Ms. Lauryn Hill Sued by Fugees’ Pras Michél for Fraud, Breach of Contract

Pras Michél sued Lauryn Hill for fraud and breach of contract over Fugees reunion tours, and her allegedly turning down a Coachella performance offer.

The Fugees founding member filed the lawsuit Tuesday, per Variety and Billboard, which alleges that Hill mismanaged the reunion tour, with his attorneys calling it a “veiled and devious attempt to make a big score for herself.” The lawsuit claims that Hill took advantage of the fact that Michél was facing large legal fees over a battle with the Department of Justice after being named a co-defendant with Jho Low who allegedly stole $4.5 billion from Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, when she asked him to join the tour. “Because of the gross mismanagement by Hill and [her company], who had taken far too long to close the deal with Live Nation, the 2024 U.S. tour tickets sales were dismal,” reads the lawsuit.
