Lauryn Hill calls Pras Michél's lawsuit over the canceled Fugees tour 'baseless' and accuses him of breach of contract in return
Pras Michél, a co-founding member of The Fugees, is suing his ex-bandmate Lauryn Hill in federal court for fraud and breach of contract over the short-lived and ultimately canceled. The filing is nasty and personal, citing Hill’s “arrogance” and “narcissistic tendencies” as reasons for the failure of the tour and the loss of other lucrative opportunities for the group.
The Fugees have performed together sporadically since they disbanded in 1997, but a long-gestating reunion tour scheduled to begin in August 2024 wasshortly before kicking off. Michél blames Hill for that and for blocking other potential lucrative opportunities, like a floated performance at this year’s Coachella that Michél claims Hill turned down because she didn’t like that No Doubt was given the headlining spot.
Hill was taking 40% of the tour guarantees and tour net profits ‘off the top’ for herself, leaving the remaining 60% to be split equally between Hill, Pras and Wyclef .” “I’ve been silent and pushing through because I understood that Pras was under duress because of his legal battles and that this was perhaps affecting his judgment, state of mind and character,” Hill said in a statement shared within response to Michél’s suit.
She claims that Michél “was advanced overpayment for the tour,” and that “An agreement was put in place to secure the repayment of the money he was advanced. Pras has not paid back the money he was advanced, and is currently in breach of this agreement.” Hill says she took care of most of the production planning and expenses, while “Pras basically just had to show up and perform.
