A report by The Detroit News, says that Sean "Diddy" Combs restaurant in Atlanta, Justin’s, owes exactly $7,373 in taxes to Uncle Sam. A representative for Combs claims that the taxes owed by the restaurant are a direct result of errors made by the IRS and a company that handles Justin’s tax payments.

Notices from the IRS were being sent to a corporate location that had not been used in years. The rep added that tax payments made on behalf of Justin’s in 2007 to the IRS were underpaid. "The new address was on file with the IRS, so it is surprising this happened," said the representative.

Upon hearing about the owed taxes, a check was immediately made to the IRS covering the full amount. Justin's Restaurant has been in business for over 10 years and specializes in Southern and Caribbean food. The New York location of Justin’s closed in 2007, but word has it that a new location (larger) is in the works.
