Fugees Rapper Pras Drops Lauryn Hill Diss Track After Cancelled Tour

Just days after Lauryn Hill abruptly cancelled the highly anticipated Fugees reunion tour, band member Pras Michel has taken aim at his former bandmate with a scathing diss track.

The song, titled “Bar Mitzfa,” was teased on Pras’s Instagram Story before being exclusively released on TMZ, further fanning the flames of controversy within the iconic hip-hop group.

The Fugees’ reunion tour, which was set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hill’s groundbreaking album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, was supposed to kick off on Friday, Aug. 9, in Tampa, Fla., and continue through major cities across the U.S. and Europe, concluding in Amsterdam on Oct. 22.

However, just days before the first show, Hill announced the tour’s cancellation, citing “sensationalism” by the media over past cancellations as a reason for low ticket sales.

In “Bar Mitzfa,” Pras doesn’t mince words. He directly blames Hill for the tour’s failure, rapping, “No one will remember: click bait beefs, how many Gucci bags you owned, bogus excuses. People will remember: How you made them feel, if you kept your word, if they could count on you, if you come on Time!!!”

The track, which is now exclusively on TMZ, also touches on Pras’s own legal struggles.

Last year, Pras was found guilty in a political money laundering conspiracy, a high-profile case that has marred his public image. In the track, he references this ordeal, rapping, “Obama’s name in the discoveries had to plead the fifth!”

The Miseducation Anniversary Tour was set to kick off on Friday (Aug. 9) in Tampa, Fla., and stretch throughout the next few months, wrapping up on Oct. 22 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. The tour, which was scheduled to reunite Hill with The Fugees to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Billboard 200 No. 1 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, was also to feature music from The Fugees’ No. 1 album The Score, with Hill’s son YG Marley as the support act.

The 21-date trek was previously postponed in November after Hill revealed that she was struggling with vocal issues.

“As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month. I made it through each show by taking prescribed prednisone, but this can be detrimental to the body when taken in large amounts over long periods of time,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “In order to prevent any long term negative affect on my voice and my body, I need to take time off to allow for real vocal recovery so that I can discontinue the medication completely.”
