Gucci Mane Settles $823K Tax Bill

Gucci Mane has finally settled his rift with the federal government after coughing up over $800,000 in unpaid taxes, according to The Blast.

The publication — citing IRS documents — reports the ATL rapper recently paid off his entire tax bill, and authorities are no longer attempting to seize any of his assets.

The original tax lien was reportedly filed in 2013, and accused Mane of owing taxes from 2008 ($9,675.06), 2010 ($607,923.44), and 2011 ($205,760), equaling a total bill of $823,358.50.

Happy Easter from The TrapGod

Last month, the IRS is said to have filed paperwork to release the rapper from his tax lien.

It appears Guwop is not short of a dollar or two, after announcing in early November that his record label, Atlantic Records, was putting a $10 million extension on his contract.

Early last week, Mane hit Twitter to offer Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan $1 million in cash to reunite and record a project together.

Blac Chyna Taped Stroller-Fighting At Six Flags

Valencia, CA – Six Flags Magic Mountain wasn’t as magical as expected for model Blac Chyna who flew into a rage while at the Valencia, California amusement park on Sunday (April 1).

Cell phone footage from onlookers shows Blac Chyna ripping her jacket off and attempting to attack an unknown person with her stroller.

“I’m at 6 flags and I see Blac Chyna and her crew trying to fight,” Twitter user @AliciaaAngiee wrote in her caption to the rowdy clip.

Blac Chyna has since alluded to the incident in a post uploaded to her Instagram Stories. In her upload, she made mention of protecting her children “at all cost.”

“Being famous is hard enough dealing with scrutiny but when someone feels comfortable to come and touch your child it’s a whole other story. I do not condone violence nor am I a violent person but shout out to all of the amazing mothers out there that will protect their children at all cost. Love, King and Dreams Mommy,” Blac Chyna wrote.

Straight from #BlacChyna!

TMZ released a video of Fabolous yelling and charging at his longtime girlfriend Emily B and her father. He can be heard telling Emily’s dad that he has a bullet with the man’s name on it.

The footage follows news of Fabolous turning himself over to the Englewood Police Department after Emily reported the incident to authorities. In a separate altercation, he reportedly knocked her two front teeth out after punching her seven times in the face.

DMX Sentenced To Prison For Tax Evasion

DMX’s lawyer played his client’s 1998 hit “Slippin” in court on Wednesday (March 28), but it wasn’t enough to sway the judge to back off on sentencing X to a year in prison for tax evasion. It was a fairly light sentence as he was facing up to five years behind bars.

Last summer, “Party Up” MC was hit with 14 counts of tax fraud and pleaded guilty to one count as part of a deal in November 2017. In addition to the one year of prison time, he’s been ordered to three years of supervised release and mandated to pay $2.29 million in restitution to the government.
