Thanks to a judge moving her sentencing date, Lauryn Hill may be able to avoid prison.
TMZ reports that Hill was originally scheduled to be sentenced on Monday (April 22) after pleading guilty to tax evasion.
However, the sentencing was moved to May 6 to give Hill an opportunity to repay a portion of her $968,000 tax debt.
The rapper/actress’ attorney says that Hill has signed a million-dollar recording deal with Sony, and that she plans to take out a $650,000 loan to help pay off the bill.
Hill potentially faces several years in prison, though her attorneys hope for probation.
Last week, Lauryn claimed that threats on her family caused the former Fugees member to not pay her taxes.

Good luck with that
ISNT SHE A MARLEY ? WERES THE MONEY ?
She married the wrong Marley. Bob had 11 kids and Lauryn married the one who didn’t manage to make a successful music career. Guess she should have went with Ziggy.
She didn’t marry a Marley you idiot. She had childen with one. Big difference. They’re no longer together.
“People feel Lauryn Hill from New York to Is-jail”
Final Hour
FREE MS HILL
FREE YOURSELF, DIPSHIT… THIS CUNT HAS BEEN FREELOADING OF ** US **– taxpaying regular people– FOR LONG ENOUGH.
PAY YOUR DEBTS, CUNT!!
Black people should be exempt from taxes as reparations for slavery.
What you mean freeloading? She already paid the US government more taxes thus far than your lame ass will in your entire lifetime. U hatin’ ass Viagra needing chump.
“Hill potentially faces several years in prison, though her attorneys hope for probation.”LOL – Please fix.
OK ok, i will be doing 14 shows over these 2 weeks. bat mitzvahs, sweet 16s, weddings, anything you got.
$50k a show. i can do it….i hope i can do it
Watch her mysteriously record a weak ass album like Justin Timberlake now just to get out of debt
She just signed a deal? So that means she’s making a new album, I guess. It’s a shame that she had to be FORCED to do it, but that’s what happens when you get lazy and try to live off the success of two albums.
Ja Rule will pay it off
Ja Rulism NIGGA
I heard you were ja rule’s tossed salad in jail….lmao!!
see ya’ in the can, bitch. I’ll see if I can bribe the CO to get you some extra smokes.
MARLEY MARL >>>>> LAURYN HILL
Aint nothing worst than wasted talent…by now, she would have had at least three platinum albums….
Looks like Lauryn finally gonna agree to that Fugees reunion
Kind of wished she went to jail she wasted her talent and eveyones time, I love her music she use to make back in the day but I’m tired of her and her atttitude maybe a few years in jail was what she needed..Don’t care about her or her so-called career she has now if you can call it that.
You’re basically saying that you wish she went to jail because she failed to provide you with entertainment. How the f do you know what she went through in her personal life? Too many black people in jail for that mess.
Time for her to get her ass in the studio and make decent music again. Not sit with a fuckin guitar and sing some weak shit.
Bitch needs some Fed time for being stupid, irresponsible and having a horrible haircut. Maybe she can do something useful with her spoiled rich kid life afterwards, like be a tollbooth attendant or a happy ending massage therapist.
She’ll basically be working for free.
“Black people should be exempt” now that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard. There are so many opportunities for black because of that very reason that are not bring utilized now. No she should not be in jail, that’s more of taxpayers money wasted. She should be out here earning and paying what is due. She’s not working for free, she’s working for the “free money” she’s already enjoyed.
How about getting a “regular” job alongside with this music thing to help speed up the process.
listen to “patrice o neal – reperations”
off his Mr.P album.
he makes a great point
