Everybody knows you have to pay your taxes, no matter how much you don't want to. Those who don't, well, they get into some serious trouble. The latest celeb to front on Uncle Sam is rapper Lil Kim.
According to a report from DetNews.com, the pint-sized rapper (real name: Kimberly Jones) owes $979,090 in delinquent state and federal taxes.
The tax debt was racked up from IRS liens and non-payment over the years, dating back from February 2004 all the way up to April of 2008.
