Flavor Flav (William Jonathan Drayton Jr.) who is a member of Public Enemy, also a TV star has been hit with an IRS tax lien for owing the state of California over $183K in back taxes.
Flavor Flav is known for yelling “yeah boy” and “Flavor FLAV” during on stage performances of his rap group. He also stands because he always wears a clock around his neck.
Flav has also been a part of several reality shows, including Flavor of Love, The Surreal Life and Strange Love.
This is not the first Rap Star or celebrity to fall into trouble with back taxes. Recently, Method Man and Nas were reported to owe back taxes as well. This seems to be an on going problem with many famous people who have been failing to pay their taxes.
