Pras, the co-founder of classic hip-hop legend The Fugees, simply wanted what he paid for. Well, maybe just a little bit more than that.

On September 21, the "Fu-Gee-La" rapper sued the owners of a North Hollywood recording studio because they allegedly took his money and then robbed him of studio time. According to TMZ, Pras was cheated out of thousands of dollars and "double-crossed" by two men, who "double-booked" the recording studio.

He claimed that he scheduled for a recording session and paid the two owners Jason Gluz, the president and the chief executive of 17 Hertz Studio, and Chasen Spellman over $5,000 to rent their recording studio in Los Angeles. However, when he arrived to the studio, upon attempting to record music, he never got a chance to record a single song due to the studio being double-booked: the owners had rented it out to someone else.

When the pair was confronted about Pras' lost studio time and the designated costs, they refused to refund the rapper.

Furthermore, under his full name Prakazrel Samuel Michel, the Fugees member filed a lawsuit in a Los Angeles county small claims court. According to the court document, he sued the studio owners seeking for a total of $9,000 - $5,600 for he rental cost and additional $3,400 for hotel and airfare that he spent while he was in L.A. to record music.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time for Pras filing a lawsuit. On November 26 of last year, he sued against director Marshall Tyler for missing documentary footage filming "Paper Dream," which was about Somali pirates off the East African coast. When the film was finished, he claimed that Tyler hasn't handed him over the movie footage after repeated requests. Pras sued to either get the footage or to retain $70,000 that he personally invested in the movie to cover filming and travel expenses.

Pras is surely assertive about his ownership, and when he feels that he is deprived of what he deserves and paid for, that's when everything goes wrong.
