Fat Joe is currently under fire for faulty management regarding his tax payments. While Joe claims that he has already paid back the $700,000 in tax money that he owed in 2007 and 2008, he is still facing up to two years in prison as a possible consequence for not handling his money better.
Joe spoke out on the situation and said that he feels as though artists who owe money shouldn't always be the ones held responsible in the eyes of the law. According to Joe he feels as though the accountants should be held at least partially responsible for mishandling the artist's money.
"At the end of the day, I'm paying all the money back that's owed — actually I have and I'ma just go like a man, stand up. You gotta understand we hire guys who are supposed have Harvard degrees to take care of us. All the time you see artists, the first thing they did to you when you caught money was introduce you to a bunch of fancy guys with bow ties who are gonna take care of your money and all that and then you always see an artist or a celebrity or somebody like that goin' down for it and these guys never go down for it."
