Lauryn Hill can’t catch a break. Back in June, the former Fugees singer and rapper, who didn’t pay federal taxes on over $1.6M in earnings from 2005 to 2007, plead guilty to tax evasion charges. Now, reports say that Ms. Hill owes her home state of New Jersey more than $440,000 in unpaid taxes.
A civil judgement was filed against Hill on June 14th for exactly $446,386. The “Lost Ones” singer hasn’t been charged, so theoretically she can avoid more legal shenanigans if she pays her tab. As for the federal tax matter, she is scheduled to be sentenced in November and faces up to three years in prison.
Lauryn Hill Passes On Interview With Oprah

The talk show queen sought out Lauryn Hill to appear on the show, and has was turned down.
Lady O made the announcement on Twitter after someone asked that she get Hill on the show. “Tried. She said no,” Winfrey wrote.
