Considering Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti issues and Lauren Hill’s tax troubles, it was only a matter of time before Pras got in on the legal struggle, too.

The third member of the Fugees is suing a director for $70,000+ in money the rapper/producer says he put down a few years ago out of his own pocket to create a documentary about being allegedly kidnapped by Somali pirates.

According to legal docs filed Monday, Pras hired Marshall Tyler back in 2009 to direct a documentary film called “Paper Dreams”— about the rapper’s real-life, death-defying incident with pirates off the East African coast.

In the suit, Pras claims he was “taken captive” by Somali pirates sometime in 2009 — however multiple reports say Pras, and his film crew, merely witnessed the famous capture of the Maersk Alabama in April 2009.

According to his lawsuit, Pras says he put up $70k of his own money to cover filming and travel expenses –but says after the footage was shot, Marshall failed to hand it over.
