The financial hits just keep on coming for rapper Flo Rida, known for hits “Whistle” and “How I Feel” among others. Not only is he still in debt to the federal government, he owes the IRS $1.2 million after already paying them a cool mil last year, but he recently just gave away $170K for a house he never really bought in a real estate scheme.
Tramar Dillard, better known by his hip-hop monicker Flo Rida, needs a financial advisor.
The star has been embroiled in tax controversies for years now, but thought he had settled everything with a million dollar check he made out last year.
Not so, says the IRS. Dillard still owes at least twice that according to OK! Magazine:
“The Internal Revenue Service says the 34-year-old rapper from Carol City, Fla., owe them $1,197,655 in unpaid taxes for 2009, 2010 and 2011.”
To add insult to injury, he recently lost some of the money he desperately needs to pay Uncle Sam to a bad investment, bad as the “sellers” and his logic were bad.
According to TMZ, Dillard’s mistake was giving a stranger $170,000 without taking the time to ask to fill out some paper work:
“Flo Rida got taken for a Rida--at least according to new court docs--the rapper claims he forked over $170,000 to purchase a house in the Sunshine State...Flo claims he attempted to purchase the home from Florida couple Pierre and Marie Malette in 2009...but the deal never closed. Flo claims he handed over the money as a down payment, but the Malettes never signed over the house.”
Can you get a deduction for that?
