Hip hop icon Doug E. Fresh aka the “The Human Beat Box” is reportedly going through some financial woes as the 80’s icon is allegedly in for more than $2 million dollars in back taxes owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Reportedly, Doug E. Fresh, real name Douglas E. Davis, 44, has a lien against him for $2,276,848 dollars, according to the Detroit News.

The tax lien against Doug E. Fresh was reportedly filed on October 20th.
