Days ago it was reported that the Fugees suddenly canceled their US tour dates just days before they were due to kick off. Now, it seems one of their members has something to say to his fellow Fugees.
According to TMZPras just released a new record in which he takes direct aim at Lauryn Hill who he believes is the reason the Fugees continue to be dysfunctional in the eyes of their fans. Dubbed “Bar Mitzfa,” the new song finds Pras immediately airing his grievances about the state of the Fugees, “Still waiting to lose, don't hold his breath/They took a bite out of his doubt, I control the rest/Don't me you blame put the blame she messed up/Not another dime is what I told Clef [Wyclef Jean]…”
Since the tour's cancellation was due to a lack of ticket sales, it seems Pras isn't too happy with the reputation Lauryn Hill has built for herself over the years, including arriving hours late to her own shows and canceling performances. of blue.
TMZ reports:
We're told the song was recorded sometime last week when Pras had to shut down… after low ticket sales shut down the legendary hip hop trio's reunion plans.
Remember, Pras agreed with the weary fans that Lauryn's reputation for being late and missing shows justified them boycotting the concerts.
You have to think, Lauryn's delay threw up his and the band's schedule as well… not to mention any celebrity guests at the shows!!! After a while, everyone starts treating the tour like a big joke.
As much as we love The Fugees, we know that getting a ticket to their shows is basically a 50/50 bet as to whether or not it will start on time or even happen at all. And we all know why that is (no shots).
That said, Pras has skipped his fair share of Fugees shows, but with all the legal setbacks he's faced over the years, you all know he might have needed this tour more than his fellow “Fugee-La”s. I'm just saying.
How or even if Lauryn Hill (or Wyclef) will respond to this cut is anyone's guess, but if this were 1999, it would be the talk of the town. Now, in 2024? Meh.
