Uncle Sam came for Quavo — and the bill is not small.
According to legal filings obtained by TMZ, the Atlanta rap star — born Quavois Marshall — has been hit with a federal tax lien totaling nearly $3 million. The IRS claims Quavo failed to pay taxes across three separate years, and they’re not letting it slide.
The breakdown is eye-opening:
- 2021: $915,660 owed
- 2022: $887,486 owed
- 2023: $1,109,497.79 owed
That’s a total of nearly $2.9 million owed to the federal government, with the lien officially filed in January.
Tax issues at this level are unfortunately common in the music industry, where massive income can come in inconsistently and financial management doesn’t always keep pace with the bags. But three consecutive years of unpaid taxes adds up fast — and the IRS doesn’t negotiate from a position of patience.
Quavo hasn’t publicly addressed the lien. Migos is over, the music is still moving, but the tax man doesn’t care about any of that. Get your accountant right.
