Pras Michel, the Grammy-winning rapper from the iconic Fugees, is making headlines once again, but this time for seeking clemency from the new president, Donald Trump. Despite his recent conviction in a $100 million extortion scandal, Michel is not giving up hope.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ from his jail cell, the 52-year-old artist revealed that he and his legal team are actively working towards a pardon from President Trump. Michel expressed his positive sentiments towards the president and his administration, stating, "There's always going to be love for any president, and we all gotta play our part."

With Trump's presidency still in its early days, Michel remains hopeful that he will receive the mercy he seeks. The rapper's journey from chart-topping success to legal troubles has been a tumultuous one, culminating in his conviction for conspiracy and operating as an unregistered foreign agent.

Caught up in the infamous 1MDB scandal, Michel's involvement in a web of international intrigue has put his future in jeopardy. Accused of using illicit funds to make political donations in a bid to sway high-ranking officials, including former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, Michel's fate now rests on the possibility of presidential clemency. As the world watches this high-profile drama unfold, Michel remains optimistic that his plea for pardon will not fall on deaf ears.
