Wyclef Jean Lends Support to Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill, Grammy Award-winning singer, was given a two-week grace period on her sentencing for federal tax evasion on Monday.  Hill, a solo artist and a member of  The Fugees rap trio, pleaded guilty in June 2012 for failure to file federal tax returns from 2005-2007, when she earned $1.8 million.  She faces up to a year in prison for each charge.

Fellow Fugee member, Wyclef Jean recently stated during a with interview with Green Lantern and Boss Lady for Invasion Radio,

"If she’s listening, my door is always open."

Lawyers for Hill stated:

they made a $50,000 payment toward the back taxes however still need to come up with another $504,000 by May 3^rd and Hill has lined up a deal with a “hard money-lender” for a loan which was secured by two real estate assets which they expect approval of the loan sometime this week.

The final sentencing hearing has been rescheduled for May 6^th.

Do you think Lauryn will be able to get out of this mess?
