DMX charged with tax evasion, faces more than 40 years in prison

Rapper Earl Simmons popularly known as DMX has just being slapped with 14 counts of tax evasion.

He yesterday turned himself in to law enforcement for failing to pay $1.7 million in taxes from 2002 to 2005.

According to the New York Daily News:

“For years, Earl Simmons, the recording artist and performer known as DMX, made millions from his chart-topping songs, concert performances and television shows.
But while raking in millions from his songs, including his 2003 hit ‘X Gon’ Give it to Ya,’ DMX didn’t give any of it to the IRS.
Far from it, DMX allegedly went out of his way to evade taxes, including by avoiding personal bank accounts, setting up accounts in other’s names and paying personal expenses largely in cash,” Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim said in a statement.
“He even allegedly refused to tape the television show ‘Celebrity Couples Therapy’ until a properly issued check he was issued was reissued without withholding any taxes.
Celebrity rapper or not, all Americans must pay their taxes, and together with our partners at the IRS, we will pursue those who deliberately and criminally evade this basic obligation of citizenship.”
Prosecutors said the rapper, 46, primarily used cash for years and avoided using his personal bank account, even going as far as to deposit his royalties into his manager’s account.

DMX also allegedly lied in bankruptcy court documents about his income from 2011 to 2013.

The rapper, who was charged with 14 counts, is due in court Friday.

Escandell posted a picture of herself as she advised women that it is not hygienic for them to wear their braziers more than once. She said:

“I never wear bra again after wearing it once. I wonder how women wash and re-wash one bra. That’s cheap and gross! Braziers were meant to be worn once and then discarded. If you don’t have 365 braziers in your closet for the whole year like I do, then you are not a complete woman! Yes…..I said it”

Teenage Boko Haram member confesses to killing 18 people

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) on Tuesday paraded a 17-year-old Boko Haram suspect, who admitted killing 18 people since he joined the group three years ago.

The suspect, Ali Mustafa, said he was forced to join the deadly group when Boko Haram terrorists attacked his village in Monguno and left with many boys.

The teenager said he gained skill handling assault rifles, with which he executed his victims.
“I was forced to join Boko Haram about three years ago,” he said.

“Boko Haram insurgents came to our village and forcefully took many of us away. We were kept in the bush camp near Kala Balge and from there we carried out various operations, during which I personally killed 18 persons.
I can handle all kinds of guns including AK-47 and AA (anti aircraft) rifle.
The boy said his last mission was to go to Maiduguri to spy for his group, as he often did before attacks were carried out. He said he decided to change his mind on the way to Maiduguri.
I was tired of killing people against my wish, so I told my two other colleagues with whom we were asked to go on a spying mission that we should abandon the mission and run.
So I came to Maiduguri to search for my parents in the camps. But some IDPs who knew me as member of Boko Haram decided to report me to the security people,” he said.

The teenager, who looked unkempt, said he belonged to the Mamman Nur group of Boko Haram.
He said there were hundreds of young boys like him currently in the bush working for Boko Haram.
The Commandant of NSCDC, Ibrahim Abdullahi, paraded the young boy alongside other nine criminals who were arrested for other offences.

He said the young man had initially denied being a member of Boko Haram.

“But after a thorough interrogation he gave up his denial and confessed to be a Boko Haram member and that he had carried out many execution of innocent persons,” he said.
