In an interview with the New York Daily News, rapper, Method Man revealed the reason why he didn’t pay his taxes and had his Lincoln Navigator repossessed.

“Myself, I’m a pothead,” he said on the set of a video shoot for his new album, “Blackout 2,” with Redman. “It’s no secret. Everyone knows that. I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, [the tax department] sent letters to my house saying, ‘We need this money.’ They started sending them in 2002. Here it is, 2009, and I never paid this s— because I don’t think like that!”

When we referenced the famous Afroman song “Because I Got High,” Method Man just laughed.

“Exactly!” he said. “Because I got high, I forgot to pay. It was stupid. I’m an idiot for that.”
