Despite the fact she paid off most of the $1 million she owed in back taxes, Lauryn Hill will be spending 3 months in a federal prison, then 3 months on house arrest, and THEN 9 months on supervised release for the charges. The judge basically threw the book at the hip-hop legend.
L Boogie has to report to prison by July 8th.
“I was put into a system I didn’t know the nature of. I’m a child of former slaves. I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed on me,” Lauryn said in a statement following the sentencing. “I sold 50 million units…now I’m up here paying a tax debt. If that’s not likened to slavery, I don’t know what is.” So sad!
