BEANIE SIGEL FACES UP TO THREE YEARS IN PRISON FOR FAILURE TO FILE TAXES, SENTENCING TOMORROW

After pleading guilty earlier this year for a failure to file federal income-tax returns from 2003-2005, Beanie Sigel will be sentenced tomorrow morning (July 12) at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, XXLMag.com has learned.THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER reports that federal prosecutors are seeking the maximum allowable sentence, which is three years in prison.
Sigel, real name Dwight Grant, earned in excess of $1 million in net income from 2003 through 2005 and owed the IRS approximately $348,077 in taxes during that time period, but didn't pay anything.
Tomorrow, he'll learn his legal fate.
"It's difficult to predict the outcome in cases like this," Sigel's attorney Fortunato N. Perri, Jr. told XXLMag.com. "The sentencing judge is going to evaluate all the factors, including his background. Hopefully, the court will recognize that this is not a crime of violence."
Perri adds that "incarceration is an option."
Although it's non-related to this case, it doesn't help any that Sigel's priors include being accused of attempted murder (CHARGES HE BEAT IN AN ACQUITTAL IN 2005).
In relation to this case, Beans was originally supposed to be sentenced back in APRIL. However, Perri told the court that his client had not provided the financial information a probation officer requested or permitted a home visit by the officer. That pushed the sentencing back to July 12, tomorrow.
Just last month, Scarface re-confirmed plans of he and Beans working on and releasing their proposed joint album.
"I think the name of the album's gon be The First 48," 'FACE TOLD XXLMAG.COM. "We gon do a double album. First 48, Second 48. Beanie came up with that shit. It's dope. The minute that everything is a go, we gon put our lives on camera and we gon record the first one in 48 hours

Beanie Sigel will be heading to court this Thursday for sentencing in his recent tax evasion case.

While fans are surely anticipating Scarface and Beanie Sigel's upcoming Mac and Brad LP, excitement may soon have to be tempered. The Philadelphia half of the duo will be heading to court this Thursday for sentencing over charges of tax evasion.

According to a recent report from Philly.com, the Broad Street Bully is scheduled to make an appearance in court this Thursday (April 12) for sentencing in his tax evasion case. In 2010, Beans was charged with failing to file tax reports from the years 2003 to 2005, owing a reported $348,000 in taxable income out of a grand total of $1 million.

Last August, the former Roc-A-Fella rapper pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges during the two-year period in question, although the defense contests the total sum due. He faces up to three years in prison if found guilty.

Freeway and Beanie Sigel Praise Jay-Z

During a recent interview with Montreality,Freeway says that he still has love for his former boss Jay-Z and that Hova still supports him. The Philly rapper also said that he wishes to work with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Nas and Kendrick Lamar before he puts down the mic.

"That's the big homie," he said about Jigga. "Supports me 100 percent. Jay was one of my favorite artists anyway, even before I signed."

Aside from Jay, there are other artists he admires and hopes to collaborate with soon.

"I've been in the game for a minute, I haven't gotten a chance to work with Dre," he said. "Definitely want to do with Dre and Em. I want to do something with Kendrick Lamar. He's an artist who challenged the game and came with something different. I want to work with Nas, before it's all said and done."

Freeway's former label mate, Beanie Sigel also spoke out recently about Jay-Z, whom he had a highly-publicized falling out with back in 2009.

"We had a litte misunderstanding," he explained during an interview with Power 95.3. "[It was a] situation where I couldn't get to him, so I had to via emceeing. And that was it. At the end of the day, Jay, that's my brother, and will forever be my brother."

Freeway and Beanie Sigel were the faces of Roc-A-Fella in the early 2000's and were the lyrical assassins Hova would go to when the God Emcee would still engage in a beef or two.

Times have changed and Jay is busy with his new label, Roc Nation, and the artists on it, including J. Cole and Rita Ora.
