Snoop Dog has a lot of problems these days. First, he’s being accused of beating down a fan, then state officials has placed a lien on his home after the rapper has failed to pay over $300,000 of taxes.

Snoop attended an LA court earlier today after Richard Monroe Jr. filed a lawsuit against the rapper in April 2006 for assault, battery, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Lawyers for Monroe opened their statements by playing a video of the alleged incident. He claimed that he sustained serious injuries after hopping onstage during Snoop’s performance of “Gin and Juice” in a Seattle gig back in May 2005.

According to court documents, Monroe believed he was invited to join Snoop onstage, but was welcomed with punches and kicks by the rapper’s bodyguards and friends, which included Soopafly, Daz Dillinger, The Game and Kurupt. Monroe said he lost consciousness after the attack and found out his watch, wallet and diamond-studded earrings were gone when he came to. He was treated with a busted lip, broken nose and bruised ribs after the incident. The 25-year-old Monroe is seeking $22 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

In related news, Snoop (real name Calvin Broadus Jr.) is also being chased by the California Franchise Tax Board for owing the state $284,053 in back taxes. The state has put a lien on his home, joining other tax-evader celebrities like Burt Reynolds, Sinbad and Dionne Warwick.
