According to WEBCPA, rapper Beanie Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, has been charged with three counts of failing to file his federal income taxes. Mr. Grant (Beanie) reportedly did not file his taxes from the years 2003-2005.

If convicted, Dwight Grant faces up to a maximum of three years in prison, a $300,000.00 fine and supervised probation.
