Fugees Pull Off Surprise Reunion During Rainy Global Citizens Festival In New York

The Fugees have once again reunited, and this time, they did so at the Global Citizens Festival in New York City.

Billboard reports that the reunion, which happened on Saturday (September 23), took place during Ms. Lauryn Hill’s performance at the venerated festival, which aims to bring awareness to food insecurities.

The outlet also confirms that The Fugees will continue to reunite throughout the year as Hill continues on the tour supporting the 25th anniversary of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

He continued: “Now 30 years later & look at us now. What a journey. @MsLaurynHill did us a solid by letting us not only letting us celebrate with her the classic #MiseducationOfLaurynHill but she also made a moment by bringing together her bredren @WyclefJean & @PrasMichel ……in what could possibly be one of the last times we will see this institution together in this setting.”

Back in September 2022, word of a potential Fugees reunion tour had begun picking up steam, but the tour ultimately was put on ice when Pras was hit with federal money laundering charges.

The Grammy Award-winning MC’s legal troubles made it impossible for the tour to continue. The legendary Hip Hop trio performed just one date in New York City last year before pulling the plug.
