A tax lien has been filed against Kelis for over $300,000 on earnings she brought in between 2004 and 2010. The "Milkshake" singer owes the money in New York City after she reportedly enjoyed a healthy bump in income while opening for Britney Spears on The Onyx Hotel tour.
The news comes at busy time for Kelis, who announced the launch of her new cooking sauce line last week. Speaking with NME.com, the songstress said that cooking is a huge part of her life:
"I love lifestyle stuff, I love housewares. I'm really a homebody, honestly. Anything to do with my kitchen, or my house, I'm all about it. I'm working on a sauce line, so that's kind of exciting. I'm a saucier."
Kelis also spoke with NME on the progress of her latest album, saying that she's not exactly sure how far along she is on it:
"It depends what day you ask me, some days I'm like 'It's 80% done' and other days when I say 'I'm 40% done'. I'm sort of midway I guess. It's exciting though, it's more electro, it's a little deeper and darker."
