 Swizz Beatz may be one of the most successful producers in hip-hop, but apparently, his taxes aren't exactly in line.
According to The Detroit News, Swizzy (real name: Kasseem Dean) is in debt to Uncle Same for more than $2.6 million for delinquent taxes.
The producer and new wife, Alicia Keys, welcomed a new baby boy in October of last year. But days after the birth, Swizzy was slapped with a tax lien by the state of New York for over $130,000.
Then, at the beginning of this month (January 3), the IRS filed a $283,000 lien against him with the New York City Register.
Reports first surfaced of Swizz Beatz' problems with the IRS last summer, in which documents showed he owed more than $2.2 million in back taxes. Now, it seems as though that amount just keeps getting bigger.

- The IRS filed a $283,562 lien against Swizz Beatz on Monday with the New York City Register.
