Add Birdman to the long list of rappers who have had issues with the IRS in the past, as the Cash Money leader recently had to fork over some serious bank to the government. In total, Baby was forced to pay back a total of $2 million in back taxes from two federal tax liens that were brought against him in 2014 and 2015.

According to TMZ, after the government threatened to take away some of Baby's property and assets, he quickly paid off the debt and settled up with the IRS. While Birdman was quick to pay off his tax issues, he is still facing a lofty legal battle with Lil Wayne, who is seeking compensation from Baby and the label for his past work, and specifically on Tha Carter V, which the label has refused to release to this point.
