Young Buck’s Home Raided By IRS he owes Over $300k in Tax Debt
Aug 4th
The FEDS raided Young Buck’s Nashville, TN home this morning over an unpaid $300k tax bill.
The Feds took recording equipment, jewelry, furniture as well as awards and platinum plaques in an effort to get their money.
lucky for him they Feds were nice enough to leave him his house and vehicles.
Young Buck has had issues with the IRS since leaving G-Unit and has blamed 50 in the past by saying
50 was was blocking him from making an income.
Buck released a statement saying,
“The worst part of this isn’t the material stuff–that will all be replaced. It’s what it does to the people around me. They took my kids’ Playstation, my assistants’ computers, and baby’s mothers’ jewelry. They took my home studio so I can’t even record.”
In an effort to get his finances in order, Buck added,
“I have a new team in place, but I am also paying full attention now. Nothing like this will ever happen again. This is a huge wake up call for all entertainers to stay on top of your own trusted employees and team members, and replace anyone that was put in place by your record label if the situation you have goes sour. This IRS situation came about because I trusted accountants, lawyers, and managers to handle my business for me while I focused on making music. From now on, I am going to stay on top of my own business.”
Smh when will Celebs learn to take care of their finance first,
why spend all this money on bling and cars, but not pay your taxes?
I will never understand that.
*I wonder what 50 is thinking about this*

Amuture Footage captured the infamous deadly incident on camera showing Fenger High School honor student Derrion Albert being punched, kicked, stomped and beaten with plywood during a massive brawl through city streets.
Bullock was suspended for five months for the incident but had a change of heart after gaining a mentor who’s paying for his education at Muhammad University of Islam.
He tells MyFoxChicago that his new environment has helped change his life.
“They make sure it’s 100% discipline at all times, from the nails, to the clothes, to your hair, everything…”
Bullock was seen on the Derrion Albert video shirtless and being struck with ply-wood before
grabbing the object himself and preparing to strike someone else with it.
He says however that something told him to put it down and walk away.
“I guess it was the grace of god that was in me. He was planning his directions for me right then…[telling me to] just walk away.”

Foxy speaks to Sway
Aug 2nd
Foxy Brown recently did an interview with mtv’s Sway,
Foxy states that the media is not concerned when she does good things,
which has led her to having such a tainted image in the press.
“No one seems to care when I donate 100 computers to a school,” Foxy said in the interview.
“But if it’s a little scandalous, they are all over it.”
Foxy also states that when she confronted a journalist who continuously tracked her legal issues, the reporter told her that ‘controversy sells’.
“When I approached Paula Froelich, who was my nemesis at Page Six (NY Daily News),
she told me that if I was doing good things to tell my priest,” Foxy continued. “But people want to hear the controversy and that’s their job, so I have a new found respect for them.”
In addition, Foxy revealed that Diddy gave her some sound advice regarding always staying in the news.
“Puffy told me that some artists are bigger than their records and some artists records are bigger than them,” Foxy said. “He told me that it’s not bad for your name to make headlines because it’s something when Puffy is the headline or Foxy is the headline without selling a record. When I was arrested I had TMZ hiding in trees and stuff and it was crazy.”
