How High? Too High To Pay Taxes: Method Man Loses '08 Navigator to IRS
As tax season closes upon us all like a venomus vice of snakes, it’s nice to know rappers have the same problems we have. Wu-Tang member Clifford Smith, aka M-E-T-H-O-D, MAN owes $52,503 to the State of New York in back taxes, so the state sent four NYPD officers and a repo team, nabbing Method’s 2008 Lincoln Navigator. UPI reported the news March 19, and the NY Daily News followed March 22. Click the headline to read, the best quotes below:
“I knew why they were there. It wasn’t like ‘Oh my God! Noo!! Don’t take it!’ like it is on that TV show [“Operation Repo”]. Iwas half-dressed, and it was so early that I just said, ‘Okay, you’re taking the truck. ... Aight.’”“Myself, I’m a pothead … It’s no secret. Everyone knows that.”
“I never paid this s— because I don’t think like that!...
“I never opened [the tax department’s] letters.”
“I got mail like woah.”
“Because I got high, I forgot to pay. It was stupid. I’m an idiot for that.”
