Lauryn Hill will serve 3 months in federal prison for evading taxes.

After a long battle with the law, Lauryn Hill has finally received her sentencing in her tax evasion case. The rapper was able to pay back her 900,000 debt to the government earlier this week, and was thus able to soften her sentence, but will still serve 3 months in federal prison, as well as an additional 3 months under house arrest, and 9 months of supervision following release.

Hill pled guilty to 3 counts of tax evasion stemming from $1.8 million she earned from 2005 to 2007. She will report to prison July 8th, though it is unclear where she will serve her time at this point.

Hill made a statement at the hearing, equating her situation with slavery. "I was put into a system I didn't know the nature of. ... I'm a child of former slaves. I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed on me," she said. "I sold 50 million units ... now I'm up here paying a tax debt. If that's not likened to slavery, I don't know what is."
