Pras denies responsibility for the tour’s cancellation.

Pras, a longtime member of the Fugees, reportedly took a shot at his former bandmate Lauryn Hill on an unreleased track titled “Bar Mitzfa,” obtained by AllHipHop. This comes in the wake of Hill canceling the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Anniversary Tour. On the track, Pras raps, “Don’t blame me, blame her/She made the mess/Not another f*ckin’ penny, what I told ‘Clef.”

Hill’s decision to cancel the tour came just before the 18-date run was set to begin in Tampa, Florida. The iconic group was scheduled to perform in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, and Dallas.

The Fugees Tour Still Set To Be International

When announcing the cancellation, Hill pointed fingers at the media, accusing them of perpetuating a “narrative” about her reliability at concerts. She wrote, “The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal. The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performances yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years! Performing for my fans is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.”

Pras initially responded to the cancellation news during an interview with TMZ Hip Hop. “I saved her reputation for 20 years by not telling my side of the story,” he told the outlet. “But oops … cat’s out the bag.” For now, the UK and European dates are still expected to proceed.

The Fugees formed in 1992 in South Orange, New Jersey. The group originally consisted of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel. They gained fame for their unique blend of hip-hop, reggae, and R&B, and became one of the most influential groups of the 1990s. Their breakthrough album, *The Score* (1996), is considered a classic and includes hits like “Killing Me Softly” and “Ready or Not.”
