Rapper Nas, who has a home in the Eagle’s Landing subdivision south of Atlanta, owes more than $6 million in back taxes, according to the Detroit News’ Tax Watchdog blog, where metro reporter Robert Snell scours public records and reports details on famous people with big tax bills.

Here’s a link to the Tax Watchdog blog. Follow it on Twitter here.

Nas has had tax troubles for some time, with the IRS filing liens in 2009, 2010 and most recently, on Jan. 10. The address on the oldest lien was the property in Eagle’s Landing.

Incidentally, the Eagle’s Landing community is also where the home of rapper Waka Flocka Flame was recently raided; Henry County authorities discovered two guns and a small amount of marijuana. Here’s the link to that story.

Nas also owns property in New York. The managers of his Queens condo building filed a lien last fall and said he had not paid the $420 monthly assessment since January 2010, according to Tax Watchdog.

Nas need a better accountant. He be paying too much tax—rich rappers hire the right people and pay little tax.
