Bloom Vol. 25: Kids in the Sandbox
There was always a dark matter cloud hovering over my every move through my days navigating the mental health challenge of bipolar disorder. A brooding seriousness. What does that mean, exactly? If I began to feel significantly elated at any particular moment, I wondered if an uncontrollable sense of mania would soon follow my upbeat ways. I’d then feel Insecure, confused, doubtful, and inadequate. My mind was tensing up as I anticipated some sort of collision. It was a ticking time bomb that didn’t exist most of the time. I’d attempt to diffuse a force that wasn’t there. Inadvertently, that action would then produce a bomb. I was immensely troubled by how people would interpret my well-being and how that interpretation would change the course of their day. There is a concept called emotio...
Fugees Canceled Tour as Pras Michel Faced Jail for Malaysian Money Laundering Scheme: Report
In 2021, Fugees announced a reunion tour that they canceled four months later, with the group citing safety concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, a report from Puck.News suggests that the real reason had to do with member Pras Michel’s indictment in the 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, which the US Department of Justice has called the “largest kleptocracy case to date.” Michel faces long-term imprisonment for his work with Jho Low, the fugitive businessman who has been accused of moving $4.5 billion from 1MDB into his personal accounts. Michel allegedly worked on his behalf, intentionally failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and attempting to influence two different presidential administrations — by pouring in millions of dollars ...

Fugees Reportedly Canceled Tour Due to Pras Michel’s Involvement in Malaysian State Investment Fund Scandal
The reason for the cancelation of Fugees‘ highly-anticipated reunion tour may not have been due to health and safety concerns, but rather the legal troubles Pras Michel is facing for his alleged involvement with the notorious 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal. According to Puck.News, the 49-year-old artist has been banned by the Justice Department from leaving the United States and the “Fugees tour was eventually postponed after quiet negotiations over his bail conditions broke down.” Michel is currently facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted and is due back in a Washington, D.C. court on November 4.
