Rumors
of a possible Fugees reunion have been swirling around for years, and according
to Grammy-winning producer Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis, they may be getting
back together sometime soon.
Duplessis, who produced many of the tracks on their diamond-selling sophomore
release "The Score, " claims that a reconciliation is imminent.
"I believe there will be a day when the Fugees get together, but everyone
in the group "s gotta " be ready," Duplessis told Rap-Up.com. "The Fugees
are definitely going to get back together. The time will come. You "ve gotta
wait, man."
The Haitian born self-taught musician had a little fun with the notion, tweeting
that he was in the studio with members Pras, Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill, as
an April Fool "s joke. News of the gag spread pretty quickly prompting several
phone calls inquiring about a reunion.
"In my studio, I was getting crazy phone calls and mad emails. My Twitter
was going heavy. People all over the globe were saying, "Is it true? We really
want the Fugees! "" he said. "Lauryn was getting phone calls. Wyclef
was getting phone calls. Pras was getting phone calls. I felt that if tickets
had gone on sale, it would have been sold out in two hours--globally."
Although the trio attempted to get back together years ago, Jean has since
thrown his hands up at the idea, publicly criticizing Hill for holding up the
process and calling her "mentally ill." After a slew of erratic public
appearances, which include showing up hours late for performances, Hill appears
to be getting back on track, even writing a letter to fans apologizing for her
tardiness.
