(global grind)News broke that Lauryn Hill would be serving three months in jail over a tax evasion conviction.

The legendary rapper owed the IRS upwards of $1.3 million in back taxes.

Days before her final court hearing, Lauryn paid $970,000 to satisfy most of her debt, but it wasn't enough. Lauryn waited too long to pay her delinquent taxes and was sentenced to jail. 

Many close friends and colleagues have been writing letters to Lauryn's judge, and surprisingly, Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder were among those people who lobbied on her behalf.

There were 29 people in total who wrote the judge presiding over Lauryn's tax case, and she took the time to thank each and every one of them in a letter issued to the public.
