Beanie Sigel Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison For Tax Evasion




Beanie Sigel will be spending the next two years in prison for failing to pay more than $728,000 in federal income taxes according to MyFoxPhilly.



The Philadelphia born rapper whose real name is Dwight Grant, earned more than $3.2 million between 1999 and 2005, but only paid $10,000 in taxes.



Sigel pleaded guilty to the charge on Aug. 9, 2011. He was sentenced earlier today.



U.S. District Court Judge Jan E. Dubois ordered Sigel to pay all taxes, penalties, and interest as determined by the Internal Revenue Service and to fully cooperate with the IRS. He must report to prison on September 12th.
