The rapper reportedly is in the hole for $224,845 in state income taxes. His attorney, Murray Richman, said that they expected New York state would file a lien against DMX. However, he didn’t share any details surrounding the actual scenario.
“Earl is doing really well,” Richman told the website. “He’s been working on a documentary. While everybody has been down, he’s been working in Tennessee… He’s a terrific guy, love him.”
