The singer’s properties have been hit with liens, according to court records after Studdard reportedly failed to make payments dating to 2003.

Filmmaker finds funds in Dubai
Filmmaker Spike Lee says the Middle Eastern territory of Dubai is good for more than providing Michael Jackson refuge outside the region in November to scout financial resources. “There is a ton of money in Dubai, so I’ve gotta get on a plane. I gotta start making connections,” Lee tells Emirates Business. “I don’t want to be in a position where if I want to do a film and the Hollywood studios don’t want to make it, then it doesn’t get made. I gotta know that ‘no’ can’t be a final ‘no.’ I gotta go to other sources of finance.” Lee says credit for bankrolling movies in America is drying up. The director has been a pioneer among contemporary independent Black filmmakers since the late 1980s.

I am so excited to see black filmmakers on the rise. Black actors and actresses need more quality work, and minorities need more experience in the film industry. And it is refreshing to see blacks in roles other than being pimps, hoes, and drug dealers.
Blacks can really entertain, and entertainment is where the money is. It is time for blacks to take more control over their destiny.
Hey Ruben, who’s your accountant? Stevie Wonder, man take care of your own finances! Why you think 50 cent is so paid………..
Ruben get back into the studio. Spike don’t ever stop making real movies.
So Ruben owes $200K, so what. There are thousands of tax paying folks out there that owe many more times what he owes. This is not news.
Why is it that so many of our Black celebrities are getting caught up in not paying taxes? Everybody knows that if you work (whatever your work is) you pay. Kenny G said his father made him get an education before he let him play and perform so that he could keep track of his own business. Even if you let someone else handle your business, at least you shoud know what’s going on.
