Detroit News' Tax Watchdog blog were one of the first to discover, where metro reporter Robert Snell scours public records and reports details on famous people with big tax bills.

Nas has had tax troubles for some time, with the IRS filing liens in 2009 for over $3 million dollars, and in 2010 for another hefty some of money.

The IRS filed a $514,298 lien against the Queens, NY rapper on January 10th with the New York City Register of Deeds.

Although Nas's child and spousal support payments were both cut in half to around $5,000 and $20,000 a month, it looks like Nas will always be owing somebody money.

As previously reported, the mother of baby Knight took him to court for spousal and child support claiming the lavish lifestyle she grew accustomed to had to be maintained. Now his soon to be ex-wife's askings in his earnings seems meager compared to what the government's demanding.

According to reports, Nas owes ‘The Man' over $2 million in unpaid taxes, $2,584,206 million to be exact. The Internal revenue service is set to take him to court for the back pay later this year.

In the meantime he'll empty out his wallet to Kelis who recieves over$44,000 a month in child support and legal fees. Although they've been seen together and look to be reconciling, their final divorce proceeding will be November 20.  

Damn Nas, $2.5 million in taxes. What's with everyone “forgetting” to pay their taxes?
