Grammy winning singer/rapper Lauryn Hill pleaded guilty today to "intentionally and willingly" not paying federal taxes on more than $1.5 million earned over three years.

 

Hill appeared in U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey and admitted failing to file tax returns from 2005 to 2007. Each count carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

 

According to ReutersHill was released on $150,000 bail that U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp said included being allowed to leave the country for music tours and a condition she must undergo mental health counseling.

 

She will reappear in the Newark courthouse for sentencing in November.

when you're vigilant and rebellious against the machine, you can't make mistakes like these and give them a reason to put their hands on you, but the higher power protects the ones who don't fear the ones that can kill the body not the soul. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND STAY STRONG QUEEN BOOGIE
