Yes, YOU Can Help Nelly Get Out of Trouble With the IRS

If you didn’t know, apparently Nelly owes the IRS a lot of money.

They gave him a $2,412,283 federal tax lien in August, and he has $149,511 in unpaid Missouri state taxes from 2013. Where’d you go wrong, Nelly?

Rather than let Nelly work with the IRS to come up with an agreement, here’s a more exciting ideaaccording to Spotify, artists make between $0.006 to $0.0084 per stream, so if everyone streams “Hot in Herre” 287,176,547 times, Nelly can get out of this (assuming he earns closer to the $0.0084 range).

So, are you willing to help our old friend out?
