Fugees member Pras Michel has officially dropped his lawsuit against former bandmate Lauryn Hill just weeks before he is scheduled to begin serving a federal prison sentence later this month.
According to court documents cited by Billboard, attorneys representing both Michel and Hill filed a motion on Wednesday confirming that the lawsuit has been dismissed. The filing states that the case was “dismissed without prejudice, with each party to bear his, her or its own expenses, costs, and attorney’s fees.” Because the dismissal was filed without prejudice, Michel retains the legal right to refile the claims at a later date if he chooses.
Michel originally filed the lawsuit in October 2024, accusing Hill of gross mismanagement and alleging that she defrauded him during business dealings connected to the Fugees’ reunion performances. The complaint also claimed that Hill exploited Michel’s ongoing legal troubles to pressure him into participating in a Fugees reunion tour.
