Quickies: Kanye vs. Paparazzi Round ?, Nas Loses a House, Young Dro Owes Uncle Sam
Posted by Mikey Fresh under headcrack[11] Comments
Aside from the Gucci and Jeezy man’s reignited beef causing commotion in Atlanta, there wasn’t a whole lot of big news in the hip-hop world. Though there were a few random missteps from the artists we love. Last night, Kanye almost had another pap-camera-smashing incident after a dinner with Kim at Prime 112. Apparently, the female photographer asked ‘Ye if he thanked Reggie Bush on his first baby, before he tried to grab the camera from her hands. Another thirsty pap caught the flick.
Check out more of this week’s rapper misfortunes after the jump…
It looks like Nas just lost a fine piece of Georgia real estate…
According to official records, Nas purchased the 2-bedroom, 3-bath pad back in 2004 for $585,000 … but according to SunTrust bank (which issued him the loan) … Nas couldn’t foot the bill and defaulted on the payments, still owing $507,000.
SunTrust recently foreclosed on the property and then sold it to the highest bidder at public auction last month for $348,500 … WAY LESS than the rapper paid eight years ago. (via TMZ)
Uncle Sam claims another rap victim….
Accusation: Failed to pay $45,139.99 in taxes to the state of Georgia back in 2007 … according to official docs filed with the GA Dept. of Revenue. Dro JUST had his bad ass Maserati repo’d 4 months ago after allegedly defaulting on the payments. Damn shame. (via TMZ)
Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul also learned about the ways of the NYPD this weekend…
During a search, DJ Paul informed the officer that he had a taser in his pocket.
The officer handed the taser to an assisting officer, who accidentally discharged the taser.
As DJ Paul was being booked, police officers allegedly took photos with him and singing the chorus to his hit single 2005 single “Stay Fly” featuring Young Buck and Eightball & MJG.

Financial literacy is needed in hip hop. How does Young Dro have a Maserati? Is he nuts? Everyone can have financial ups and downs,up but cars and kids are killers to your portfolio.

Well, when you are making a decent amount from shows, and other money when you are hot, a $1,600mo car payment doesn’t sound outrageous.

this is ridiculous, i dont get how these rappers can’t even keep up with payments. dnt they have meetings with their accountants. Especially nas, who i saw perform in london @ the oxyo gave a mediocre performance and it just seemed like he was doin it for the cash…i digress, these rappers need to stay on top of their finances smh

Some people let homes go into default when they know they’re worth less than what they paid. I’m not saying thats what Nas did, but its cheaper than paying 500k on a house thats worth 300k
