Former Fugees star Pras is teaming up with one of U.S. President Barack Obama's biggest fundraisers to launch a private equity fund to invest in renewable energy. The rapper, real name Praskazrel Samuel Michel, is joining forces with businessman Frank White, Jr. and venture capitalist Shomik Dutta to found DuSable Capital Management LLC. The trio hopes to oversee a $500 million (£333 million) to $1 billion fund which will concentrate on boosting green power in the U.S. Michel tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "I'm fascinated that as the most powerful country, we should be No. 1 in energy and infrastructure, and we're not. We're trying to do our part." The new partners met during the original 2008 campaign to get President Obama into the White House, when White raised more than $10 million (£6.6 million) for his election coffers.

He did well on the electric avenue... this should be right up his alley... good for him...

pras is in the mix ?? lol sounds shakey lol

(AllHipHop News) Fugees co-founder Pras Michele is caught up in a bizarre political scandal unfolding in Malaysia.

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into the activities of Pras, who has been connected to a Malaysian financier named Jho Low.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Justice Department is investigating over $1 million dollars in donations Pras made during the 2012 elections.

The Justice Department said their investigation revealed Pras received over $20 million dollars from Jho Low and they want to know how the donations were used to back efforts to re-elect President Barack Obama.

The claims against Pras have emerged as part of a larger controversy involving the ongoing 1Malaysia Development Bhd fund.

The Malaysian government claims Jho Low and his cronies siphoned billions out of a fund owned by the government and deposited them into accounts they controlled.

Documents obtained by WSJ show Jho Low put $20 million dollars into two accounts controlled by Pras in 2012.

The rapper then handed over $1.3 million to the Obama campaign in September and October of 2012, and another $1.2 million to a super PAC named Black Men Vote.

Investigators want to know if the money was used to promote Malaysian interest in the United States, on behalf of Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is accused of stealing over $1 billion.

No hate but I wouldn't ever let Pras manage money for me. Still a VERY GOOD LOOK tho for him to be associated with people like that in those circles. If he plays his cards right he should turn over multi-millions of dollars. You'd have to work very hard NOT to make money in private equity especially in today's environment with U.S. companies sitting on more cash than they ever have in their history and acquisitions and mergers popping off left and right as a result.

Brotha @Sion said that shit. Ole boy is caught up in some shit with the money

If you had to pick a Fugee to invest your live savings with who ya got?

Lauryn Hill has had periods of being batshit crazy and pretty sure Wyclef was alleged to be siphoning off Haiti relief donations.

Pras might still be the best choice, lol.
