Rise and Fall of Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill went through hell.
Blog King, Mass Appeal
NEW YORK — Lauryn Hill finally revealed who sabotaged her métier and, surprisingly, it’s two individuals she trusted the most — “Fugees” cohorts Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel. The bombshell was dropped in recently released documentary by Misstee. Lauryn was only 13 years old when she first hooked up with the group and Wyclef tried to get in her bed even though he was 20. The age difference definitely qualifies as statutory rape. Luckily for Lauryn, Pras intervened before she could spread her legs. But, when Lauryn got older, she had dalliances with Wyclef despite the fact he was married to fashion designer Marie Claudinette. Realizing he would never divorce his wife, Lauryn got into a relationship with Bob Marley’s son — Rohan Marley (who was also married) — and they would go on to have 5 kids together. But during Lauryn’s first pregnancy, Wyclef assumed the baby was his. When Lauryn told him the neonate belonged to Rohan, Wyclef blew a gasket and treated her like sh*t.
Lauryn subsequently blamed Pras for not safeguarding her from the industry.
Just like that, there was trouble in Fugee paradise.
As tension grew, Lauryn would ultimately egress the group for greener pastures. In 1998, she released her debut solo album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” and it was a smashing success — earning 5 Grammy Awards. But the “Doo Wop” singer was sued for not giving proper credit and she ain’t been the same since. Lauryn’s downfall was inevitable when she joined religious cult leader Brother Anthony. The 48-year-old artist shaved her head, fired her management team and her next album flopped big-time.
“I had a tape of [Brother Anthony’s] teachings,” Pras told Rolling Stone.
“It was some real cult sh*t.”
Because she failed to file tax returns for 5 years, Lauryn served 3 years in a federal penitentiary for tax evasion. U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said she failed to report $2.3 million in income. What’s sad is Lauryn had ample opportunities to earn more mazuma to pay her damn bills. If you recall, Lauryn shunned several endorsement deals because companies wanted to remunerate her — not the Fugees. Pepsi wanted to put her in a television commercial but she turned it down, saying, “Without them I’m not doing it.”
Turns out, Lauryn was loyal to a fault.
She should’ve said “f*ck them n*ggas” and got the bag.

They did Voo Doo on her, no doubt about it, all the signs are there, someone that was close to her for sure… karma is a bitch…
In my opinion, Wyclef wanted his cake and eat it too. So when she started dating someone and not keeping him as her priority, bruised his ego and control over her snatch.
Clef fucked her up
Praz started that mess when he admittedly said HE took her from her mom’s house at 12 YO. Praz you probably used her too. Look at what you got caught doing. She was also with Wycliffe! She did’t want to be past around like Aliyah! Y’all idolize people too much. Lauren saught and thought she found safety in the love of a/the wrong Rasta Man. Rohan wasn’t about that life. Her album was one of the first I ever purchased. Lauren is traumatized and that is evident, whether you are an empath or a narc, it’s clear to see. That’s why she cried during the debut of water!.
Lauryn is still great. She didn’t want to gain the whole world and lose her soul.
I think most men are demons no matter how much religion they speak or weed they smoke
She definitely had a weak mind and was tryna find her wayyyy!!! Super strong will just all the men in her life wanted something from her and she couldn’t never really be creative!! She wanted to sing and the nigga wanted to fuck soo nooo I won’t put out an album on your label smh 😮
Lauryn helped ruin her own career. And Robert Glasper said her attitude was nasty. Wyclef definitely preyed on her.
Her selfishness and willingness to let artists make most all her music for her and demand she gets all the credit goes to show what a wannabe user this woman actually is.
Imagine telling the people that wrote your lyrics and composed your music that they don’t deserve any recognition!!??
Lauren can only perform, she is now trying to blame the men she used to get all she wanted because she FAILED.
People can sabotage your career but no one can ruin a career. She gives the people around her too much power.
I don’t feel her career is ruined. She is an outstanding artist and can make her comeback at anytime. She has proven her greatness!!! I think it’s just her preference.
Lauren Hill can absolutely have a great comeback. All she has to do is make an album. I will be one of the 1st 100 billion people to run out and by it.
I’m not 100% sure if she can make a great comeback. Since she’s been away for over a decade, if she decides to suddenly comeback, the expectations for her new album from ppl will probably be bigger than what they were back then…
I suppose her first experience of the music business is tainted because of the relationship element between her and Wycelf. That would’ve left a bad taste in her mouth. Then motherhood on an epic scale along with being spiritually groomed would’ve also helped kill any passion she had for music. She’s been through a lot in a short space of time. I wish her the best in finding herself as a person, however I do not expect to see any good music coming from her until she has fully healed from dramatic past life. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
She wouldn’t sale her soul so they call her crazy and set out to destroy her. They failed.
Lauren Hill did in one album what most of can never do in a lifetime.
Aww… she was just a baby 😔
They wanted her to sacrifice her child and she choose not to, trust me when i tell you!
She got cancelled for adultery💯❗‼️ white AMERICANS don’t play this🤦🏾🤦🏾♀️ have to be married or girl next door to be accepted, heck Rhianna just married to get back into game🤷🏾 Meagan throwing out pitches at low level baseball games 😂😅🤣😭😂😅🤣😭 Kanye apologizing & begging right NOW 💯
Wyclef was just another black predator, created by American decadence. Lauren made 2 supreme moves against Wyclef’s childish behavior, she had a baby by another man and went solo. Wyclef wanted to string her along as he remained married to someone else.
