Hill has six children, five of them with Rohan Marley, the son of reggae musician Bob Marley. In 2012, she pleaded guilty to tax evasion and served a three-month prison sentence the following year. Lauryn Noelle Hill is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. She is often regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, as well as being one of the most influential musicians of her generation. Hill is credited for breaking barriers for female rappers, popularizing melodic rapping and for bringing hip hop and neo soul to popular music. She is known for being a member of Fugees, and for her 1998 solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which became one of the best-selling albums of all time. Hill has won many accolades, including eight Grammy Awards, the most for a female rapper to this day. Hill starred in the film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993). She later formed the group Fugees, alongside Pras Michel and his cousin Wyclef Jean. The group released two albums, including The Score (1996); which spawned the hit single “Killing Me Softly”, with Hill on lead vocals. It won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, making her the first woman to win the award. Afterwards, Hill collaborated with Nas on “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)”; and composed “A Rose Is Still a Rose” for Aretha Franklin. Her tumultuous relationship with Jean led to the split of the band in 1997, and soon after she began work on her solo album. Hill’s sole solo studio album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was released to widespread acclaim. It contains the songs “Ex-Factor” and “Lost Ones”. It debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, with the highest first-week sales for a debut album by a woman in the 20th century. The lead single “Doo Wop (That Thing)” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and made her the first artist to have debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 with their first entries, as well as the first female rapper to have reached No. 1 on each chart. At the 41st Grammy Awards, Hill set a record for the most nominations in one night for a woman, with ten; while winning five awards including Album of the Year, becoming the first hip hop artist to win the award.
