Troubles continue to mount for The Source Magazine.
According to The New York Post, the embattled hip-hop magazine, is apparently without an office after it was forced out of its latest digs on West 23rd Street. T
The Source is accused of not paying $156,000 in back rent to Forbes Inc., which subleased the office space that was originally used by its Forbes.com, as Media Ink reported back on Oct. 28.
A Source insider said it was moving to new space at 77 Broadway, but the site was not going to be available for at least another month, essentially leaving the mag homeless.
Source CEO David Mays and its president and sometime rap artist Ray "Benzino" Scott ordered all staffers to work from home. Meanwhile, Mays and Benzino were not on the street themselves.
They were said to have jetted to Miami for a photo shoot for the January/Febuary edition, which will feature both of them on the cover, said The Source source.
Mays, reached via cellphone in Miami yesterday, declined to comment on the magazine's place of business in the Big Apple or why he was in Miami.
Benzino and Mays are currently being charged for failing to file tax returns in 1999 and 2000, plus former employees Kim Osorio and Michelle Joyce served the woeful magazine with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
