Uncle Sam is reportedly looking to collect more than $1 million from Mary J. Blige. According to Bossip, the Internal Revenue Service has accused the multi-platinum selling singer of owing $1,198,161 in back taxes.
The IRS filed a tax lien, which was obtained by Bossip, last month claiming Blige hasn’t paid taxes on income from 2016 and 2017. The Queen Of Hip Hop Soul already has outstanding federal tax liens dating back to her marriage to ex-husband and former manager Kendu Isaacs.
Blige is no stranger to tax troubles. In 2013, she was hit with a $901,769.65 tax lien. Although she reportedly settled that debt, she was hit with another tax lien — this time for $166,292.77 — in 2016.
So far, Blige hasn’t responded to the latest lien. She is currently on the road with Nas as part of their Royalty Tour, which began in July.
The two are scheduled to wrap up their co-headlining shows in September.

When you do not take care of your finances this what happens to the the best of them. Also getting married to others and give them half without them even working hard for it. Her husband reck her finances without being successful himself. Vault your money people and know where it is! Mary should easily know how to pay for her own taxes. Right the check Mary! They come every year at the same time. Get smarter my people! It is your earnings of hard work, know where it is going and pay your yearly taxes. Get better accountants and lawyers. Fire the ones that you have because they simply does not seek your best interest. This is nonsense Mary!
I like this comment.
Not sure if these artists are even aware of this stuff with all the people handling their money. However, she probably did see it coming
I hope Beyonce gets arrested one day that would be swell.
