Snoop Dogg Pays The IRS $546K In Back Taxes To Avoid Jail Time

The IRS slapped Snoop (now Lion) -- real name Calvin Broadus -- with a tax lien back in February, claiming he still owed back taxes for the years 2009 and 2011.

Not one to leave Uncle Sam hanging ... Snoop recently paid his debt in full -- $546,270.29 to be exact -- and the lien was released late last month.
