Last month she angered the judge after failing to deliver on her prison to settle her tax debt. However, she can now breathe a sigh of relief after settling the debt at last minute.
Her lawyer says she raised the money through loans secured by real estate and also a new deal with Sony Music that will see her releasing new music and a new album.
Last week Lauryn Hill surprised her fans with a new single “Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix).”
