Swizz Beatz is back to being a tax deadbeat.
Alicia Keys’ Grammy-winning, record-producer husband is facing more than $5.7 million in unpaid tax debt dating back to 2022, The Post has learned.
Beatz, 47, was most recently slapped with a $1,242,984 lien by the Internal Revenue Service in January for unpaid income taxes in 2024, city finance records show.
Including outstanding liens totaling $4,482,273 for his 2022 and 2023 filings, Beatz owes a whopping $5,725,257 in federal taxes on his personal income.
Keys is not named in the liens.
The Bronx-born rapper and hip-hop record producer—whose real name is Kasseem Dean and reportedly has a net worth of $150 million—had a decades-long history of racking up massive tax debt before his latest slipup.
Starting in 2008, Beatz and his former wife, Mashonda Tifrere, reportedly racked up a string of federal liens filed against them in New York, Georgia, and California. By mid-2012 the claims ballooned to staggering $2.6 million — with another $98,246 lien for unpaid New York State taxes.
However, his reps showed TMZ proof months later that he paid off the debt.
In 2016, Beatz was forced to shell out $655,785 to the IRS after falling behind in tax payments for 2009, 2014 and 2015, records show.
Beatz — who produced hits for DMX, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and other A-list artists—has two sons with Keys and three other children through previous relationships.
The pioneering producer hasn’t let his debt stop him from shelling out big bucks to rise to the top outside the music industry, such as in Saudi Arabia’s tony camel racing scene.
He has reportedly spent millions of dollars buying more than 50 racing camels for his team “Saudi Bronx,” which has excelled competing in major races in the Middle East.
Beatz’s business manager Jeffrey Feinman claimed the debt is “old news,” adding that “there are certain issues under dispute,” and Beatz is “working towards resolving it.”
