Pras Says He's Ready For A Fugees Reunion

Ready or not, Pras Michel is down for reuniting with his Fugees bandmates Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill.

“Listen, if either one of them called me and said, ‘Hey, come break bread,’ why not?” he told Confidenti@l.

There’s been no shortage of bad blood among the trio, who worked together from 1992 to 1997 and then gave it another shot in a 2005 tour. Soon after that tour ended, Michel said George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden were more likely to get together for coffee than he was to work again with Hill and Jean. Now it seems he wouldn’t mind having a Fugees reunion of some sort.

“No matter what happened, why not?” Michel said. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at without them. And vice versa. I don’t know how they feel about that. But I know how I feel about that. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without those two.”

Michel hasn’t been in touch with Hill since she was released from federal prison in October after serving three months for income tax evasion. But he plans to try to talk to her soon — and has already spoken to her family.

“I spoke to her mom before she went in, just letting her know, ‘Look, if she needs anything, I’m here for her,’ ” says Michel. “At the end of the day she’s still my bandmate.”

He added, “I personally haven’t spoken to her [Hill], but I’ll reach out to her, obviously. I know she’s busy dealing with her family,” he says. “I’m still waiting for her to hit me back. At some point I know she’ll hit me back. It’s love, love. That’s what it is.”

Musician-turned-filmmaker Michel is wrapping up production on a flick about Haitian pop star-turned-president Michel Martelly, and Hill will perform a solo show Sunday in Washington, D.C.

Jean is headed to Jamaica, where he’ll join the Dec. 26 Sting 30 concert and share a stage with artists including Elephant Man, 2 Chainz and Beenie Man.

Michel doesn’t blame fame for driving a wedge between him and his bandmates.

“Look, success — all it does is amplify who you really are,” he says. “If you’re an a—hole with no money, and you get money, you’re just gonna be a bigger a—hole. If you’re a hermit with no money and you get money, you’re gonna buy an island so no one can get to you.”
