Uncle Sam is calling on Doug E. Fresh for back taxes owed. That’s because according to the Detroit News, the genius behind the Dougie owes $2,276,848 million in back taxes. The government wants his money, hence the IRS filed a lien against Fresh with the New York City register’s office in October (and then they hit their Dougie).
Via Pop Eater:
Fresh, born Douglas E. Davis, has been in tax trouble before. In 2008, he was sought for $367,000 in delinquent tax payments. Yet despite his financial issues, the 44-year-old has delved into other business ventures outside the music industry, opening a restaurant in Harlem last month.
The eatery, Doug E’s, was met with criticism after its opening was delayed by two years. Doug E’s, located in Harlem, specializes in a variety of fast food options, including waffles and fried chicken.
