(AllHipHop News) Jailed rap mogul Suge Knight is facing a $3.3 million tax bill from California and U.S. federal authorities.
Knight, who is currently incarcerated in Los Angeles County Jail facing a murder charge over an alleged hit-and-run incident, is now facing two tax liens, according to documents.
Agents for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accuse the former Death Row Records boss, 52, of owing a total of $3.3 million; $3.28 million in federal taxes, and $44,600 to the state of California.
His alleged debts relate to the years 1997 to 2000 and from 2011 to 2013.
Knight, a leading figure in the gangsta rap movement of the 1990s, is set to stand trial in the coming months over the alleged 2015 hit-and-run incident in a Los Angeles car park.
He is accused of running down Terry Carter and Cle ‘Bone’ Sloan in an LA parking lot after an alleged altercation near the set of the N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton.”
Carter was killed but Sloan survived his injuries. If convicted of murder Knight faces life in prison.
Knight has pleaded not guilty to a felony count of making death threats against the filmmaker.
