LIL WAYNE HIT WITH FED TAX LIEN

Lil Wayne's pockets are about to get a bit lighter, because Uncle Sam wants his fair share. The New Orleans rapper was hit with a federal tax lien to the tune of $5.6 million.

According to The Detroit News, the IRS lien, dated March 2 but made official on March 28, was filed in Miami Dade County and notes that Dwayne M. Carter has an unpaid income-tax balance due of $3,351,078 for 2008 and $2,258,956 for 2009. The Miami Beach, Florida, address listed on the lien is for Wayne's 15,101-square-foot mansion, which is currently on the market for a shade under $13 million.

This is not the first time Weezy has had to settle an overdue tax bill. Last year, the Young Money CEO was hit with - and paid out - a lien by the IRS that totaled $1.1 million for income tax years 2004, 2005 and 2007.
