If you’re a Method Man stan and want the man’s autograph, guard your gut!

Don’t believe me? Ask Mary Anderson.

The Houston native says while she waited outside of a tour bus for Meth to sign her concert ticket, he pulled out a pellet gun and shot her six times.

In her complaint filed in a Harris County court, Anderson says she “received no warnings prior to this incident and was without fault when the rapper [nee, Clifford Smith] fired pellets into a crowd and struck Anderson in the torso.”

Really, dude? Is shooting pellets into someone’s stomach what’s hot in the streets now?

Anderson says she suffered multiple injuries to her stomach and chest that required medical treatment. She’s seeking punitive damages for assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and gross negligence.

And I’m sure a free signed copy of Method Man and Redman’s new album – minus the pain, of course.

For any of you who still want his autograph, I suggest you try eBay.

So while the likes of hip-hop’s Ren & Stimpy (Method Man and Redman to ya’ll) declare war on purported trife and lazy women over Nas paying a grip in child support, it seems the man himself isn’t all that worried about the excessive amount.

Why? Because that’s the figure he proposed himself.

That is, according to his lawyer.

On the $55,000 per month Nas has to hand over to Kelis every month in child support and alimony, his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told OK! Magazine: “This is the exact same amount that my client offered to pay from the beginning.”

Suddenly “You Owe Me” is playing in my head.

Now, he could be lying to save face, but if true, does that mean everyone will stop taking shots at Kelis for getting that money if Nas is the one handing it out?

Haven’t we all learned by now that the IRS doesn’t play when it comes to getting their money (Exhibit A: Wesley Snipes and Ron Isley)?  Apparently not.

According to the Detroit News the state of California filed a $3,594,409 lien against Chris Tucker last week for four years worth of unpaid taxes!  No wonder we haven’t seen him around lately, he’s probably busy ducking the tax folks like their name was Big Worm.

Chris hit a career jackpot with the Rush Hour franchise pulling in $20 million a flick, so not really sure what the problem is but considering  the state of California is in a $31 billion debt crisis you know the “Governator” Arnold Schwarzenegger and his people will be back for those ends.

Diddy also owes the IRS back taxes, reports DrewReports.com, though his amount is much smaller at $7,373. Apparently back in 2007 Sean underpaid the federal tax for his Atlanta branch of Justin’s restaurant. Diddy’s people say that it was an address mishap and the IRS was mailing the business papers to an address that the producer hasn’t used in 10 years (right, because snail mail is the only way that the IRS gets in touch with folks?).  Diddy’s reps also say that when he found out about the debt he wrote a check for the amount which should be arriving to the IRS “shortly.” Until that check is signed, sealed, delivered and cashed (hopefully it’s not of the rubber variety), I’m sure the IRS won’t be too impressed with that statement.

Why do celebrities, think that they can escape paying taxes with some having the audacity to let the debt roll on for years (Exhibit B: Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown,  Method Man, Robin Givens, Xhibit, Ruben Studdard, Damon Dash, the list goes on)?  If you have time to brag about your bankroll, party about town, go on shopping sprees and vacations you have the time to dial up your accountant and settle your debt by April 15th.  Priorities people!

While Nas is probably off somewhere quietly hurting because of the crazy sum of money he was recently ordered to pay Kelis,  Method Man and Redman were very vocal about the whole debacle!  The two rappers visited EZ Street of WKYS and went in once they were told the amount that Nas would have to cough up. Here’s what they had to say:

“….I don’t know the ends and outs of their relationship but as far as speaking for men in general…. 50 grand a month for some p-ssy is some bullsh-t. Ladies for real all you did was f-ck your man. That money right there? A kid doesn’t need that much to survive. You trying to maintain your life style. That’s f-cked up. I want to see the shoe on the other foot…If we don’t nip this sh-t in the bud right now and have the court system seeing sh-t for what it actually is. If you ask me the court system is geared more towards the women than the men.”

“What the kids don’t understand is the air they breathing. The lights. The cable. The Mortgage. All that fall on Daddy’s shoulders. Not to mention he has to pay this stanking a– b-tch that he don’t even f-ck with anymore to look good for some other n-gga. This sh-t is crazy to me and any chick that does that sh-t is foul.”

Tell ‘em why you mad son!

For all those who have argued that Kelis deserves the money for her son:  actually according to court reports, baby Knight Jones will only get $9,027 per month.  Where’s the rest of the $55K going to?  Well Kelis will receive $30,471 a month in spousal support and Nas will continue to pay the couple’s mortgage until it is decided what will happen with their house. In addition to all that Nas will have to cough up $45,000 for both Kelis’ attorney fees and for a forensic accountant, cost incurred during the whole money argument that has spanned the last few months!

Poor Nas. Hope he was serious when he said all he needs is one mic (that might be about all he can afford at the end of each month after Kelis rings him dry). At least he’s still got some friends in his corner too.

There are two people in this world you ought to fear: God and the IRS. Although the Old Testament is pretty scary, trust me when I say the great flood can’t hurt you more than a tax lien.

The M-e-t-h-o-d Man is the most recent celebrity to face the wrath of Uncle Sam. The New York Post reported that the state of New York sent the repo man to collect Meth’s 2008 Lincoln Navigator because he owes $52,503 in personal income taxes. They reportedly seized the car at 6 a.m. 

Why don’t rappers pay their taxes? First Lil’ Kim and now Method Man. Do they not realize the hip-hop fans work for the IRS, too. You can’t brag about your wealth and not except the government to collect.

Let this be a lesson to you: Pay your taxes or find somewhere to hide your car. 

Remember these cats? Well, Method Man and Redman certainly recall the good times they had with you in the late 90s. As a show of just how badly they wanna reacquaint with fans Read the rest of this entry »
