When rapper Method Man’s Lincoln Navigator was recently repossessed due to his tremendous amount of back taxes most people assumed the rapper wasn’t doing so well financially.
Why did Method Man forget to pay his taxes? Because he was "too high."

But according to The Daily News, Method Man could have easily written a check to clear up his back taxes but was too high to do so.

In an interview with The Daily News Method Man revealed that when the tax department was sending him letters he was on the road and simply forgot to pay them.

“Myself, I’m a pothead. It’s no secret. Everyone knows that,” Method Man told The Daily News. “I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, [the tax department] sent letters to my house saying, ‘We need this money.’ They started sending them in 2002. Here it is, 2009, and I never paid this s— because I don’t think like that! I could have easily just written them a check for whatever amount, but no — I waited until they knocked on this door and were like, ‘We got your truck and we outta here,’ ”

Method Man owed the Department of Taxation a staggering $52,503 in overdue payments.

And when the Department of Taxation did seize Method Man’s Navigator he was too caught off guard to be bothered by the possession.

“I knew why they were there,” Method Man explained to The Daily News. “It wasn’t like ‘Oh my God! Noo!! Don’t take it!’ like it is on that TV show [“Operation Repo”]. I was half-dressed, and it was so early that I just said, ‘Okay, you’re taking the truck. ... Aight.’”
