lauryn hill1 Quick Quotes: Lauryn Hill Blames Slavery On Tax Evasion

Standing in federal court this week, Lauryn Hill compared her experience in the music industry to the slavery her ancestors endured before a judge sentenced her to three months in prison for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.

I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me . . . Someone did the math, and it came to around $600 million. And I sit here before you trying to figure out how to pay a tax debt? If that’s not like enough to slavery, I don’t know.

I need to take a long drag from her blunt and leave this backyard boogie alone. You don’t understand the ways I am going to flip the phrase ‘if that’s not like enough to slavery’ this season. Stay tuned!

How Dreadful: Lauryn Hill Sentenced To Three Months In Prison For Tax Evasion

lauryn hill How Dreadful: Lauryn Hill Sentenced To Three Months In Prison For Tax Evasion

Until there is a cure for Island Dick, I am making it my life’s mission to solicit prayers and cartons of Kools cigarettes in support of Lauryn Hill.

The 37-year-old was sentenced on Monday to three months in federal prison, three months in home confinement and a $60,000 fine for failing to file tax returns on more than $1.8 million in earnings between 2005 and 2007. Father, I stretch my hands to thee.

Her attorney Nathan Hochman said in an email that she recently paid more than $970,000 just ahead of her court appearances to satisfy state and federal tax liabilities. She still owes another $285,000 in interest and penalties. Ms. Hill must report to prison by July 8. It’s not clear where she’ll serve her sentence.

The next time you are at the post office and an employee asks you “Any stamps today?” just slowly nod your head.

Lauryn Hill Claims Withdrawing From Society And “Very Real Threats” Against Family Kept Her From Paying Taxes

Conspiracy theorists such as myself believe Lauryn Hill‘s troubles can be linked to one source: island dick fallout. I’ll let you decide for yourself if we are on target or not.

In new legal documents filed today, L. Boogie cites “very real threats” against her family as the reason she evaded her taxes for three years in a row.

The 37-year-old entertainer says she stopped paying taxes “when she withdrew from society at large due to what she perceived as manipulation and very real threats to herself and her family”, according to TMZ.

She pled guilty last summer to “intentionally and willingly” failing to file her returns from 2005 to 2007, and faces up to three years in jail and several thousand dollars in fines.

Despite her debt, she reportedly earned up to $1.8 million during that period. Indeed, everything is everything.

Ms. Hill is requesting probation prior to her April 22 sentencing where she faces a maximum of one year in prison and $100,000 in fines for each count.
