Beanie Sigel may be making a comeback in music, following recent news of a record deal with EMI and a joint project with Scarface. However, things may have to be put on hold, because he's got some prison time coming up.
The rapper (real name: Dwight Grant) was scheduled to be sentenced last November, but then, it was pushed to Thursday (April 12). However, Sigel's sentencing as been postponed.
During a hearing on Thursday, Beans' sentencing on federal tax charges were pushed to July 12, 212.
His defense attorneys told U.S. District Judge Jan DuBois, that their client hadn't supplied the financial information requested by a probation officer, and had not allowed a home visit by the officer.
So, for now, he has some time. However, Sigel has until April 26 to surrender additional financial documents in a bid to solve the dispute.
Sigel pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges last August, for failing to pay taxes on earnings between 2003 to 2005.
He could face up to three years in prison, if convicted.
