An idea sparked to honor and celebrate this 25th anniversary of The Score, but we see now it may not currently be our time for revisiting this past work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fact Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras were able to come together for a show in New York City prior to the cancelation was a miracle in itself. Shortly after The Score was release, the trio had a terrible falling out and it looked like they\u2019d never share a stage again. Wyclef and Hill admittedly had an affair while he was married to designer Marie Claudinette. According to Wyclef\u2019s autobiography Purpose, Hill also lied about the paternity of her son Zion and led him to think the child was his, when it reality the baby belonged to Bob Marley\u2019s son Rohan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>For more information:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/id.71446\/title.wyclef-jean-brings-out-lauryn-hill-at-essence-fest-to-perform-several-fugees-classics#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/id.71446\/title.wyclef-jean-brings-out-lauryn-hill-at-essence-fest-to-perform-several-fugees-classics#<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"enjoy-1208499222\" class=\"enjoy-after-content enjoy-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4334670924766984\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4334670924766984\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6055607388\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: HipHopDX New Orleans, LA \u2013 Wyclef Jean was among the many performers at the 2022 Essence Fest in New Orleans on Friday night (July 1).
