(GEMS RADIO)—Pras, member of The Fugees, has sued fellow band member Lauryn Hill for fraud and breach of conduct.
Hill calls the claims “baseless” and “full of false claims and unwarranted attacks.”
Pras said that their reunion tour was a scheme and ploy for attention for Hill. Pras said that he was not paid for the brief tour. Hill canceled the shows due to serious vocal strain and that he was in fact overpaid for the reunion shows.
“[H]e was advanced over payment for the last tour and has failed to repay substantial loans extended by myself as an act of goodwill,” Hill wrote. “Pras was given a $3M advance for the tour, which he said he required to pay his legal fees. Wyclef and Myself deferred our full advances to make sure he had what he needed and was able to go. I covered most of the tour expenses, as the majority of the tour advance had gone to Pras.”
There was an offer on the table to play Coachella as well and Hill was enraged with jealousy that No Doubt was featured as the main act.
