Pras Michel, founding member of the Fugees, is facing yet another legal delay — but this time, it’s due to a serious health scare.
Full story below…
According to reports, the rapper recently underwent emergency colon cancer surgery, forcing the federal court to push back his sentencing in his high-profile conspiracy case. Originally set for this summer, the hearing is now pushed back by a month.
One of the members of Pras’ legal team, Erica Dumas, has issued a statement to Complex to explain the situation.
She said:
“Pras was unable to attend his scheduled sentencing hearing on Friday due to emergency medical surgery to remove cancer from his colon. We wish him a complete and speedy recovery as he navigates both his legal matters and his health journey.”
In 2019, the 52-year-old was indicted for allegedly aiding in the illegal transfer of $865,000 into Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign. Secondly, the rapper was accused of helping Jho Low, a Malaysian businessman, launder $73 million.
Now, he must wait for the defining moment in his legal battle.
