Beyonce's Dad reportedly owes the IRS $1.2 million

With a daughter and son in law that are super rich and famous one would think that their parents are in the clear financially right?

Wrong! This doesn't seem to be the case with Beyonce's dad Mathew Knowles.

Things just took a left turn for Papa Knowles after receiving some bad IRS news stating, he still owes a tax debt of $1.2 million, from the days when he managed Bey’s career.

Daddy probably made millions since he now owes $1.2M. "Hmmmmm, wey de money gone"

According to the reports, the Government recently filed a lien against Knowles, claiming he needs to pay up from the years 2010 ($485,575.95) and 2011 ($728,004.89) …totalling, $1,213,580.84.

If this report is accurate, the IRS' actions could have a dampening effect on his current business.

He may even have to 'borrow' quite a few "Benjamins"  from Bey and Jay,

Lesson learned: No one is above the law ( Atleast in the U.S )

Singer Lauryn Hill has been sentenced in the US state of New Jersey to three months in jail for tax evasion.

The Grammy-winning singer, 37, also faces three months of home confinement, after pleading guilty last year.

Hill failed to pay taxes on about $1.8M of earnings between 2005-07.

In a statement to the judge, Hill said she intended to pay the taxes but could not after ending her music career. It is not clear when Hill will report to prison.

"I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children, and I was being denied that," Hill told the judge in court on Monday.

Hill has six children, five of whom she had with Rohan Marley, the son of Bob Marley.

Threats to herself and her family prompted former Fugees singer Lauryn Hill to skip paying taxes for three years.

Hill recently filed court documents seeking leniency in her upcoming sentencing for tax evasion claiming she skipped out on her taxes due to the perceived threats and because of her overall withdrawal from society.

The 37-year-old former singer for the Fugees previously pleaded guilty for failing to file tax returns from 2005 to 2007, a period when she earned $1.8m.

The Killing Me Softly singer 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

The hip-hop artist however, didn't elaborate on the perceived threats.

Hill also has asked the court to consider other factors before her sentencing, including her contention that she can pay off her debt faster if she's not imprisoned.
