3,860 in common charges. This is according to alien filed against him last fall by the condo managers. They claim Nas hasn’t paid the $420 monthly assessment since January 2010.

According to The Tax Watchdog:

The IRS filed a $514,298 lien Jan. 10 with the New York City Register of Deeds.
The IRS filed a $3,365,671lien Feb. 3, 2010, in New York.
The IRS filed a $2,584,236 lien Oct. 16, 2009, in New York.

Man I need Nas to come out with another album quick. I can see why the judge took 25K away a month from Kelis. This man needs it more then her. In fact maybe she should give him some support to he gets back on his feet.

FABOLOUS LOVING HIS SON AND TALKS ABOUT REJECTION FROM HIS FATHER.

There's a song called "Stay" on Fabolous' album Loso's Way that gave him a platform to publicly inquire how a father could deny his son. It's a feeling of personal reflection the rapper had when he had his son Johan Jackson prior to creating the song. In a recent interview, Loso dove deeper into why having his son means so much to him and how he changed his career goals.



I had just had a son prior to doing the record and it made me reflect on my father being absent in my life. It just related to me about how I felt about my son and it was kind of a weird moment for me because if I felt like this about my son, why didn't my father feel like this about me?

Things are different, too— different times, and different generations, and it's a different relationship, too. His relationship with my mom might have been different than my relationship with my child's mother. It was something that came naturally together for me, so it was something I definitely wanted to talk about and I felt like people related to it going through the same thing.



Listen to the song "Stay" and check out a few flicks of Fab and his son below:

MARY J. BLIGE APART OF BENEFIT CONCERT FOR AUSTRALIAN FLOOD VICTIMS

Mary J. Blige has joined forces with other entertainers to raise money for Australians suffering from massive floods throughout the region.

Blige is joined with Sean Paul and Maxi Priest to perform at Birsbane's Raggamuffin Music Festival Reggae For Recovery— Flood Relief Benefit Concert on January 30 where they pledged a portion of their ticket sales to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal.

WENN reports:
Organizers of a series of shows in Australia featuring Mary J. Blige, Sean Paul and Maxi Priest have vowed to donate proceeds to a relief fund for victims of the country’s devastating floods.

The state of Queensland was plunged into a state of emergency this month as heavy rain caused massive flooding throughout the region – at least 25 people have died and thousands of residents have been forced to flee their homes. The floodwaters have now also affected the state of Victoria.

Blige and Priest are among the stars due to perform at Brisbane’s Raggamuffin music festival on 30 January, and organisers have now renamed the gig Reggae For Recovery – Flood Relief Benefit Concert.


Concert organizers also pledged 10 percent of proceeds in four cities the festival will visit to disaster funds.











The BBC has officially reported New South Wales a disaster area where water levels have reached as high as 18 feet! More than 1,000 people have been evacuated from the area. The photos looks like the Australian version of New Orleans' Hurricane Katrina.
