The Fugees

The lead defense attorney for convicted rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, from the hip hop group Fugees, reportedly used an experimental AI program to generate his botched closing argument. A new legal filing argues that, “The closing argument was deficient, unhelpful and a missed opportunity that prejudiced the defense.”

A founding member of the 1990s hip-hop group the Fugees was enmeshed in political conspiracies involving millions of dollars in foreign money under two different U.S. presidents, federal prosecutors said as his trial got underway with opening statements.
