Lil Baby opened up about his problems with understanding the nuances of America's taxation system during a 2024 appearance on A Safe Place Podcast. The rapper revealed that he got over $100 million from deals and record labels at the initial stage of his career. However, he allegedly had no idea about how to pay his taxes.

“I done got over $100 million from labels and deals. Not one time nobody still haven’t told me how to pay my taxes. Nobody even never told me pay my taxes,” Lil Baby explained.

Lack of financial knowledge allegedly led to him not paying taxes during the first two years of his life. The musician said that he was "doing it so wrong," adding that his tax bills were very high since he was "on some hustling sh*t" where he saved all his money.

However, he noted that the more money he saved, the more money he owed the IRS. The rapper also said that he wasn't aware that he needed to spend his money so he could "save money on your taxes." He concluded by revealing that he sought financial advice from Rick Ross and 21 Savage after the initial hurdle.

“Only thing I knew how to do was spending… I started looking at the people that I saw with the right business,” he said.

Historically, several musicians have struggled with taxes in the past. For instance, Fat Joe spent four months in prison for failing to pay taxes on over $3 million in earnings. Lauryn Hill was sentenced to three months in prison for tax evasion. Baby explained that he tries to warn upcoming rappers to take their taxes seriously.
