Ever since The Fugees broke up in the late 1990s, there have been rumors of the group reuniting. In 2004, there were rumors stating Lauryn Hill was going to release a new album, produced by Wyclef Jean. She was also rumored to be helping Pras reach a truce with Wycelf and The Fugees were to reunite.

In 2006, a brief reunion took place. The result of this reunion was their "Take it Easy" single. Initially, the reunion was heavily promoted, with the song being featured in a commercial. But, slowly, the project fell apart. Before an album could be released, each member of the group went their separate ways.

Wycelf Jean has been the only artist from The Fugees to maintain a successful career. Lauryn Hill has only released one solo album, to date. Pras has been out of the spotlight ever since the group broke up. Earlier this year, Pras and Wycelf ended their feud, but both denied this was the first step in another Fugees reunion.

Jerry Wonda was a very happy man during the 1990s when The Fugees were dominating the charts on all levels. Wonda was the manager of the group and he was a little hurt when the group decided it was best to take some time off. As the manager for the group, Wonda wanted them to continue making their money until it was really over. Now, years later, Wonda says he has been in contact with all the members and he is highly confident The Fugees will be getting back together.

Wonda was quoted saying The Fugees were "definitely getting back together."

Fresh off the release of No Boys Allowed, Keri Hilson is already thinking about her third album. She has enjoyed tremendous success and wants to keep things moving.

Ever since 2004, there have been rumors of Lauryn Hill working on a comeback album. Hill is regarded by many as the best female artist of all-time. She is truly able to sing beautifully from the heart and dominate the mic with the best rappers. If her comeback album is really coming next year, Hilson wants in.

Keri Hilson plans to release her third album next year and she would love to work with Lauryn Hill. Miss Keri admitted she spent her childhood looking up to Lauryn Hill. Not only was she a major fan of Lauryn Hill, but Keri Hilson was also a big fan of The Fugees. She would love nothing more than to help their biggest artist return to the spotlight of the game.

While Keri Hilson would love to merge her next album with the Lauryn Hill comeback album, she would not change her style. Instead, Hilson wants to stay in her lane as Hill does. She appreciates how candid Hill is in her music, but she has no desire to change her style. Many popular artists lost their followings when they changed up their style for the sake of entertainment. Along with a new album from Keri Hilson, 2011 will also see her headline her own concert series.
