Deejay Elephant Man is set to appeal the decisions made by the Inland Revenue Department to seize his Benz to settle millions owed in taxes.

In July, the deejay, born O'Neil Bryan, got a rude awakening when the Special Enforcement team at the Inland Revenue Department, with assistance from the St Andrew police, swooped down on his house, located off Hope Road and seized his red Mercedes-Benz.

Since then, the deejay's attorney, Roderick Gordon, explained to THE STAR that Elephant Man is adamant about getting back his vehicle. He also said the deejay wants his legal team to look into his legal and constitutional rights concerning the matter.

When THE STAR spoke to Gordon last week, he explained that his team had appealed the decision made by the Inland Revenue Department. He said: "We have appealed all the decisions against him. The Taxpayer Appeals Tribunal has agreed to hear an appeal for one of the areas he has appealed for. We're still pursuing the other areas that were appealed as well."

The date for the Appeals Tribunal, Gordon said, has not yet been officially set.

In March, the tax department had placed Elephant Man on a list of 50 high-profile delinquent taxpayers. Elephant Man is known for songs such as Sweep and This is How We Do It, featuring Bounty Killer. Last week, Bounty Killer also got a visit from the Inland Revenue Department, which seized two of his vehicles.
