Headline: Lauryn Hill responds to bandmate Pras Michel's 'disheartening' lawsuit
Caption: Michel sued the singer for fraud and breach of contract, among other claims, on Tuesday for cancelling some of their 2023 live dates and all of their 2024 tour. He accused her of mismanaging the 2023 tour and leaving him "empty-handed" despite the shows being sold out. In a lengthy statement, Hill claimed his "baseless" lawsuit is "full of false claims and unwarranted attacks" and omitted the fact that she and their bandmate Wyclef Jean deferred their full advances to give Michel a $3 million (£2.3 million) tour advance to help pay for his legal issues.
