Pras to sue 50 Cent, Kyrie Irving and Rolling Stone for labelling him as FBI Informant

Pras, a former member of the Fugees, wants to maintain his good name and reputation. Pras is reportedly suing 50 Cent, Kyrie Irving, and the Rolling Stones for social media posts and articles that claimed he was an FBI agent.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Pras, born Prakazrel Michel, issued letters to the two stars and the storied publication, citing language used like “rat,” “government informant” and “FBI informant.” The suits will be executed out of Miami-Dade County.

“It is and was absolutely and demonstrably false for You to publish that Michel was a ‘government informant,’” Schwartz wrote to Rolling Stone. “Labeling a hip-hop artist such as Michel, the reputation of whom is dependent upon ‘street credibility’ and not being a ‘snitch,’ a ‘government informant’ most certainly tends to subject said hip-hop artist to hatred, distrust, ridicule, contempt and/or disgrace, along with injury in their trade or profession.”

During his trial, Pras admitted that he had voluntarily offered information to the FBI, claiming that he reported certain information to the government agency because he “thought the FBI should know.”

The general public seems to be shocked by this information, which also didn’t sit well with fellow musician 50 Cent, who has had his own share of legal run-ins. 50 posted on Instagram a screenshot of a news article which read;

“The Fugees Rapper Pras Admits to Being an FBI Informant.” 50 captioned the photo with: “I knew this fool was a rat. I’m glad I never fvck with this guy. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi” following three laughing emojis.

Kyrie Irving tweeted about the case, stating, “A whole FBI informant was in the Fugees for that long?? Got me Wondering how many more informants are in Entertainment/Media/Politics silently destroying revolutionary movements from the inside.”

Pras was found guilty of all charges, including conspiring to conceal important information, falsifying records, manipulating with witnesses, and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign power. He might spend up to 20 years behind bars.
