Pras Michel Sues Lauryn Hill for Fraud

Lauryn Hill has publicly criticized her Fugees bandmate Pras Michel's lawsuit against her, labeling it as 'desperate and unfortunate' amid accusations of fraud and breach of contract linked to the canceled 2023 Fugees reunion tour. Michel claims Hill mismanaged the tour's finances and took unilateral control over its contracts, including rejecting a $5 million Coachella offer, which he argues was a sign of her 'narcissistic tendencies'. Hill countered that she incurred significant expenses herself and that the tour was originally planned as a celebration of her album, with her attorney stating that Michel had received a $3 million advance. Michel's lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, accuses Hill of manipulating him during his legal troubles and alleges that the tour was planned to fail financially. Hill's attorney contends that the lawsuit is filled with false accusations and that she had intentions to execute the tour regardless of the Fugees' involvement. As the legal battle unfolds, Hill is set to perform in Europe with the group, but Michel will not participate in these shows.
