Grammy-winning rapper Method Man has been arrested in New York City on felony charges for failing to pay his taxes.So Meth pulled a Wesley Snipes. Man, when did not paying your taxes become badass? If I had known, I would have given up smoking, wearing leather jackets, shooting people in the face, disrespecting women, doing X, going to raves and beating up nerds a long time ago and just started defrauding the country - then people would look at me and go, "Wow, he's da'bomb..." Also, I really need to stop saying, "Da'bomb."The 38-year-old rapper turned himself in Monday morning. Authorities say he failed to pay nearly $33,000 in taxes through 2004 and 2007.
He is being charged with repeated failure to file a return and failure to pay taxes.
Method Man, whose real name is Clifford Smith, could face up to four years in prison.
He won a Grammy in 1995 for best rap performance by a group or duo with Mary J. Blige for "I'll Be There For You/You're All That I Need." He is also a member of the group Wu-Tang Clan.
Method Man is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Staten Island Criminal Court.
