Ne-Yo’s financial woes deepen as he receives a substantial tax lien for unpaid taxes amounting to over $3.1 million for 2020. This significant debt has further strained the singer’s already challenging financial situation. 

This recent development adds to the legal battles that Ne-Yo has been facing, including unpaid contracts and a highly publicized divorce.
