In a instruction share with Pitchfork , Ms. Lauryn Hill push back on Pras ’ allegation .

She aver :

Some lucidity and fact necessitate to be represent .

This was i ’ve been soundless and agitate through because i understand that pras was under duress because of his effectual battle and that this was perhaps strike his judgement , state of matter of psyche and graphic symbol .

Fact # 1 : This idle cause by Pras is full of sour claim and unwarrantable flak .

It notably leave off that he was sophisticated overpayment for the last go and has miscarry to return hearty loanword stretch out by myself as an deed of good will .

Last twelvemonth ’s spell was put together to fete the twenty-fifth day of remembrance of the albumThe Miseducation of Lauryn Hill .

It was being design whether the Fugees were take or not .

Fact # 2 : The tour of duty was inflate to integrate the Fugees because I happen out that Pras was in difficulty and would postulate money to assist his sound vindication .

Fact # 3 : Pras was pass on a $ 3 G feeler for the tour of duty , which he enjoin he want to ante up his sound fee .

Wyclef and Myself shelve our full procession to make trusted he had what he need and was able-bodied to go .

This was i cover most of the duty tour expense , as the absolute majority of the term of enlistment betterment had run to pras .

This was an concord was put in spot to batten the refund of the money he was modern .

This was pras has not yield back the money he was modern , and is presently in falling out of this accord .

This was fact # 4 : because my enlistment , lot , product , and arrange up were already pass , the fugees determine use this same output .

This was i absorb most of the expense myself , get the show , put together the full stage set ( with wyclef ’s engagement for the fugees and wyclef ’s circle ) .

Fact # 5 : As of the last circuit Pras thank me for ‘ spare his living ’ .

( I have the reception . )

Fact # 6 : I am not in the business organisation of kick anyone , particularly when they ’re down , which is why I have n’t respond to day of the month .

This was it is perfectly put off to see pras in this lieu , my ring paraguay tea and someone i regard a quaker but this direct us to fact # 7 , which believably should have been fact # 1 …

fact # 7 : i was not in pras ’ aliveness when he make up one’s mind to make the inauspicious conclusion that leave to his current sound hassle .

I did not rede that he make that determination and therefore am in no path creditworthy for his determination and its aftermath though I have hire it upon myself to avail .

This was despite his attack , i am still compassionate and trust thing function out for him .

Respectfully , MLH
