Ari Lennox is exploring all options to pay off her IRS debt.
The 33-year-old revealed to her fans during a recent discussion on Instagram Live that she’s dealing with financial woes and is in serious debt to the IRS.
In the live, she joked about having to do “strange things” in order to pay off all of the bills. “I’m just gonna tell y’all my business,” she began. “I need to pay this IRS. The strange things I’m finna do for change, just so i can just break even. I’m gonna go crazy and then we start anew.” From there, she said the goal is to eventually retire after paying off her debts and beginning to save money.
When one viewer joked that a “diss album” about the IRS was coming soon, Lennox made it clear she wants no smoke with the organization.
“Absolutely not,” Lennox replied. “They have been gentle with me and didn’t take anything of time. So, I will not be starting a beef with them, we do not have no beef, I am paying them back. Okay? I am paying them and I’m finna be caught up.”
