Master P has joined the ever-growing list of emcees to owe back taxes.
TMZ reports that P has been hit with liens for unpaid California taxes in 1999 and 2000, according to documents filed by the state tax board.
The documents indicate Master P owes $237,027.41.
Master P built his estimated $350 million net worth through his No Limit Records, a label that was extremely popular in the late ’90s. The label featured artists such as Mystikal, Mia X, Silkk the Shocker and C-Murder, and was the first label home for Snoop Dogg post-Death Row Records. The company filed for bankruptcy in December 2003, after which point Master P sold its catalogue.
Master P also dabbled in film and television, sports representation (notably negotiating a disastrous rookie NFL contract for running back Ricky Williams), and various other business investments.
Other artists to have been in tax trouble in recent years include Method Man, Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, Beanie Sigel, R. Kelly, Nas, Sean Garrett, Yougn Buck, Dame Dash, and Swizz Beatz, among others.

that’s not really a lot. Way to go TMZ and Hiphopdx. Nicholas Cage owes 6 million.
Nick cage bought a haunted house since then hes been ruined
Nic Cage was also making half a dozen movies a year, probably clearing $15 mill each time. He had the money. He just didn’t pay up.
is this nigga broke or does he still has his 350 mil?
That’s his estimated net worth, does not mean he has that amount liquid.
not always a bad thing to owe the IRS
Shit like this annoys the hell out of me. It’s been 13yrs. If Cali didnt bother to make sure his taxes were right back then, they shouldnt be able to come try and collect now? Fuck tax laws.
co-sign, i dont understand the logic behind some of these laws
How do you burn through 350 mill and go broke in just a few years???
Sounds like his financial advisor was MC Hammer..

Did Percy pull a Hammer?
Rich people alot of time’s don’t pay there taxes and negotiate a cheaper deal happens all the time anyway I seen the making of Master P new video two three and dude owns over 23 exotic cars and a giant mansion
The reality is a lot of these rich guys aren’t as rich as they want you to believe. P’s been out of the spotlight for years now, and could have easily lost millions on bad business deals, or just a lack of new money coming in.
Good for him, sounds like karma after planting the seed to kill hip hop with his horrible music 16 years ago.
Ebro, is that you?
shiiiiiiit MC Hammer wishes he had Master P’s problems
Who the hell is “Yougn Buck”
you guys are terrible, and would fail an English class.
you dont know who young buck is??? how old r u and did u just start listening to rap like yesterday….lol
Hey dumb fucks.. Mc hammer is far from broke. Do some research. Vanilla ice has more money than your favorite rappers favorite rapper combined.
Here comes the he’s broke rumors..yall dont know shit
lol, naw not broke, but failed investments and screwed up accounting? more than likely
Not failed investments or screwed accounting. Lames still assuming. He just never paid….That’s all you know, if it’s even that.
NoNo-
And you know all this how? P probably ain’t broke, but he wouldn’t be the first person who had money to lose a large chunk of it. That’s usually done through bad investing. Failed businesses. Excessive spending. Hanger’s on. Take your pick.
Things have gotten so bad last week I asked Fiend for a hundred dollars.
