D12 members Kon Artis and Kuniva have run afoul with the IRS, joining a plentiful list of celebrities facing the same situation.
Of the two, Kuniva and his wife owe $137,702 in taxes on income earned from 2004-2006. Kuniva also owes $16,590 to the state of Michigan.
Kon Artist, aka Denaun Porter, owes $61,501 for unpaid taxed. In an interview with the Detroit News, he revealed that his debt could be wiped out in as little as two months.
“I’m not questioning the IRS,” Kon Artist told the Detroit News. It could have been a combination of not paying enough (taxes), it could have been them not accepting enough write-offs…Take my publishing checks. I’ll make money elsewhere…I’m done with them at the end of the year.”
