Lauryn Hill responds after her Fuguees group-mate, Pras Michel reportedly sued her.
“Some clarity and facts need to be presented,” Hill stated in a statement shared via Instagram. “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 goes on to say that the lawsuit is “baseless,” and has “false claims and unwarranted attacks.”
She says the suit “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.”
Pras Sues Lauryn Hill:
According to reports, Michél is suing Ms. Hill for fraud and breach of contract.
Michél claims that Hill “grossly mismanaged the setup, marketing and budgeting of their scuttled 2023 tour,” which “was actually a veiled and devious attempt to make a big score for herself,” according to reports.
Michél’s lawsuit also called out Hill for having “narcissistic tendencies”. The suit states “Hill’s arrogance was again demonstrated when she unilaterally rejected a $5 million offer to play Coachella. The reason was that her ego was bruised since the group No Doubt would be receiving top billing over The Fugees the night of their show.”
It continued, “Hill never told Pras about the offer or that she had was rejected it. Pras only learned about it when it was too late, after Hill, in an astonishing display of hubris, asked Pras if he would agree to perform a few Fugees songs for free as the opening act for her son, ‘YG’ Marley, who was slated to perform at the same Coachella festival.”
