The rapper’s lawyer confirmed via email Monday that Hill paid more than $970,000 to satisfy tax liabilities.
Lauryn Hill pled guilty to tax evasion last year and her attorney claims she has since paid more than $970,000 to satisfy what she owed. However, a judge stated two weeks ago that the rapper has only paid $50,000.
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to three months in prison for failing to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings.
She was also sentenced Monday in Newark to three additional months of homeconfinement.
The 37-year-old South Orange resident pleaded guilty last year in the case.
During a forceful statement to the judge, Hill explained she had always meant to eventually pay the taxes but was unable to during a period of time when she dropped out of the music business.
Before the sentencing, her attorney had said Hill had paid more than $970,000 to satisfy the state and federal tax liabilities.
Hill had faced a maximum sentence of one year each on three counts. Her attorney had sought probation.
It’s not clear when or where she’d report to prison.
