Fugees (Pras, Lauryn Hill, and Wyclef) sold millions of records in the mid 90s, and were very successful as a hip hop group. But they broke up at their peak. And, as much as fans and record execs tried to get them back together, the group never recorded another full length album after their highly successful The Score (1996) album. In a recent interview, Wyclef spoke on the role he played in breaking the group up.
"I'm sure he (Pras) definitely blame me. And if you go back to the old articles one time, you know where Pras was like, ''Clef is the cancer of the Fugees.' You remember when he said that?" he said. "At the time, you've gotta understand his frustration though. It was more like, I really wanted this thing to work and you shouldn't have messed with the girl. Matter of fact, didn't I warn you about messing with the girl?'"
'Clef continued by stating that as a man, he takes the blame for dismantling something that was going well for others. He said that he admitted to the affair beacuse he wants to be looked at as a human being.
"Now, as a man and looking back, definitely take blame in the sense of having fell for Lauryn at the time," he said. "It was important that I explained it in the sense of vulnerability, meaning not as 'feel sorry for me' type of dude but as human beings. At times, we lust and for me, it was not even lust at that time because it was spending too much time anyway. In the book, I describe at that time, it was more of a muse type of relationship."
