The Queen of Hip Hop and R&B Soul has been hit with a $3.4 million dollar federal tax lien, according to court records. This comes after years of delinquent federal income taxes from 2009-2011 according to the IRS.
According to New York daily news, Blige owes the state of New Jersey $900,000 in back taxes.
Blige has put her Saddler River mansion up for sale for $13.9 million dollars.
Blige is in trouble with the banks, as well. She was sued recently by the Bank of America in New York State Supreme Court for taking out a $500,000 loan and only partially paying it back. They’re suing her for the unpaid principal plus interest owed around $514,000.
Blige and her husband Martin Isaacs were also sued in November 2012 by Signature Bank for defaulting on a $2.2 million loan.
The nine-time Grammy winner came under fire last year for allowing her Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now to fall into financial disarray. The charity, which helps send girls to college, was slapped with a lawsuit for failing to pay back a bank loan in 2011. The foundation has since been reorganized, with priority given to catching up on arrears, Blige has said.
“Mary has been and is continuing to work with her new team to resolve all these issues as quickly as possible,” a member of her public relations staff said in a statement.
Okay Mary, the last we checked folks are getting fed time for failing to pay these taxes. Take it from Ronald Isley, Wesley Snipes and Lauren Hill. We have one question for you though Mary.
