MC Hammer's tax problems continue, even eighteen years after he famously filed for bankruptcy and lost all his master recordings in the process. We reported last December that the rapper owed almost $800,000 in taxes to the IRS, 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 from the MC.
