www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/why-wyclef-jean-missed-the-fugees-reunion-2011229"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." “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!" ... So Lauryn['s camp] asked WYCLEF to appear at Rock The Bells.  Could this be an indication of a real reunion, or possible comeback? I think so, since apparently these two have gotten past their differences. I'm hopeful.

Wyclef following in Pras' footsteps and issues a public apology to Lauryn. He also apologized to Pras. It was on Marc Lamont Hill's show on TVOne in association with Black Enterprise. Neyo was interviewed on the same show. It was only a short clip. I will look for it on youtube maybe it will be posted. He needs to go on every radio show and print media as he did when he was degrading her.

However, I think his words did irreparable damage to Lauryn's character, and I honestly think there will always be some tension between Lauryn and Wyclef. An apology is a start, but time will tell if The Fugees can ever completely get over all their issues.  Really, some things are better left alone. |

Wyclef's apology starting at 6:20 Finally! It's great to hear him apologize. However, I agree that he needs to go to every media outlet that he trashed her and then he can begin to undo the damage he caused. Sometimes it's hard to take him seriously because he's always so proud and he always seems so conniving. Lauryn said it best, "Your movement similar to a serpent". |

It is about time he apologises, it is so true he seems conniving, i can tolerate all the nonsense he has said about her. The worst one is when he was asked about their relationship he called her "late night fun". I wanted to jump and give him a clap that was so disrespectful considering that Lauryn was never know for being with different men. Despite all this she always remained classy and never said anything bad about him.

Very interesting. I personally think he just felt left out because he didn't know abt them reuniting in NYC until everyone else found out. Since her and Pras are (seemingly) back on good terms he wants in too. I wonder what Lauryn thinks about it, if she's seen this.

@since I don't think that is the case. I think they have all sat down and resolved some of their issues. I know this interview was held at the first of September in Miami at Black Enterprise Golf & Tennis Challenge before Pras appeared with Lauryn on stage. Pras also issued an apology around this same time.

What could prompt such negativity towards a person like Lauryn? Is it because of jealousy (because she musically bodied him in every way possible), does he need the attention, did she wrong him and so he wanted to get back at her? If I were Lauryn, I would keep one eye open around Clef. |

I have a feeling that this man has never respected Lauryn as a partner. Rohan Marley even stated in one interview in 2008 that Wyclef and Pras are hypocrites they went to Sony and told the executives there that she is crazy. I dont trust him at all, Lauryn needs to work with people that truly care for her and respect her as an artist.

She deserves it. |

IDK. I think Lauryn is very particular and may ask for more credit than she deserves sometimes (she's stated that)...BUT Wyclef has been swinging back and forth on Lauryn. Pras seems to say whatever helps his name at the time. SO idk about the two of them. They are cousins and i think they see Lauryn is STILL booking shows after all these years on big stages even with her shortcomings over the years. They see her as money i think :/ cuz remember Lauryn is the youngest and i can see how they could have taken slight advantage of her when they first started out. Jealousy could play a part too. I mean Lauryn was chosen for her voice. Then she started rapping and SERIOUSLY outshined the two of them on the track. So what started as a family duo got overshadowed by this young girl with natural charisma and musical talents that are more celebrated in Pop music.

There is a video on YouTube of Wyclef on a private jet, straight up dissing Lauryn with his cousin Jerry Wonder. He said something along the lines of "Lauryn Hill, stop playing games, let's make this MONEY." Smh. This is not about the music, or the message, to him: Lauryn is on an entirely differently wavelength than both of them. I think what she meant when she told Clef he didn't have "the pulse" was that he no longer had the heart (integrity). He's not a rebel anymore. Lauryn is better off just doing her. |
