What REALLY Happened to Lauryn Hill?

Lauryn Hill garnered mainstream attention as a member of the Fugees, before branching off on a solo career. The 1998 release of her debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, infused reggae, with hip-hop, and neo-soul. It was certified eight-times platinum and Lauryn snagged five Grammy awards, including Best New Artist.
Hollywood came knocking, but as the industry attempted to push her further and further into the limelight, Lauryn became even more uncomfortable with her celebrity status. More than 20 years after her album’s release, we’re still waiting for the follow-up. How did her career get derailed so drastically? Let’s find out as we explore what really happened to Lauryn Hill.

I was a huge fan of The Fugees and Lauryn Hill. It’s bulls*** how she tried to lie to the world that “the miseducation” was all her and cheat so many others out of their due credit and share. Then tried again on her following album making people sign off their credit or “do it for God.” Then still got in trouble for attempting to dodge $2.5 million in taxes. Then kept up these relationships with men she knew was married and playing the fence as they pleased between her and the wives. That mess will eff up a woman at the soul level, it’s terribly destructive, it’s fatiguing just hearing about it. Her downfall was her continuing to live foolishly one way or another. There is no way to continue to live life wrong and things not go haywire in an ugly spiral. She had something awry in her spirit of wanting things that were not hers with seemingly little regard for who what belonged to, in her relationships, her creative projects, money, etc. 😟😔😢 No judgement, just stating the hard truth of life. If this stuff is at all true this is a sad story, she claimed herself a wise woman but lived like a fool and paid a price…and Wyclef is a flippin’ mess, yuck. 😣 I’m sorry I saw this.

Lauren learned a very difficult lesson that takes people decades to realize: don’t be trying to save other people when you yourself are either not strong enough or not in a safe place. You both will drown. Peace to a woman who inspired so many but had to be dragged through the mud in order to find redemption.

[@breevaldez1104]

Another hard lesson is that Love is not enough. Love can’t save you or anything.

There's something to be said about the dangers of falling in love with the wrong person.

[@grace-fc2kf]

It is always great wisdom to check out the mind before the midsection. Women---especially beautiful talented ones have to be very careful not to sell themselves short. KNOW THY WORTH! This is where strong, involved parenting and mentoring can prove to be life-changing. Your life will be a powerful magnet to all sorts. The counterfeits have a way of being most compelling in their arguments as well as their general persona. Remember Eve! Parents begin to talk to your kids about the importance of choosing a suitable life partner, even before puberty. Seek the Lord and pray before calamities land on the doorsteps. Unfortunately, most women know what they want, but many don't have the strength and confidence to firmly make their request(s) known before any entanglement.

I believe MTV Unplugged was her masterpiece and hers alone. There was too much hubris on her part with MOLH. She had too much to prove with everybody and that's why things went down as it did. She took up the guitar, wrote every song, and that album was ten times realer than MOLH.

Many women have lost themselves trying to find love. Her story is so sad. I can relate to being a strong woman who suffered through so much while being a mother.

Its hurtful and demeaning to a person. I wish she had chose better but pray for her healing. Life is crazy as hell sometimes
