The 50-year-old singer earns a bulk of his money by touring with famous R&B groups New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe. Ronnie and Shamari are also the newest cast members on Bravo’s hit reality series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

“It is definitely something I’m not running away from,” he said. “The IRS knows me, I know them. Payments are being made.”

The tax lien isn’t unusual for celebrities of Ronnie’s stature. Within the past four years of members of the reality series and residents of Atlanta have been hit with tax liens including NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield, and Kenya Moore.
