According to internet reports, Fat Joe, who is getting ready to release his 8th solo album ‘The Elephant In The Room,’  might be in debt $150,000 deep to the tax man.

According to official state documents the rapper (born Joseph Cartagena) owes the IRS $70,000 while his company Terror Squad Productions is back $70,494.52 in taxes.

According to Fat Joe though, he’s good for it. Just earlier this
month he made an appearance on BET’s “Rap City” where he announced that
his long-standing beef with mogul 50 Cent has amassed him millions. “Since I’ve been beefing with 50 Cent I’ve become so much richer in
my life, so much more millions and keep dropping hit records.”

‘The Elephant In The Room’ will feature appearances from Diddy, Rick Ross, Fabolous and production from Scott Storch, Cool & Dre, DJ Khaled, Nate “Danja” Hills and The Runners. The project is expected to be released in March 11.
