Pras Michél, a founding member of the Grammy-winning hip-hop group The Fugees, has filed a lawsuit against his bandmate Lauryn Hill in federal court. The lawsuit accuses Hill of fraud, breach of contract, and gross mismanagement related to their canceled 2023 tour. Michél alleges that Hill sabotaged the tour by mismanaging its setup, marketing, and budgeting, and by rejecting a $5 million offer to play at Coachella due to personal grievances. He also claims Hill attempted to take over the trio’s trademark and diverted funds for personal gain. Hill has responded to the lawsuit, calling it 'baseless' and 'full of false claims and unwarranted attacks.'
