You would have thought that we would never hear about MC Hammer in money troubles again….but here we are. From TMZ:
MC Hammer just got touched in a big way by Uncle Sam … for failing to pay almost $800K in back taxes … according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The Feds sued Hammer, née Stanley K. Burrell, and his wife Stephanie … accusing them of stiffing the IRS to the tune of $798,033.48 on his ’96 and ’97 income taxes.
Mind you, Hammer’s heyday was in the rear view mirror at that point — he released a greatest hits album in ’96, and after that … well, let’s just say there were zero pumps or bumps.
And get this … according to the docs, every red cent Hammer’s LLC earns from now on has to go directly to the U.S. treasury to pay down his tab.
