Coachella brought the heat as Lauryn Hill crashed her son YG Marley’s set, treating fans to solo classics and a mini Fugees reunion with Wyclef Jean.
On Sunday (April 14), YG graced the stage, and after about 15 minutes, his mother made a surprise appearance, belting out some of her solo hits before inviting Wyclef to join for a nostalgic Fugees medley.

The setlist was a throwback delight, featuring classics like “Ex-Factor,” “Lost Ones,” “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not,” and “Fu-Gee-La,” with YG impressively stepping in for Pras on “Ready or Not.”
As the performance unfolded, Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star joined the stage, adding to the nostalgia as Bus-A-Bus ran through fan favorites including “Put Your Hand Where My Eyes Could See” and his verse from Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now.”
We previously reported that Busta Rhymes is set to join Missy Elliott’s upcoming Out of This World Tour, marking a reunion of sorts for the two iconic artists.
On Monday (April 8), taking to social media, the Grammy-winning rapper dropped a bombshell: the Out of This World Tour is officially happening, and she’s not going solo. Joining her for the cosmic journey are longtime collaborators Busta Rhymes, Timbaland, and Ciara.
Beginning July 4 in Vancouver, the 24 city tour will kickoff in Vancouver before making stops in cities like Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, New York and Toronto before closing things out on August 22 in Rosemont, Illinois.
“This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts,’” Elliott said in a press release, reports Variety. “Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour.
“Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family!
“So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!”
