Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys: New Marriage and Old Debt

Kasseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean has 99 problems and his chick ain't one. The newlywed music producer , 31, has been honeymooning it up on yachts in Corsica, France with his new wife singer Alicia Keys, 29, like he doesn't have a care in the world. Technically he shouldn't, after all, he did just wed one of the most intelligent and graceful women in R&B, but according to recent news, Swizz has found himself in a boatload of trouble.

Shortly after everyone viewed the secret wedding photos of Swizz and Alicia marrying in Italy, we could barely get out our oohs and ahhhs before tax documents surfaced showing Dean owes $2.4 million in taxes. Accumulating since 2006-2008, the total is part of a larger seven-year debt due to 35 different tax liens from the IRS.

Keys certainly has money of her own -- as does Beatz, who, according to Forbes, made $8 million in 2008 alone -- but what is going on here? Should Alicia have dug a little deeper before walking down the aisle? Maybe money grows on trees in the Dean household, but with more than 30 tax liens, child support and tax debt in the millions, Keys might have benefited from taking a moment to think before walking down the aisle.
