No Rumor: IRS Sells EVERYTHING Young Buck Owns For Pennies On The Dollar!

 

IRS Sells EVERYTHING Young Buck Owns For Pennies On The Dollar!

Man, this is some BS! I cannot help, but feel bad for Young Buck. I know he made some bad decisions, but damn! I’m thinking that maybe he did something else that we don’t know about and that his Karma is coming back. I cannot call it.

At any rate, the IRS is going after rappers in alarming ways, but this is just disrespectful!

The IRS has revealed that they sold all his stuff for $53K! This includes a 615 Cashville necklace for $12,600. Other things that were sold for much less, including flat screen TVs, gold albums, other jewelry, and recording equipment.

EVEN HIS NAME WAS SOLD.

So from now on Young Buck cannot even rap under that name.

He owes about $11.5 million to the IRS and sadly another $10 million is owed to G-Unit records.

Buck has also been sentenced to 18 months in jail.

VIDEO: With The Future In Mind, Beanie Sigel Talks Man-To-Man Dr. Ben Chavis (Episode 1)

It could be considered the best of times and the worst of times for Beanie Sigel. The Philadelphia mic legend is recording some of his best music in years – if his latest single, “The Reunion” with his State Property cronies is any indication.

But, Beanie Sigel is also set to surrender on September 12 to serve two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to tax fraud. That he is working on getting his business and personal life in line right now is no wonder.

Still, we were surprised to see Beanie team up for a sit-down with longtime activist, Dr. Ben Chavis, for the first in a series of interviews called “Man-to-Man”. It’s another side of Beanie that many haven’t seen before, and the conversation is definitely worth the watching. Check out the video below:

Look for Beanie Sigel’s new album, This Time, dropping on August 28 on Ruffhouse and EMI Label Services.

In the meantime, check out the album’s first single, “The Reunion”, featuring State Property below:
