Wyclef Jean Explains Absence During Lauryn Hill & Pras’ Rock The Bells Reunion

Lauryn Hill and Pras hit the stage at the 2011 Rock the Bells festival in New York City, New York, but were one member short of a full Fugees reunion. Speaking with UsMagazine.com, Wyclef Jean explained that he was originally asked to appear during the show but a conflict kept him from participating.

“It wasn’t really a reunion,” he said. “I had a concert, but I got the offer to come. Pras was at the crib, so I said, ‘Pras, Lauryn wants me at Rock The Bells and I can’t make it.

So don’t you think you should just surprise her and pop up instead?’ So Pras shows up. And there’s two Fugees. Then they’re like, where’s the third? But that’s what happened.”
While he didn’t grace the stage with his former band members, ‘Clef didn’t entirely rule out joining forces with L Boogie and Praswell in the future.

“There’s an energy and a buzz about the Fugees that everyone likes,” he added. “I think that it would be exciting to see that happen again. I don’t know if it would be another album — but maybe a song!”


Rap Group Blazhay Blazhay Sues Wyclef Over "Danger"

Hip-Hop duo Blazhay Blazhay have sued former Fugees star Wyclef Jean for alleged illegal use of their memorable hit “Danger.” Blahzay Blahzay, comprised of DJ PF Cuttin’ and MC Out Loud, claim that Wyclef Jean violated their copyright entitlement by using elements of “Danger” in the 2007 song “Welcome to the East.”

Blahzay’s “Danger” was released in 1995, and immediately became popular in East Coast radio outlets.

The track utilized creative vocal samples, such as Jeru the Damaja’s “Come Clean,” and Gwen McCrae’s infectious 1975 hit “Rockin’ Chair” as a rhythm foundation.

After releasing an all-star DJ Premier-produced remix, the group released one album, 1996’s Blah Blah Blah.

The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court, and also names Sony BMG Entertainment as a defendant. The music giant alleged culpability stems from the song’s distribution on Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant, Wyclef’s sixth studio album.
