Lil Wayne to resolve huge tax bill

Representatives for Lil Wayne have vowed to investigate allegations the rapper owes more than $12 million in unpaid taxes.

The Lollipop hitmaker is accused of failing to pay $5.8 million in tax for 2011 and $6.3 million for 2012, according to a tax lien obtained by editors at TMZ.com.

Wayne's publicist Sarah Cunningham has now confirmed the star's team is keen to resolve the matter, telling editors at Gossipextra.com, "Lil Wayne's tax attorneys and accountant are looking into the matter... They are certain that this will be resolved."

The hip-hop star previously found himself in financial trouble for failing to pay $7 million in taxes for the years 2008 and 2009, but he has since cleared the debt.
