IRS Barks at Bow Wow to Cough Up $90K
Bow Wow may not be Lil Bow Wow anymore, but he's in a Lil trouble with the federal government over some back taxes. Like more than 90 grand worth.
A tax lien filed in Florida by the U.S. government says the rapper owes Uncle Sam $91,105.61 to be exact for unpaid taxes dating back to the year 2006.
Bow Wow took to his blog to dispute the report of his financial troubles, calling it “not true,” and advising his fans not to believe celebrity gossip outlets.
“We all know not to believe anything that the media writes or blogs,” Bow Wow wrote. “It’s their job to entertain the minds of the simple minded.” Deep.
He urged fans to ignore the report and turn their attention to the release of his now delayed album Underrated. Gotta pay down those debts somehow!
“Stay away from them damn blogs its bad for your health,” he then wrote.
“Remember Ima always keep it 100 with yall and let yall know the real on anything I got going on even if its bad if it’s the truth I'll own up to it.”
It's true. He proved it when he admitted fatherhood and suicidal thoughts.

Bow Wow Admits to Fatherhood, Teases Suicide, Keeps "Batteling Life"
Bow Wow is a father.
The rapper made this admission in a rambling note on his official website, going into detail about why he kept the truth of his three-year old daughter, Shia, from fans and even saying he contemplated suicide at one point.
"For the past 3 years i been batteling life," Bow Wow says. "Even thought about taking my own. I felt like as a kid i did everything and saw everything too fast which spoiled my adult years. I felt as if i had no purpose to live(Thinking selfishly) until god gave me the illest gift of my life. No lambo, no blk card nuffn ammounts to my lil girl...
"I waited so long to tell yall the truth because i was nervous on how yall would look at me."
The mother of Bow Wow's child is reportedly named Joie Chavis. Below, we've posted more thoughts from this artist on fatherhood and neva trippin about baby mama BS...
Chris Brown: I Ain't a Monsta
Chris Brown took a break from chilling with Usher and being a complete tool to set the record straight, sort of, on pal Bow Wow's justin.tv channel.
The unintentionally funny video kicks off with a plug. His new album is called Graffiti, and a new single drops this summer, so "be ready for dat."
Then comes this disclaimer about the haters: "Everybody that’s haters, they just been haters. All my real fans, I love you all. I ain’t a monster."
The L.A. District Attorney's office, if it ever tries the star on the felony assault and criminal threats charges he faces, will ultimately decide that.
Still no apology or real explanation on why he went Pitbull on Rihanna that night in February, but here's Chris Brown's lame video shout-out ...
It gets better still. In a second video, Brown calls celebrity gossip blogs liars for saying he had a black eye recently. (As for Rihanna's battered face, after he beat her brains out, leaving her unconscious in a car, Chris conveniently had no comment).
The insightful transcript of the second clip:
Chris Brown: All the blog sites are liars. You guys lie. [points to face] No black eyes! You guys are liars.
Bow Wow: Liars, Liars, Liars! Yeeeeeah!
Amazingly, Brown may actually be a bigger moron than previously thought. His lawyer is surely going to be thrilled about this awesome declaration.
