Fugees rapper Pras is suing his bandmate Lauryn Hill for fraud over the group’s shortened 2023 reunion tour.
FILE - Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, left, and Lauryn Hill , of the Fugees, perform during the 25th anniversary tour for “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill ’ in Inglewood, Calif., on Nov. 5, 2023. a founding member of the Fugees along with Hill and Wyclef Jean , alleges that Hill “swooped in” after his “unjust” verdict in a federal criminal conspiracy case, and he had no choice but to accept her onerous terms.
Hill called the lawsuit “baseless” with “false claims and unwarranted attacks,” in a statement to The Associated Press. She wrote that the lawsuit “notably omits that he was advanced overpayment for the last tour and has failed to repay substantial loans extended by myself as an act of goodwill,” totaling $3 million, putting him in breach of contract.
Hill said that the Fugees were added to the tour because she discovered Pras was “in trouble and would need money to aid his legal defense.” Needing to pay for attorneys, Michel accepted unfair terms so he could receive an advance on his share of tour money and accepted a deal he had rejected for a proposed 2021 reunion tour, his lawsuit says.
