The Public Enemy rapper/hypeman is the latest person to be featured on the IRS’s blacklist. According to TMZ, Flavor Flav owes back taxes from ’04, ’05, and ’06. Ironically, during the span of these three years, Flav was a household name starring in profitable VH1 reality shows (“The Surreal Life”, “Strange Love” and “Flavor of Love”). We guess Flav was having too much fun and forgot to pay his taxes. Oh well, time to pay up… IRS calculations states that Flavor Flav owes $52, 243 for 2004, $303,036 for 2005, and $550, 971 for 2006.
