What Happened To Lauryn Hill? | Will She Ever Do Another Album?

By the time 1998 wrapped up, Lauryn Hill truly personified the definition of someone who had it all. Youth, beauty, a career in entertainment that couldn’t be more on fire after creating number one albums as both a member of a hip hop group and as a solo artist, as well as a man she deeply loved who would make her a mother. But then, it all fell apart. In this video, we’re gonna get to the bottom of all the rumours and speculation to find out what really happened to Lauryn Hill.

[@rnbmatters8224]

the media still owes her huge apology. wyclef was a grown ass adult preying, and grooming her while she was STILL a teenager in high school. they will call her crazy and everything else but won’t speak on that factor.

[@thepubknight6144]

I've always noticed someone is always called "crazy" whenever they call out sex trafficking, pedophilia, or human trafficking

[@Wc7823]

Yup. People need to do the math on their ages at the time.

[@christhornycroft3686]

She's female, so anytime a woman or girl gets in trouble, it's always her fault in many people's eyes. Look at Britney Spears right now. She was sexualized from the time she was 16. We see some of the results of that. A lot of young female singers from the 90s and 2000s have had serious issues. As someone who had an abusive, manipulative parent, I'm not blaming anyone except the adult abuser. When you're a kid, you don't know what to do with yourself, and hopefully you have adults in your life who can show you the way. It sounds like in Lauryn and many other young female artists' cases, that didn't happen. The adults used her for what they wanted and - you know what? Where's Chris Hansen when you need him?

Life and heartache may have taken a toll on Lauryn Hill. But, she is STILL one of the most STUNNING artists I've ever seen. Good ol' Howard Stern and Robin. 🙄 It would've been foolish to cancel Lauryn over her comments. I hate how what she said was misconstrued. She more than likely wanted to use her music to uplift her own people. She's a fellow May 26er and she has one of the most DISTINCTIVE voices ever! Hope she'll get the help she needs in regards to current vocal strain. 🙏🏾

Bro literally when you did the Fugees I was like where is the lauryn hill video at? Ironically you uploaded today.. 😭🤭

[@JohnDeDominicano]

That Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is huge. It has sold nearly 30 million copies globally and is one of the world's greatest selling album of all time. It broke many records like multiple Grammys including Album of year, went #1 on Billboard 200, and had a #1 hit with "Doo Woop/ That Thing" plus the album went Diamond by the RIAA with 10 million units sold in America alone😮😮😮 Plus lets not forget it was inducted into the National Library of Congress and is Auntie Lauryn's only album. I personally believe that Auntie Lauryn didnt want to keep selling herself to the demonic industry. Allegedly, in order to get #1 hits, albums, awards and mega success, you have to pay up to the elites and i believe she didnt want to continue selling herself to them. Notice how she was blacklisted, her image was tarnished and she went to jail after leaving the higher echelons of the industry. I believe she pissed the elites off allegedly. Will she make another album, maybe independently, but an album like her 1st, no because she is not selling herself to the elites no more and she does not have the industry backing that she once did allegedly.

[@cadillacdeville5828]

Thanks for this. Its unfortunate that some choices she made didnt have better outcomes..

[@lionelluva]

Lauren is a legend in her own rite. Her album is still in my rotation to this day but she has to be on time for her shows. Very unprofessional.

The Fugees' debut album Blunted on Reality was released on February 1st 1994 the same day Hieroglyphics member Causal dropped his debut album Fear Itself and Green Day dropped their 3rd album Dookie and those albums were released the day before Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released for the Sega Genesis

Mental health matters. So sad that people struggling with poor mental health are called “crazy” and other insults. Everyone goes through their struggles. Lauryn is amazing. I am happy with everything she has done solo and with Fugees even if I never hear anything new again.

19:12 gives Whitney vibes a bit. I think, as with most of these general entertainers, the industry messes with their total equilibrium.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Whenever I hear about a young female artist from the 90s and 2000s who mysteriously disappeared or ended up messed up, it pisses me off as a man. Someone call Chris Hansen. All she wanted to do was sing and these highly created, older guys she looked up to used her and screwed her up. When you're 18, most of your decisions are going to be impulsive and not well thought out. It's up to the adults in your life to make sure you don't fall off a cliff. From the sounds of things, a lot of those grown men pushed her off the cliff.

I feel vindicated by this video. When Lauryn was pregnant with Zion I read in either Word Up or Source Magazine (I'm really dating myself 😂) that Wyclef and Lauryn were ezpecring their 1st chaild together. I knew nothing about her and Rohan. So when I mentioned it at school duri g a discussion of her, I got the strangest looks and was called stupid.

[@rbags934]

The whole pregnancy thing is weird because I’d heard she was pregnant with wyclef’s baby and he made her have an abortion as he was married. Then she got pregnant with Rohan’s child and decided to keep it. She is truly an icon and I’m glad I got to see her live (yes she was late but the little girl in me would’ve waited all night for her) ❤

She was always overrated to me. Don’t get me wrong, She’s a good artist. But i always felt that her reputation as this “musical genius” was inflated and exaggerated. Musical Geniuses are able to “make magic” multiple times. Michael Jackson, Prince, and other geniuses made multiple classics. Lauryn has only one album (an album that literally details a side chick scorned). One that she claimed to have done all the work on and got sued for telling that lie. I just find it interesting that after all these years, Lauryn has yet to create “another classic”.
