Swizz Beatz talks about the $98,000 lien filed against him in 2010.
Swizz Beatz found himself in a bad light this week after TMZ unearthed documents
claiming that New York State filed a lien against him for $98,000 in
unpaid taxes. After providing documents to clear up the issue, Swizzy
stopped by Power 105's The Breakfast Club to talk about the situation,
stating that he had tax issues in the past but that he's learned from
his mistakes and has better fiscal responsibility.
"Say I owed $10 million. Don't say I owed $100,000. The story was
about a $98,000 lien. I see where they got that from. I'm not going to
say I never had tax problems. '06, '07, I had tax problems. It was like,
whatever," he said. "As you get older, you know how to maintain your
funds, maintain your businesses. I'm involved with next-level businesses
across seas, this that and the third. It's like, you've gotta know how
to graduate those things when you're dealing with these people. This
can't be coming up. When you're doing business, everybody know
everything. They know who's who and what's what, what you make and how
you doing. These people are billionaires. For me to be in that lane, I
have to be responsible anyways."
