“For years, Earl Simmons, the recording artist and performer known as DMX, made millions from his chart-topping songs, concert performances and television shows,” a New York state attorney said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “But while raking in millions from his songs, including his 2003 hit \u2018X Gon\u2019 Give it to Ya,\u2019 DMX didn\u2019t give any of it to the IRS. Far from it, DMX allegedly went out of his way to evade taxes, including by avoiding personal bank accounts, setting up accounts in other\u2019s names and paying personal expenses largely in cash.”<\/p>\n DMX “orchestrated a scheme” to evade payment of his taxes “largely by maintaining a cash lifestyle, avoiding the use of a personal bank account, and using the bank accounts of nominees, including his business managers, to pay personal expenses,” acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “Celebrity rapper or not, all Americans must pay their taxes, and together with our partners at the IRS, we will pursue those who deliberately and criminally evade this basic obligation of citizenship,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n
