Lauryn Hill Sued For Fraud By Fellow Fugees Member Pras Michél

Pras Michél, founding member of The Fugees, is suing his groupmate Lauryn Hill in federal court for fraud and breach of contract.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday (Oct. 1) in the Southern District Of New York, Pras Michél alleges Lauryn Hill grossly mismanaged the setup, marketing, and budgeting of their 2023 tour. The tour was cut short when Hill abruptly canceled the second half in November 2023, citing “serious vocal strain.”

The full list of claims includes fraud, fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, accounting, and refusal to permit an audit of The Fugees’ tour.

The suit also claims that Lauryn Hill has “tarnished the Fugees brand” due to “her habit of showing up late for shows, sometimes by as many as two to three hours.” Hill has continued to draw fan complaints for her chronic tardiness. Just this week, the singer reportedly hit the stage more than four hours late for a show in Nairobi, Kenya.
