Default Lauryn Hill jailed for tax evasion



Quote:
Singer Lauryn Hill has been sentenced in the US state of New Jersey to three months in jail for tax evasion.

The Grammy-winning singer, 37, also faces three months of home confinement, after pleading guilty last year.

Hill failed to pay taxes on about $1.8m (£1.2m) of earnings between 2005-07.

In a statement to the judge, Hill said she had intended to pay the taxes but could not after withdrawing from public life and ending her music career to raise her children.

Hill has six children, five of whom she had with Rohan Marley, the son of Bob Marley.

"I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them," Hill said in court. "I had an economic system imposed on me."

Hill started her career with Grammy-award winning hip-hop group Fugees alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel.

She released her acclaimed solo debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, in 1998. It won five Grammy awards and sold more than 19 million copies worldwide.

I don't go in the music section a lot so maybe other members are the same...no harm in having a thread for it anyway.

What do you mean Shaun, I wasn't being touchy at all?

I had a look and the thread you posted it in was in the same thread about her new single unless I'm reading the title wrong..so I don't see why theres a problem with having this thread in the celebrity news section?

The taxman found her, and echoed some of her own words...apart from the last...
