In an interview with Pras from the group The Fugees, he talked with us about the group being sued by Enya for using her sample, the problems the Fugees began having during their time as a team, and Wyclef and Lauryn Hill's relationship issues.
At the beginning of the interview, Pras let us know that Enya demanded they take her copyright off their album, but they couldn't. Enya settled for 3 million dollars from the group, but Pras let us know it was his idea to use the sample. "She lived in Ireland, so I said, 'Yo, this album gonna blow up, but no one's gonna hear this shit in Ireland,' the sh*t went number one in Ireland."
Pras also let us know the group began to have problems towards the peak of their career. When asked about Wyclef and Lauryn Hill's relationship Pras was reluctant to talk. "Man, I was counting my money man, to be honest with you." We also asked Pras about the book Wyclef wrote saying that Lauryn Hill became pregnant. "My goal at that time was from this point till I die, I never have a need or a worry. So all this other sh*t is for the birds." After more questions, Pras began to let us know he tried to take the neutral route. "You gotta remember Wyclef is my boy at that time, were like brothers, and Lauryn is my girl because I went and got her from her mom's house when she was only 12, 13 years old. So this is my man, this is like my sister, they got whatever going at the time... So what side do you jump on..?" He also made sure to prepare in case the group went down due to the relationship between the two. Pras said that the group's break-up was inevitable, and he tried to keep the group together but that, "Ego is a motherf**ker."
