After getting out of prison early, Lil Wayne is taking care of all of his business. In an effort to avoid going back to prison, Lil Wayne has been paying attention to his financial records. With the recent additions of rappers Drake and Nicki Minaj to Young Money, Lil Wayne has seen an increase in his cash flow.

Before his days as a successful CEO, or even a popular rapper, Wayne was running up his debts. Lil Wayne owed taxes from both 2004 and 2005, successful years for the New Orleans rapper. Wayne also had taxes from 2007 that went unpaid. While he has yet to be brought up on charges, it was likely coming soon.

Lil Wayne avoided all of this by paying off all his debts. Last June, a tax lien was placed on Lil Wayne in Dade County for $1.1 million. His other debts equaled up to $200,000. Lil Wayne has been celebrating the victory of his Green Bay Packers and he can continue partying now that he has paid off the $1.3 million he was behind in his taxes with.
