The Fugees' Reunion Was A Shock To Pras

Following the Fugees' recent reunion at the 2023 Roots Picnic, sources shared some behind-the-scenes info with TMZ Hip Hop. A representative for Pras revealed that the performance came as a surprise to the artist, who is currently awaiting sentencing for recent charges of conspiracy and fraud. The source also shared that the trio didn't have an opportunity to rehearse prior to the last-minute performance, which featured six songs from their 1996 LP, The Score. Many fans speculated that the reunion could have been the last they saw of the Fugees for a while, however, sources suggest they "stay tuned!!!"




In April, Pras was found guilty of 10 charges surrounding an alleged international conspiracy plot. Though he has not yet been sentenced, his charges could leave him spending over 20 years behind bars. "We are extremely disappointed in that result. But are very, very confident in the ultimate outcome of this case," Pras' lawyer David Kenner stated following the verdict. "If we do move to a sentencing hearing I remain very confident we will certainly appeal this case. This is not over."

Pras' Legal Battle

In August of last year, the Fugees canceled their scheduled reunion tour, citing COVID-19 as the cause. The cancelation came amid Pras' legal trouble, leading to speculation that it had more to do with the artist's legal battle than the group was letting on. Amid the battle, Pras has also faced accusations that he was an FBI informant. He has continuously shot down the allegations.




"Look, I was never in the past, present, or future an FBI or a CIA informant. Never ever. If people want to check it out, look at the testimonies. They could see that all within the records, and all the DC courts," he stated last month. He also said, "This is not a Tekashi 6ix9ine situation, respectfully." "Because he admitted he was an informant, basically. So I was never. I never said I was," Pras claims, "I am not now and never will be an FBI or a CIA informant."
