Last month Fugees rapper Pras Michel was convicted on money laundering and conspiracy charges for his role in helping fugitive Malaysian billionaire Jho Low garner influence with U.S. Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump [click here if you missed that].
After his conviction Pras was accused of being an FBI informant, which he flatly denies...
From TMZ
Pras sternly tells us he never worked for the FBI or CIA -- he says his testimony proves it, and encourages everyone to check the transcript. He refuses to be lumped in with Tekashi 6ix9ine who cooperated with the feds while testifying against fellow gang members in court.
He makes a fair point -- Tekashi pled guilty, but Pras was found guilty by a jury. If he'd struck a deal to work with prosecutors, he would have entered a plea, and not left his fate to the jury. That's just how it works, folks.
