"Fugees rapper Pras Michel reports to federal prison to begin 14-year sentence, vows to fight conviction
Michel was sentenced in November 2025 after a federal jury convicted him on 10 counts of money laundering and illegal lobbying in April 2023.
Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, founding member of the Fugees alongside Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, turned himself in Thursday to the Federal Correctional Institution in Safford, Arizona to begin serving a 14-year prison sentence.
As TheGrio previously reported, Michel was formally sentenced in November 2025 after a federal jury convicted him on 10 counts of money laundering and illegal lobbying in April 2023, and he filed an appeal in December seeking to have the conviction overturned. Entertainment Weekly reported that his surrender had been pushed back multiple times before Thursday’s reporting date.
“Today is a painful day for Pras, for his family, and for everyone who believes in a fair system of justice,” spokesperson Erica Dumas said in a statement. “Pras honors the legal process as he reports to begin his sentence. The FARA-related charges that led to his conviction are being vigorously contested on appeal, and his legal team believes the record will show that his rights were violated and the truth was obscured. This chapter is difficult but it is not his final one.”"

I'm sure Obama will think about him as he flies over Arizona on his way to his Hawaiian mansion. I'm surprised Biden didn't pardon him?
I got a Biden presidential pardon in the mail by mistake. I'm hanging on to it just in case.
