US EditionPras Michel Dismisses Lauryn Hill Lawsuit
Pras Michel dropped his fraud suit against Lauryn Hill amid allegations of tour mismanagement as he prepares to start a 14-year prison term for conspiracy.
- On Wednesday, March 11, Pras Michel voluntarily dropped his lawsuit against Fugees bandmate Lauryn Hill. The case, which involved claims of fraud and mismanagement, was dismissed without prejudice.
- Michel had accused Hill of "misrepresenting critical financial information" regarding the Fugees' 2023 reunion tour. He alleged she maintained "complete control over the business aspects of the tour" while mismanaging funds.
- Hill denied the accusations, calling them "baseless" and "full of false claims." She claimed she provided a $3 million advance to help Michel, while he alleged Hill refused a $5 million Coachella offer.
- The lawsuit was dismissed "without prejudice," meaning Michel could potentially refile later. Both parties agreed to bear their own legal expenses per the motion filed Wednesday.
- This development occurs shortly before Michel begins a 14-year prison sentence later this month. A federal court convicted him in 2023 on charges related to a $100 million political conspiracy.
