Meth is saying that his Navigator getting repossessed was no big deal. It’s simple; his stacks are in order, but his Buddha habit merely cause him to forget:

Method Man was going to pay his bills … but then he got high. Despite recent reports that the rapper is so broke that his 2008 Lincoln Navigator was repossessed to pay back taxes, Method Man — whose real name is Clifford Smith — insists his cash flow is just fine. In fact, he says, his penchant for marijuana is to blame for the mishap.

…Citing the Wu Tang member for being $52,503 in arrears on his personal income taxes, the state Department of Taxation showed up at the Staten Island native’s home at 6 a.m. March 19 with “four NYPD cops and the repo team,” Meth told us. “I knew why they were there. 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.’”

The back story, according to the rapper, is simple. “Myself, I’m a pothead,” he said on the set of a video shoot for his new album, “Blackout 2,” with Redman. “It’s no secret. Everyone knows that. 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,’ ” he laughed. “Now I’m thinking we’ve gotta get our truck back, which means I have to get all my paperwork together,” the rapper continued. “That means days of going through mail, ’cause I got mail like woah.

Fifty G’s is not chump change and giving up a Navigator feels better than giving up that kind of money. Lets get it together Meth.  SMH

    I’m sure Luv-Lee works all day very hard while her man sits at home and drink all the kids juice boxes and eat their lunchables snacks, playing PS2…..Making runs in her car up to the corner gas station buying 10cent newports all morning…….Picks up Luv-Lee from work car on empty, with blunt tails in the ashtray….And has the nerve to ask her to braid his hair when she just got off a 12 hour shift

    @Meff pass the spliff! Tell the Govt. you’ll pay them after you receive your stimulis check.

    *sigh*

    Oh, Meth…

    /facepalm

    Even if that is the case, you don’t tell ppl that!!!

  • me (the original)

    Meth is NOT gay. Back when he was big, he’d always have his (then gf) wife with him. I remember one time I was in the salon and his wife was under a dryer, he walked in, handed her a stack, and walked out. He always took care of that girl..has mad love for her. Other than his music, that was something else that I loved about him. It’s really nice to see a man be there for his lady.

    He still loses points for that comment, though.

    OK if you do have money you have an accountant to pay for you. I love Carmelo and LeBron do you think they open tax letters? Method Man has been in it too long to not have the $ to pay an accountant. Ignorant!

    Dang, Meth. Handle your business. T

    his is just a word of warning for the rest of us. The IRS just received their biggest budget increase ever, and it for more enforcement. They are looking to hire hundreds of new agents in the next 3 months. If you do nothing else, pay your taxes. I’d hate to see our folks out on the street. Peace.

  • Dude is broke.

  • jessica

    I actually believe this… Addiction causes some people to stay stuck and on a deeper level those of us with a background from the hood have a tendency to self sabotage our lives whenever we get a lil success.

    It’s like we need to reprogram ourselves and gain enlightenment but doing that is impossible when somebody is using drugs.

  • Lady Shady

    what a loser, his weed habit was cute in the 90′s but now he’s just disgusting, he needs to get it together, gross.

  • Lee from shaolin

    The Staten Island (Shaolin) Advance is tearing him up…Meth please check these fools!

  • aight

    @Jessica,

    I agree 100 &10%. I’ve seen so many friends lose everything by self sabotaging their lives with drugs including alchohol. It’s easy to blame substance abuse/addiction or having a tuff life, bad parenting, friends, and society; however, freewill is very important when you become an adult, but so many people have no idea what to do with it. As a result some so-called scholars and politicians make it very easy with rockfeller drug laws for those who can’t seem to control themselves or find ‘gainful’employment. I hope Meth takes control of his life. Its apparent that he made it out of the hood, unlike so many of his friends who have the misfortune of being stuck inside of poverty and the system for one reason or another. When we allow drugs to control us we are serving a different master who is insatiable. Could be the ID…maybe the Ego.

  • me (the original)

    Lee…where in SI are you?

    Born and raised in the Stat :D I live in MA now though.

    And what the hell is the ADVANCE of all papers saying? LOL, the Advance.

  • Ocean

    ummm- i am soo tired of these ganja conspiracies!! i hate when these coke heads and alcholics blame weed for their B/S! i bet u he doesn’t ONLY smoke ganja! Ganja is the sacred herb!! Love and respect for it always!

