R&B crooner and Grammy-Award winning R. Kelly had better “step in the name of the IRS” quickly! The feds are after the performer because they claim he owes them a whopping $4.8 million in back taxes. Kelly, whose actual name is Robert Kelly, has reportedly been delinquent in filing his taxes since 2005!
A rep for the singer said, “R. Kelly is in the process of working everything out with the government and is confident that all his obligations will be satisfied.”
The total amount of monies reportedly owed to the Uncle Sam is $4,848,072.71.
After taking some time off to recover from emergency throat surgery last year,the singer’s 11th studio album, Write Me Back (a follow up to 2010’s Love Letter), hits stores June 26.
