Popular dancehall artiste Moses ‘Beenie Man’ Davis appeared in court on Tuesday to answer to charges of tax evasion.
However, Beenie’s attorney was not present, as he was said to be at another court hearing. Therefore, Beenie Man is expected to return to the Tax Court in Kingston for a trial date on March 25.
The ‘Doctor’ reportedly owes the Government $29.29 million in back taxes and $18.64 million in penalties, bringing the outstanding amount to $47.93 million. When he last appeared before the court, the deejay said he was not aware that he had outstanding payments, and said his management team was responsible for such business.

In December, Wu-Tang Clan co-founder the GZA had vocally criticized the state of Hip Hop, by accusing 50 Cent that he doesn’t have lyrics, and not supporting the present trend, including Soulja Boy. “He ain’t shit,” said the GZA before a London audience. Shortly after, the clip aired on YouTube, something the GZA predicted in the clip.
In an editorial with Rhapsody.com, Soulja Boy responded to the criticism from The Genius. “I wouldn’t even rap against the Genius. I’d put up someone who was born in ’66 to go against the Genius so it can be a tie. He’s got like 50 years on me. I wouldn’t even associate with the Genius. [In the video] he was looking like I stole his money or something. He’s in Alaska. He’s cold.” According to records, GZA was indeed born in 1966, making him presently 41 years old.
