Sources say Lauryn Hill was living in the Caribbean for a while as the mother of four children by Rohan Marley, son of the late Bob Marley.

But now, insiders say, Hill is living in New Jersey with her mother — and the four kids — and may be in significant debt.

Her only big solo hit album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," was released 10 years ago, if you can believe it.

It ain't Clef's fault that Lauryn went AWOL. It's her own fault. If anything Clef put Lauryn on and she turned her back on the Fugees, even Pras said she's the problem for them not reuniting. Clef don't own Lauryn one cent.

Lauryn is one of the greatest female artists of all time put her personal problems are her fault and her fault only. She was on top of the world and she threw all that shit away for Rohan Marley??? COME ON NOW!!

DAmn DG... u beat me to it.

So for the most part I'll just echo what u said. Lauryn controls her own destiny. When she signed that 6 cd deal... I was excited like damn... 6 more "Miseducations"...holla!

Then she dropped the Unplugged cd which counted as 2... It was a lil weird at first because I wasnt expecting anything anywhere near that.

But after listening to the lyrics...and getting over her novice guitar skills... I realized it was DEEP... and I appreciated it!

What I didnt reazlize is how TRUE the Unplugged cd was...how it was 100% about HER, and not just women in general.

I didn't realize how much pain she was in...
SO NOW...when I read newspapers and see her in clown outfits, or looking a zombie... I UNDERSTAND!

Her hubby really fucked her life up...
But she's still L-Boogie. If she could "find piece of mind"... take a long hot bath in some "water"...

I think she'll be fine...she's definitely been through enough to put together one of the greatest cd's ever!

I'm still rooting for her...

I concur. Lauryn is fucking shit up for herself. She needs to get up off of the ground and stop pitying herself. I'm not exactly sure if that's the problem but I do know that the world longs for her return.

The ISLANDS are what fucked her up in the first place!

That's where she started fuckin' with dumb dude...
...Where she became for the most part his slave...
MARLEYS are KINGS in JAMAICA!

Her being in Jamaica means she's his slave for the most part....she couldnt do shit... couldnt even mention his name in public during interviews...

He kept her from a lot of shit... I'm just glad that she's free...FINALLY!

I hope she pulls through mentally and emotionally, fuck financially....MONEY comes and goes... ya sanity doesnt!

Lets get back on track. First off, L-Boogie is her own enemy. If you check her interviews from the last two to three years, she is always blaming someone else for doing something to her. As much as she "preach" out letting go, maybe she should. I think once she does that she will be back. I cant knock a sista for wanting to take care of her family, she is a woman, thats what we do. She will be back, hopefully.

Lauryn Hill is a great talented artist. But like so many before her and so many to follow, she is flawed. She is the master of her own destiny and it is really up to her to make a stand. Poverty may just be the right motivation. All this emotion makes for great song writing.

Come on L-Boogie, snap out of it and do your thang!

Hahahaahaaa, for the record, this IS MY FIRST TIME EVER commenting in the rumors section, because that's just it, RUMORS... FEMALE SHIT... GOSSIP....

Wiz10L, good lookin' out for goin' in on and checkin' the shit outta gay ass REALRAPMD .... that's all I have 2 say... Any fuckin' idiot who really BELIEVES that Lauryn is broke... haahahaa, wow... even if she was, WHAT A&R wouldn't sign her and let her drop somethin? Or do you think that the Fugees wouldn't reunite and drop some fire? Or, even if she's still tied to Columbia, that they wouldn't back her? Be serious... with that being said.. I'm out... 1

p.s. Realrap, you a bitch... bitch ass...

I dont know too much about Lauryn Hill, but I understand she was a great lyricist. It's obvious that she has millions of fans, if she felt the need to get up and continue living her life she could, because judging from these comments, she can still sell records.
