Legal trouble is once again surrounding Philly rhyme spitter Beanie Sigel. Beans is facing criminal charges stemming from his failure to file income taxes in the early 2000's. Philadelphia Federal prosecutors claims that the rapper, born Dwight Grant, made 1.5 million from 2002 to 2004 but filed no tax returns.
Sigel pled guilty to the charges of tax fraud last August and this past Thursday (April 12) his sentencing hearing was postponed to July 12.
The rapper is facing up to 36 months, but for now "The Broad Street Bully" can enjoy his freedom.

And before the "we are the world" uncle toms jump on saying "yo it aint about race dawg". It really isn't , just seems odd that they have been a lot of brown skin men getting bagged by IRS.