If you are a BW and you are not sleeping with a BM, the BM will not support you.
Lauryn had no business messing with married men and there’s no excuse for that. Also Wyclef and Rohan were also wrong for taking advantage of her.
I always thought Rohan’s cheating ass and their 5 bad ass kids drove her crazy smh 🤷🏿♀️🤦🏾♀️
I’m glad that Lauryn walked away. I did not see it as her downfall like Blog King said. I would love to see her perform again if her creativity is still strong and deep.
Why do people say Rohan was her husband⁉️ This man had a wholeass wife 😮 and never divorced her and after she had all those babies he left her and went back to his wife🤬 Wyclef was married during the alleged affair 😳. So as far as her ruined career it was a little of both she was partially responsible for herself. Now older supposedly wiser showing up late and being hard to work with is on her not the industry 🤷🏿♀️🤔
Lauryn Hill & downfall don’t even go together. Lauryn Hill walked away because the devil was in the business and she wanted no parts of that. Lauryn was and will always be a legend in music and in life.
Blog King trippin. If this woman dropped an album next week people old and young would be listening
Considering everything she has gone through, it’s a miracle that she’s still alive.
Lauryn HILL IS THE FEMALE GOAT (MISEDUCATION) Is The GREATEST ALBUM EVER MADE (THE INDUSTRY DIDNT WANT HER MAKING BEAUTIFUL CLASSY SELF ESTEEM MUSIC) IT DOESNT FIT THE AGENDA OF CARDI B AND THE STALLION WE KNOW THIS
She is the best artist of all time to me. What ever she does she has my support. She is beyond wise! She is Power, and they didn’t want that. Scared of what they can’t control.
I put Lauryn Hill in the highest regard. Up there with Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. She’s a blessing to me.
It’s more of a “Step Down” Lauryn made a decision to leave the agenda driven industry . She refused to conform and participate to lead everyone astray. Unplugged was awesome! It went platinum and it was Grammy nominated. Lauryn didn’t “fall” …she could rule this industry if she decided to play the game! Everyone is influenced and is praying for her return. 👑
This woman has RAW talent and I’d love to see her make a full come back. I think she would succeed in gospel, she nailed Sister Act 2!! She’s FOREVER A LEGEND🫶🏾💙‼️
I will always love her as an artist, I can understand her choice in leaving. If we look at artist now, some of them are really just digging themselves in graves, never checking their mental health, emotional health etc. I feel she chose herself over the fame, It wasn’t worth it and I truly respect her for that Her music will always sing to my soul💜✨
She was heartbroken when she wasn’t chosen and ran to Marley.
When you hurt, don’t jump into a new relationship. Take time to heal. Then she had Zion.
Her daughter said she use to beat her hard. She was very angry and not over him.
Why you need to forgive and let go of that man who just don’t want you.
Her album to this day is 🔥.
The sweetest thing I’ve ever known, helped me heal my heart break back in the day.
Intelligence, skills and beauty! One of the musical GOATS ❤️
Mfer left Lauryn for a white woman🤦🏾♂️….She should’ve stayed with Clef
The Wyclef ‘entanglement’ was a bad decision. But even with that one mishap, you cannot take away the impact LH had on hip-hop and RnB cultures. She was the trendsetter…
I blame Lauryn’s mother for letting her leave home at that young of an age
The 90s what a great time for women in music. Lauren did not have to sexualize herself at all for people to appreciate her music and talent. I can’t say the same for the artists of this generation. Is it that they lack talent? Or is it that the only ones that get success and recognition are the ones that take their clothes off?
I’ll never forget watching Sister Act 2:Back in The Habit 28 years ago and getting goosebumps from Lauryn Hill singing Eye on The Sparrow . I knew from that moment on she was going to be one of the most iconic artists that ever lived . And then miseducation comes out 4 years later!!!! U couldn’t go anywhere without hearing a song off that album. Say what u want about this woman but we will NEVER get another artist like her in this lifetime!!! 1 of 1!
How can Wyclef be upset that the baby wasn’t his and he’s married smh
Wyclef was definitely an asshole. He wanted her as his side chick and wanted her baby to be his and even got the label to side with him and not work with her. Bruh you had a whole wife smh. Leave her alone
She’s still the same mega racist witch bitch she began as when she first sold her soul to the agenda of mass deception. She has so many damn kids she needs the D.evil’s stage circuits to feed them. Super sad. The audience is STILL so fucking stupid yall keep feeding the wrong people who keep LEV37SZ hidden. Enjoy your curse when you DEL3TE THIS!!!!X!!!!
Everyone go listen to her songs “Neurotic Society” “Consumerism” ( read the lyrics as well ) and then name 1 modern mainstream rapper on that level of complex wordplay and depth , and don’t say Eminem anybody can rap a bunch of simple nursery punchlines and psychotic verses that go nowhere real fast. Lauryn Hill is a legend.
One of my favorites she was never afraid to speak her mind very free spirited,I’m glad she got recognized for all of her hard work she produced.And always remember anytime these artists turn their lives around and don’t wanna sell their SOUL the MUSIC INDUSTRY come and get them they bury their entire career.
This industry is not for here. She’s a free flying soul.
She is the goat now, yesterday, and forever!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Lauryn is still making money to this day her music is still being sampled
She was loyal to them and they were not. They should of told her to go do the Pepsi commercial because it is PEPSI. Sad
I wish she would come back. I miss true artists
