R. Kelly Owes Millions In Back Taxes? Releasing Memoir

By

According to TMZ, the federal government is gunning for R. Kelly … for failing to pay a whopping $4.8 million in back taxes!


TMZ reported that according to documents filed by the IRS, Kelly owes money on his taxes going way back to 2005. It breaks down like this …

2005 – $1,472,366.77
2006 – $710,520.51
2007 – $376,180.11
2008 – $1,122,694.90
2009 – $173,815.18

    After the sales of the “Write Me Back” Albums and “Soulacoaster Memoir” I Feel $4.5 Milllion, will be just a drop in the bucket for the Music President! I’m a true Die Hard Fan/Supporter of Robert, & I’m very Happy that he has Bounced Back like Round Ball! His surgery and other issues, were just a Set Back, for a Big Comback! *KING! (=
