The classic hood comedy hasn't seen Smokey since the original, and Cube was down to drop a major bag to change that.

According to USA Today, a complaint was filed by the IRS in a Nevada federal court on Monday stating the "Rush Hour" star owes $9.6 million in federal taxes, tax penalties, and interest from 2002, 2006, 2008, and 2010.

One of the biggest things people wanted for a final 'Friday' sequel was for Smokey to return to close out his character's cliffhanger ending, but it seems like actor Chris Tucker isn't too keen on being seen as an icon for cannibis culture.

Tucker explained that he didn't want to "shortchange my audience and my fans" as they've come to expect the same ol' Smokey but he feels that "I can't do what I did when I watch Friday now. I can't do that. I was where I was when I was acting but now i'm in my 40's now. I can do something even better!"
