Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill was a big name in the rap music scene back in the ’90s to the 2000s. She was one of the reigning top queens of the hip-hop and R&B genre. But despite her fame and the money she was cashing in then, she still had financial troubles. At the time, according to reports, the 45-year-old star found it hard to pay her taxes. So, you know what would happen next if you ever encounter this issue.

Hill probably needed the help of her lawyer back then. As her stand, the singer explained she decided not to pay her taxes due to a “climate of hostility” and “manipulation” that disturbed her creativity. However, the court didn’t hear her claims, and she even ended up getting the sentence of imprisonment for three months. She also had to pay the IRS a whopping $554,000.
