Nas Owes Almost $6.5 Million In Taxes

by Anthony Miccio

Another year, another couple million dollars in the hole. In December 2009, we reported that Nas owed $2.5 million in back taxes—one reason he was whining about ex-wife Kelis‘ child support. But it looks like 2010 wasn’t any kinder to the dude: according to the Tax Watchdog blog, Nas now owes $6.4 million to the government, with the last half-mill or so tacked on earlier this month. Adding insult to injury, his condo association wants $3,860 in unpaid assessments on his Queens crib. Get in line, guys! Get in line.

It is really a shame that Nas and Kelis couldn’t work out their differences and fight their money problems together (a maid recently accused Kelis of owing her $900 and a hair stylist sued the “A Capella” singer for $5,000 in March). How do you go from buying a secluded mansion for “loud sex” to this financial heartbreak? Oh, right—by not figuring out how to pay for the secluded mansions.
