Lil Wayne Owes “A Milli” In Taxes: It appears footing the bill for his gaggle of illegitimate children has taken a toll on Weezy’s pockets.

Last month, The Internal Revenue Service filed a $1,138,760 tax lien against the incarcerated rapper for unpaid income tax in 2004, 2005 and 2007.

Wayne is currently serving a one-year sentence in New York’s Rikers Island after pleading guilty to gun charges last year. He is reportedly expected to be released in November — for good behavior.

This is the second big tax problem for Lil Wayne, real name real name Dwayne Carter, Jr. – the Tax Man filed a $977,840 tax lien against the rapper in 2008, which he later paid.

After more than a month of legal wrangling and odd delays, Lil Wayne has finally been sentenced to a year on New York’s infamous Rikers Island after pleading guilty in a 2007 New York City gun case.

On his hit single “A Milli,” Weezy raps that he’d rather be “pushin’ flowers than to be in the pen sharing showers,” but is appears he’ll soon find himself doing just that. Before today’s court appearance, it had proved difficult for Wayne to actually begin his agreed-upon sentence. First, the hip-hop star’s sentencing was postponed in February so he could undergo extensive dental surgery. Then, a fire shut down Manhattan’s main criminal courthouse while he was on his way to turn himself in last week.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper — whose real name is Dwayne Carter — was taken away in handcuffs to start serving his term immediately after his sentencing. In October, he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and admitted having a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus in 2007. With good behavior, the father of four (or is it five?) could be free in as little as eight months.

The Universe really doesn’t want Lil Wayne to spend the next year on Rikers Island. The rap star – scheduled to start a one-year prison term on his Manhattan gun possession plea Wednesday — now doesn’t have to turn himself in until Monday, court officials said this afternoon.

Last month, Wayne was granted an additional two weeks of freedom pending extensive dental surgery. After turning himself in on Tuesday, the “Lollipop” hitmaker was once again set free when a fire shutdown the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse.
