Pras Michel Sues Lauryn Hill for Fraud

Prakazrel “Pras” Michel has filed a lawsuit against Lauryn Hill, accusing her of fraud and breach of contract related to a planned Fugees reunion tour that ultimately fell through. In the complaint, Michel alleges that Hill unlawfully took 40% of the tour's profits upfront and manipulated the terms to benefit herself, knowing he was facing legal troubles from an unrelated case. Hill has vehemently denied these claims, stating that the lawsuit is baseless and that she had to cover most of the tour expenses, including a $3 million advance given to Michel to help with his legal fees. She contends that the tour was planned irrespective of the Fugees involvement and claims Michel has failed to repay his loans. The legal battle highlights a significant rift between the two artists, stemming from their long-standing partnership. As both sides prepare for a potentially contentious court battle, the future of their relationship remains uncertain.
