Twista Pleads Guilty to Tax Crimes | Chicago News

Chicago rap legend Twista is facing serious legal trouble after pleading guilty to five counts of tax evasion spanning 2019 to 2023, with the IRS claiming he owes over $440,000 in back taxes. Despite warnings and advice from accountants, he allegedly tried to sidestep payments by taking advances on future royalties — a risky move that backfired. The IRS isn’t stopping there: they’re also chasing unpaid bills dating back to 2011, while accusing him of living lavishly — including buying at least four luxury cars — while ignoring his tax obligations. The IRS made it clear: fame doesn’t exempt anyone from paying their dues. Twista’s sentencing is scheduled for October 22nd. Known for his rapid-fire flow and hits like “Slow Jamz,” he’s also earned Grammy nods — but this chapter might be his most controversial yet.
