Twista Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion

Chicago’s legendary rapper Twista has pleaded guilty to five counts of willfully failing to pay federal income taxes for five years, allegedly owing over $440,000 — with debts dating back to 2011. Despite earning millions from music, streams, and advances, he reportedly chose to spend instead of paying, even using future royalties to evade taxes. With sentencing set for October 22 and each count carrying a potential year in prison, this case serves as a stark reminder: tax compliance isn’t optional — even for hip-hop royalty.
