Superproducer Swizz Beatz spoke to Power 105's The Breakfast Club about the recent controversy surrounding his tax issues. The hitmaker proved that he was up-to-date on back taxes, but wants to make sure he's learned from his past mistakes.

He also wants the media to get the story straight.

"Say I owed $10 million. Don't say I owed $100,000. The story was about a $98,000 lien. I see where they got that from. I'm not going to say I never had tax problems. '06, '07, I had tax problems. It was like, whatever," he said. "As you get older, you know how to maintain your funds, maintain your businesses. I'm involved with next-level businesses across seas, this that and the third. It's like, you've gotta know how to graduate those things when you're dealing with these people. This can't be coming up. When you're doing business, everybody know everything. They know who's who and what's what, what you make and how you doing. These people are billionaires. For me to be in that lane, I have to be responsible anyways."
