Lauryn Hill is facing eviction from her New Jersey mansion and jail time for tax evasion, according to reports on Friday.
The eight-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter could be ousted from the South Orange mansion she's been living in since 2009. She stopped paying rent last month, TMZ reports, and now her landlord is trying to evict her.
The mother-of-six is scheduled to appear in court next week to face sentencing for tax fraud. Hill pled guilty to federal charges against her for income tax evasion in June. She failed to file tax returns in 2005, 2006, and 2007 and now owes $1.6 million to the IRS.
The 37-year-old reportedly stopped making payments for her mansion in South Orange, New Jersey last month.
Her landlord has taken the case to court and is demanding the singer pays the pending rent or faces eviction from the property, as per report.
Hill is accused of owing more than 1 million pounds to tax authorities and faces up to three years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of failing to file her returns between 2005 and 2007.
A judge will announce her sentence April 22, but she has asked for probation instead of jail time, so that she can work towards paying off her tax debts.
In February 2012, the singer-songwriter called for respecting artists during their careers at a concert at the Hollywood Palladium. The comments came on the heels of Whitney Houston's death, but appeared to hold a personal meaning for Hill.
