Method Man blames financial troubles on weed

Method Man, whose marijuana use is well documented, has hit a new high in his weed career. According to a UK publication, the rapper/actor is in financial trouble, and claims his addiction to marijuana is responsible.

The 'How High' star, also known as Tical, which is slang for weed, was apparently unfazed when New York state tax collectors showed up at his Staten Island home and seized his 2008 Lincoln Navigator, in lieu of more than $50,000 which he owes the government in back taxes.

"I knew why they (the repossession officers) were there." Meth told the Daily News, "It wasn't like 'Oh my God! Noo!! Don't take it!' I was half-dressed, and it was so early that I just said, 'Okay, you're taking the truck.'"

The Wu-Tang Clan star, born Clifford Smith, denies being in financial trouble, insisting that he intends to pay the taxes he owes in full, and blames the repossession on a memory lapse inspired by marijuana usage.
"Myself, I'm a pothead." Meth admits. "It's no secret. Everyone knows that. I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, (the tax department) sent letters to my house saying, 'We need this money.' They started sending them in 2002. Here it is, 2009, and I never paid this s---, because I don't think like that! I could have easily just written them a check for whatever amount, but no -- I waited until they knocked on this door and were like, 'We got your truck and we outta here!'"

Method Man continued his defense by citing the sheer amount of mail he receives as an excuse for failing to pay the government.

"Now I'm thinking 'We've gotta get our truck back!' which means I have to get all my paperwork together. That means days of going through mail, 'cause I got mail like woah. I've found checks from 2005 that have never been opened yet. And we're talking a significant amount of money! But I never opened (the tax department's) letters -- so this is how the tax man came to Meth's house and took his truck. Not because I was broke! I got plenty of money!"

This finally answers Meth's infamous question in his hit song "How High." The answer being, obviously, high enough to forget to pay his taxes and lose his truck.

Not much compassion for a guy who's literally sold 10's of millions of records, had his own movie series, tv series, commercials not to mention the grip of money he's made over since 1993 touring, publishing and whatever guest spots he's done.

Without exaggerating and if I took into account any shady business RZA might have done, it's still hard to believe that Method Man did not net over 50 million dollars throughout his rap career.

you're reading it wrong gloss, he isn't broke, he just forgot to pay the bill cause he was high. happens all the time

Yeah, maybe. I just can't see him with a net worth in excess of $50,000,000. Regardless of who you are you know your shit isn't in order financially when the state shows up on your front lawn to seize your property. I'd even wager that his financial situation is far more precarious than he or the article leads you to believe.

Any competent accountant/business manager would have been on top of this menial book keeping.

i dont think he has a net work of 5M, i'm saying he's had to clear 50M during his entire career when you factor in everything.

Yeah, Method Man is cooler than you. Deal with it or

.

You clearly think it's profoundly cool to be a complete fucking waste-of-space, shit-stained loser approaching thirty constantly on the verge of being without water, gas or electricity because you're a crazy rebel dude who smokes way too much weed.

The last thing an amoeba like you has to worry about is a tax collector. I'm sure the $6.50 you earned last year from record sales is high on their list of priorities.

Didn't say he's savvy but if somebody is kind enough to provide all the sales on every

release and every solo project Method Man has done that is about 40% of his earnings. He tours an awful lot and if I had to guess he got paid 1M for that network sitcom. His movies, commercials and publishing is an added bonus.
