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.