  • MzTee

    Dude is definitely a candidate for rehab. If your recreational habits are making you forget to take care of your business, you need to stop. Meth’s fam needs to kidnap his azz and do an intervention on the real.

  • bee bee

    What the hell????? That explanation doesn’t even BEGIN to make sense. Who in their right mind just lets a tax bill grow to $50K when they actually have the money? You ain’t on the road that much, Meth.

    I agree with MzTee. His family needs to get him to rehab. (And they need to drag Redman with them too while they’re at it.)

    Clifford is pushing 40 and he’s too damn old to still be playing the “pothead” role. Especially when it causes him to do stupid stuff like this.

    ……………………………………
    druggies are not welcome in amsterdam..people get this misperception that everybody in amsterdam is on drugs…the only that is legal here is weed…so get your infos. right before making foolish statements.

  • Not this sh*t again

    I’m sad to say this, Meth, you were my all time favorite rapper next to Busta, I have all your albums, but someone WITH money to say, “Fifty G’s is Not chump change”…….You broke. I would say something like that.

  • jessica

    @ Invisible

    Yes I’ve seen it too & the way I see it life skills are up to us to develop and some people never take responsibility and I think it’s because they don’t realize the power is all in their hands now.

    For some knowing how to take control of their lives is difficult and low self-esteem, past abuse, drug use and more make it all too easy to not care.

    However the truth is Daddy not hitting mommy anymore, and nobody’s touching you inappropriately anymore or beating the hell out of you because of who you are and what you’ve done anymore.

    People out on these streets need real help and what happens more often than not is they don’t live up to their potential due to some poor beliefs and bad habits.

    Educate yourself and decide not to live the life of a fool, seek and find, it’s in your hands!

  • MissBlaze44

    I’ve always loved Method. I would love to chill with him in a park somewhere that has a waterfall, smoke a blunt and just reflect on life as a whole.

    This cat is so smooth with his – forgetfullness and all!

  • Adrienne

    @ bee bee….It makes NO sense at all…eff begin to make sense…LOL

  • MissBlaze44

    Okay – first off – like, who goes to rehab for Weed? ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS!

    Trust – I’m a big-ass pot head – hence the name MissBLAZE.

    However, you CAN stop at any time. I HAVE due to the fact that I’m in between jobs and know that I’ll have to take that unrinalysis at any given time.

    I’m not TWITCHING
    I’m not going through WITHDRAWAL
    I’m not GOING CRAZY
    I’m not NUTTIN’UP on anybody

    All because I’ve STOPPED SMOKING WEED – please. Like I said, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS!

  • MissBlaze44

    @ Adrienne

    I was on the net doing a little research on companies that do drug-testing and I have a question for you:

    Isn’t it true that back in 1989 or so there was a JUDGE who deemed such testing on GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES unlawful and goes against the 4TH AMENDMENT?

    This Judge put it best when he said, “its technological SURVEILLANCE”.

    Please elaborate and give me your thoughts on that.

  • Love None

    Meth, Meth,Meth! You just made yourself sound real stupid with that bullshit. How you gonna have responsibilities in this world like your children and let something like that happen to you. My advice-”If you know better then do better!”

  • Love None

    And for any of you thinking that he has too much money and is too busy to take care of his bills is a damn fool. If you are in the entertainment industry you hire a business manager which is usually an accountant to handle your financial responsibilities!!!

  • Carla

    I guess Method Man cares more about buying weed then conducting business, lol….

  • *Treasure*

    Meth should be more reasonable. He disregards all of the IRS corespondence. Ignoring them won’t solve matters. He could of made payment arrangements with the IRS if he was having financial difficulties. His behavior is just irresponsible. Keep in mind he has a wife and children.

  • The Roc

    Meth is too old for this. Someone could be taking his paper and he wouldn’t even know.

  • leave-it-be

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> lol @ the roc…… YOU ARE SO RIGHT…. HE LYING; PROBABLY BROKE DONE SMOKED IT ALL UP, DONT REALIZE ALL HIS $$$$$$TACKS IS GONE…. PUFFFF} OOPS! I MEANT POOF!!!!! LMAO
