Rapper Tweets Christmas Tax Woes

Bay Area rapper Kreayshawn tweeted out her tax troubles after discovering that the Internal Revenue Service had apparently cleaned out her bank reports.

“Can’t believe the day came. The IRS wiped my whole bank account clean. 4 days before X-mas. I’m completely devastated,” she tweeted, according to a report from The Source.

She claimed that she had given her accountant money to pay her taxes, but that he had kept the money.

“I did ‘pay my taxes’ accept (sic) instead of my accountant paying them he took the money for taxes and never filed and robbed me,” Kreayshawn tweeted yesterday, according to The Source, and later added, “So now I have to pay taxes from 2011 now. My current lawyer said we’d work out a payment plan. But I woke up to my acct on 0 w/no warning.”

The tweets are no longer on the rapper’s Twitter feed (@kreayshawn), but this is: “Had to delete those tweets because it's painful seeing people laugh at my misfortune and devastation.”

Reports on VladTV noted that Kreayshawn’s accountant had been previously sued by R&B singer Ne-Yo for $8 million.
