  7. Pras Michél founded the Fugees with Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill in 1990, released two studio albums with the band, went solo, was nominated for a Grammy for "Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)," collaborated with Queen for the 1998 remix of "Another One Bites the Dust," and became a documentarian. Then in 2023, he was found guilty of 10 criminal counts, all of which added up to him being dubbed a Chinese spy and sentenced to 22 years in federal prison. Michél spoke to @Variety about how it all happened, from his first meeting with financier Jho Low to the circus-like trial that involved Leonardo DiCaprio testifying for the prosecution and an AI-generated closing argument.

  13. Pras Michél was found guilty. Not any of the white people involved with this case, but only the black man. I think he broke the law, but so did they. Why is he being punished? (hint: racism)
