How do we know Swizz Beatz is a pretty big deal in the music biz? He's baller enough to owe almost $900K in taxes. 
The IRS records show there's a tax lien of $842,644.52 against Swizz (real name Kasseem Dean) and his estranged wife, Mashonda. By comparison, former NFL legend Bernie Kosar owes $228K, and Mini-Me has a $300K lien.
We put in a call to Violator Management, but haven't heard back yet.

7. I agree with # 7. Is this TMZ web site or the KKK web site? With all the racist rants you people allow, It makes me afraid to talk to white people. You allow so much hate for black people it's amazing!!! Where are the sweaty white people? They don't sweat? Why do you allow phrases like F#cked up BIGGER? DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT TO SAY? Or is it that you feel the same way?
