Method Man is blaming his love of weed for the recent repossession of his 2008 Lincoln Navigator due to unpaid back taxes.
The rapper owes $52,503 on his New York income taxes. The state Department of Taxation showed up at his Staten Island home at 6 a.m. March 19 with “four NYPD cops and the repo team,” Meth told the New York Daily News.
“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”]," he said. "I was half-dressed, and it was so early that I just said, ‘Okay, you're taking the truck. ... Aight.'”
So how could he allow himself to fall so far behind?
“Myself, I'm a pothead,” he explains on the set of a video shoot for his new album, “Blackout 2,” with Redman. “It's no secret. Everyone knows that. I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, [the tax department] sent letters to my house saying, ‘We need this money.' They started sending them in 2002. Here it is, 2009, and I never paid this s*** because I don't think like that!”
“I could have easily just written them a check for whatever amount, but no — I waited until they knocked on this door and were like, ‘We got your truck and we outta here,'” he laughed. “Now I'm thinking we've gotta get our truck back, which means I have to get all my paperwork together. That means days of going through mail, 'cause I got mail like woah. I've found checks from 2005 that have never been opened yet. And we're talking a significant amount of money! But I never opened [the tax department's] letters ... so this is how the tax man came to Meth's house and took his truck. Not because I was broke! I got plenty of money!”
