Lol, birdbrain stay losing……….queer.
Owes or owed? so the IRS is paying him back?
how come all these rappers owe shit from years back.. does the IRS not give them yearly bills and let it stack up or what i dont understand
Nah, doesn’t work like that. As a millionaire, you would normally have an accountant who would take care of filing your taxes for you. So, he either purposely avoided paying his taxes or Wayne stole his mail lol
Birdman did file his taxes. Wayne stole the money in transit because wayne wasn’t allowed to put a subpar album out.
Even you know your comment is a lie. Besides, Wayne has released nothing but subpar albums.
Wayne was releasing subpar work since loyal.
No, Wayne has been releasing subpar work simce his debut album.
wesleys theory
Like father like…son?
Ohhh ohhh, did this guy blow 100’s of million?… Titanic is sinking all over again
it says he paid them already dummy
Its a bad time to be Baby right now!
The Cash Money artists should take comfort knowing they aren’t the only ones Birdman isn’t paying….
