Ja Rule has found himself in a whirlwind of financial disorder ever since the FYRE Festival debacle early last year and now Uncle Sam is after the “Always On Time” recording artist (again) for allegedly failing to pay his taxes for 11 years. The IRS recently hit him a tax lien for $363,269 for his earnings in 2014 and 2015, Bossip reports.
The Murder Inc. rap star has had a long history of not meeting his tax obligations, which is why he was sentenced to 28 months in 2011 after failing to fork over money owed on $3 million in earnings between 2004–2006. In 2013, the IRS alleged that Ja owed $1.7 million but Uncle Sam has reportedly yet to see a dime.
Perhaps the rapper-actor should take a look at past recording acts who were previously sent to the slammer for tax evasion including Lauryn Hill, Fat Joe, and the latest, DMX, who was given a one-year prison sentence and ordered to pay up $2.3 million in restitution.

Uncle Sam to Ja Rule “Where would I be without you” well ur taxes ahaha
ja rule dont need to pay taxes, hes above the law. #godstatus
Him and dmx are probably the biggest fails in hip hop. Definitely listened to them both tho.
i would never call dmx an failure in hip hop you are nuts! he’s one of the only artists in the hip hop community to go diamond. Take several seats move them around and sit in them again.
X sold a lot in his day, particularly And Then There Was X, but he never went diamond. That being said he’s far from a fail. Crack is a hell of a drug tho.
Ja isn’t a big fail he just had the wrong ppl around him I hope he get a break and make a comeback
….and Trump’s taxes?
lookin for new prison romance
Ja Rule is the best rapper alive. #Newrules.
Him and dmx gonna be sharin a toothbrush
