JA RULE SENTENCED FOR TAX CHARGES

Tax evasion charges send Rapper Ja Rule away for a minute!

Earlier today, the 35 year old, Hip-Hop star and actor, born Jeffrey Atkins, was sentenced to 28 months, in prison for failing to pay more than $1 million in taxes.

Rule is already serving a two year stint on a weapons conviction in New York.

According to the U.S Attorney’s Office in New Jersey, the two terms will run concurrently!

In March, Rule plead guilty, to three counts, for failure to file tax returns.

Prosecutors say, the “Always on Time” lyricist did not pay taxes from 2004 to 2008, costing the U.S Government more than $1.1 million.

“Taxpayers do not have the luxury of deciding whether to comply with laws,” U.S. Judge Patty Shwartz said on Monday in delivering the sentence.

SMH!!!
