R. Kelly In More Trouble
R. Kelly just can not seem to catch a break. In recent months, it was reported that the R & B crooner owed $4,848,072.71 in unpaid taxes. His tax obligation spanned five years, starting in 2005 all the way up to 2010.
Now it seems the “Trapped in the Closet” singer owes even more money to Uncle Sam. According to courts documents from Illinois, Mr. Kelly owes an additional $1,379,695.11 in unpaid taxes. The additional amount is money that he owes for the year 2011.
One has to wonder what R. Kelly’s accountant has been up to and if he is still on the payroll, Mr. Kelly may need to reconsider his choice of hire.
Talking to TMZ, Kelly’s rep. said,
”He takes this very seriously and is already communicating with the IRS about the payment process to quickly resolve the issue.”
There may be hope for Kelly tackling his huge tax bill. On October 13, the R & B singer will launch his Single Ladies tour in Columbia, South Carolina. Kelly will be joined by singer, Tamia on the tour.
Earlier in the year, Kelly had throat surgery and then also suffered some complications after the surgery. Kelly even cancelled some appearances due to his complications from surgery. Even after his set-backs, he will start the tour in October.

Why are all these Black artist and entertainers getting hit with this tax shyt?
How come caucasoid actors are never or seldom in the news for tax evation? And, why do these Black enterainer’s accountants, wait so long to report tax problems?
This is a game that these khazars are playing with Black entertainers and athletes. They STEAL their money, than they turn them on to THEIR lawyers; then the lawyers and judges make a deal, and 5:00pm ALL of them are eating steaks together laughing to the bank!!!
THEY DID OUR BLACK ENTERTAINERS LIKE THIS BACK IN THE 30′s; they CONTROLLED their money, then all of a sudden, these Black entertainers are BROKE or have TAX PROBLEMS!!!
NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! THESE khazars still OWN the music, entertainment, sports and media industries; therefore, until we GET OUR OWN, this shyt is going to continue to these entertainers.
These enterainers need to learn how to multiply, subtract, add and divide and put these cracker accountants to the curb.
THEY CAN SING, BUT CAN’T COUNT!!!
Black entertainers make the same mistake of granting carte blanche to folk who handle their money. They don’t hold them accuntable and fail, repeatedly, to have indiependent unannounced audits of the books in addition to failing to personally see to it their tax obligations are met. The first thing a black entertainer should do–before hiring an accountant–is to personally meet with someone at the IRS. That way the accountant and the earnings are watched out the gate.
Amazing! I just dont understand this type of ignorance?
Thanks “Derrick’…………….You totally said it all, direct and to the point.
Everyone who is making that kind of money should take a mandatory course in money management, their managers should insist on it if they care about their clients.. I am always amazed that these people are paying good money for such bad advice, refund anyone???
No sympathy whatsoever!!
Black Entertainers, Celebrities, and Sport Athletes are targeted in large numbers for tax evasion. The big question is why? Maybe it is the real fact,that these Black Entertainers,Celebrities and Sport Athletes, should focus on minding their own finances and invest in Financial Literacy Classes…The should know the difference between Asset & Liabilities…Assets are Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, Income-Generating Real Estate, Royalties from Intellectual Property such as Music, Scripts, Patents, and anything else that has value, produces income or appreciates and has a ready market…..Liabilities are Credit Cards, Consumer Loans, Mortgage,Bad Investments…Financial Literacy is Vital if You Want to Build a Future for You and Your Family….The more money you are responsible for,the more accuracy is required, or the house comes tumbling down….Stay Focus and Stay on Top of Your Money.
