Lauryn Hill was hit with a lawsuit by her Fugees bandmate Pras Michel that he filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday (October 1). Pras claims Hill defrauded him during the group’s shortened 2023 tour, while also alleging that Hill’s “gross mismanagement” was responsible for the recent cancellation of their 2024 tour. Pras’ lawyers claim that Hill exploited his considerable legal bills in order to get him to sign on for the 2023 tour with false promises, which enriched Hill at the expense of her bandmate. The lawyers allege that the deal “was actually a devious attempt to make a big score for herself by generating millions of dollars from a Fugees tour,” where Hill “took full advantage of Michel’s vulnerability to carry out her scheme.” Hill responded to the lawsuit by stating, “This baseless lawsuit by Pras is full of false claims and unwarranted attacks. It 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.” (Billboard)
