Lauryn Hill’s Surprise Show At High School Reunion Grinds The Gears Of Fans

by

There seems to be a little bit of a divide in the Fugees camp and most of the blame is falling on Lauryn Hill. That’s at least what the iconic rapper and singer feels is the case, according to past quotes from her Instagram. “Some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour”. That’s what she feels led to her ultimately having to cancel the reunion tour in the states. Her making last minute changes to performances is nothing new, although past injuries have been a consistent sidelining factor. Still, it’s been a constant theme and fellow band mate Pras has taken notice of it as well.

In fact, he was even dissing Lauryn Hill on an unreleased song not too long ago. However, he claims it had nothing to do with her, the timing of it certainly would suggest otherwise. Pras also has been feeling the Fugees fans’ sadness and disappointment. “They are paying their hard-earned money to see you. We’re going on almost three decades of our existence, individually and as a group. To have people still interested in wanting to come see you, man, you have to be grateful”.

Lauryn Hill Gives Her Old High School A Night To Remember

If Pras wasn’t dissing Lauryn Hill on “Bar Mitzva”, he might be speaking out soon against her for real once he sees this video. According to a tweet from The Art Of Dialogue and an article from HipHopDX, Hill was recorded giving an impromptu show at her high school’s reunion. Specifically, the free medley show took place at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. She performed hits from her solo catalog and Fugees classics like “Ready or Not”, even altering the lyrics to show love to her alma mater. “CHS taking over / Buffalo soldier / Dreadlock Rasta“. Fans were quite upset about seeing this footage, as they are calling her out for performing at the wrong reunion. “She showed up a year late and sang to the wrong reunion”, one X user half jokes.

What are your thoughts on Lauryn Hill performing at her old high school for a surprise performance? Do you think Pras will have something to say about this impromptu show? Is this a bad look for Lauryn, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Sexyy Red Hosts Improvised Show After She Couldn’t Enter High School Due To Weed Smell

by

Sexyy Red has to deal with a lot of preconceptions and biases as not just a female rapper, but as a rapper in general, even when she’s trying to do right by the kids. Moreover, on Wednesday (April 3), she took to her Instagram Story to express her grievances with a high school in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri that she was meant to visit, but was denied entry to because she smelled like marijuana. The “Get It Sexyy” MC was still on school property, though, and eventually greeted students from atop her vehicle. Not only that, but she treated them to an impromptu performance of the aforementioned track, and you can see them scream along to the lyrics in a clip below.

“Look, so this school, I came up here, got cute, tried to talk to the kids, give them the word of the day and they’re going to put me off tell me I smell like weed,” Sexyy Red expressed on the social media platform. “B***h, you’re nobody, they ain’t come to see you, Otis! B***h, you heard who they’re screaming for,” she remarked against those who denied her visit.

Sexyy Red Speaks On High School Turning Her Away Due To Smelling Like Weed

Despite this setback and this reaction, folks will apparently have many more reasons to be excited for Sexyy Red in the near future. For example, Nicki Minaj recently teased that she might invite her on for a remix of her Pink Friday 2 cut, “FTCU.” That would certainly give the Barbz another great moment to praise, and would further cement the 25-year-old as one of the most in-demand hitmakers today. However, these are all just ideas and teases at the moment, so we’ll have to wait and see whether they end up panning out.

Meanwhile, there’s a certain theory going around that has her feeling unbothered, but that its proponent is standing firmly behind. Joe Budden thinks that Drake is being paid to promote the Hood Hottest Princess so heavily, something that she dismissed quickly. Whether it’s The Boy shouting her out or high school students going wild, it’s clear that she’ll find her deserved stardom no matter who’s cosigning her.

Justin Bieber Forgot Lyrics To “Stay” During Performance, Plays It Off

by

Even with artists performing songs dozens of times, we can’t blame them for slipping up here and there. Justin Bieber forgot the words to his The Kid LAROI collab, “Stay,” during an impromptu performance on Saturday (January 14). Moreover, they celebrated the opening of Michael D. Ratner’s OBB Studios in Los Angeles.

While that track came out in July of 2021, both artists are planning big for the future. LAROI announced his debut album The First Time and is dropping its first single this week. Meanwhile, sources reported that Bieber is closing a deal to sell his catalog for $200 million. However, he’s been mostly away from big stages ever since postponing his Justice World Tour last September.

Maybe it’s that lack of practice that prompted the Canadian superstar to forget the words. Furthermore, both artists performed a stripped-back version of their still-enduring hit during the celebrations. While some might be frustrated by their favorite artists forgetting lyrics, Bieber played it off charmingly.

“It’s been difficult for me to trust / And I’m afraid that I’ma f**k it up,” Bieber sang. “Ain’t no way that I can leave you stranded / ‘Cause I don’t remember the words and that’s crazy.” When the crowd realized what was happening, they didn’t react with disappointment. Instead, many cheered and applauded after seeing an honest mistake. After all, millions have seen a song performed live, but how many have seen it messed up like that?

Regardless, after the commotion, the “Sorry” singer continued his performance and closed out strong. “You know that I know that I can’t live without you,” he sang. “So, baby, stay.”

Meanwhile, “Stay” appeared in the news earlier in the month for continuing to break records. Moreover, it cemented its staying power after becoming nine-times platinum per the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Given its popularity, it’s no surprise it landed third on Spotify’s most streamed songs of 2022 and sixth across all streaming platforms. Not bad for a year-and-a-half old song. The Kid LAROI continues to build his success.

For those unfamiliar with OBB and Ratner, he directed Bieber’s recent YouTube documentaries: Seasons, Next Chapter, and Our World. Also, OBB co-produced the films, the third of which is nominated for Best Music Film at the 2023 Grammys. Moreover, they are also behind Hailey Bieber’s YouTube series, Who’s In My Bathroom?
