Nas has been hit with a massive $2.5 million demand from U.S. tax officials, according to reports.

The rapper is accused of failing to keep up with his taxes in 2006 and 2007, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials have taken their case to court in a bid to recoup the cash.

IRS bosses allege Nas failed to pay $2,584,206, according to papers obtained by TMZ.

Earlier this year, Nas was ordered to pay $5,000 a month in child support for his son Knight as part of his ongoing divorce battle with estranged wife Kelis.
