MC Hammer’s tax problems appear keen not to set him free, even eighteen years after he famously filed for bankruptcy and lost all his master recordings in the process.
Last December, the 80’s rapper owed almost $800,000 in taxes to the taxman, but apparently they’re demanding even more, now asking Hammer for $1.4 million.
However, according to Hammer, the IRS are in the wrong. The veteran rapper managed to get out of most of his debt in 2007 when he paid off $7 million, which apparently included more than $1.4 million to the IRS. Now, seven years later, Hammer says the IRS have demanded another $1.4 million in penalties and interest on his 1996 unpaid taxes.
Hammer has filed legal documents, according to TMZ, asking a judge to block the IRS from collecting more money.
