The court hearing of Fugees rapper Pras Michel related to his conviction on illegal foreign lobbying and conspiracy charges was postponed for health reasons.

Michel was due in court on Friday for the hearing to establish how much money he must forfeit due to the 2023 convictions. But in a filing last week, his lawyers said he had “experienced a significant medical concern” that would prevent his appearance.

In a statement to Billboard, Michel’s spokeswoman revealed that doctors had discovered colon cancer during a routine check-up.

“Pras missed Friday’s sentencing hearing while undergoing emergency surgery for colon cancer removal,” the spokesperson said, according to Billboard. “We stand with him and his family and wish him a full recovery as he addresses this serious health matter.”wl
