Pras on Donating $1.2 Million of His Own Money to Help Obama's Election

- While notably being a Fugees member, Pras, found his way into politics after seeing potential in President Obama in 2004 before his successful two-term run, in which he gave $1.2 million to a Super Pac in support. "This is why I donated to the Super Pac. We wanted to bring out Black men between the age of 18-25 to go out and vote in these swing states, and the swing states were Ohio, Virginia, and Florida." He explained the strategy worked and gained Obama those three key states, adding. "I got introduced to this Super Pac called Black Men Vote-and it was like I said-to go help register Black men to vote, and so I donated the money to the Super Pac.
Pras' political stance isn't abnormal when you've witnessed stars like Jay Z, Beyonce, P. Diddy who backed presidential candidates in the recent years, and according to the artist, he believes the best way to "take control" is through political moves versus protesting in the streets. "The minute we got the right to read, we stopped reading. The minute we got the right to vote, we stopped voting." He explained. "We, as Black people, don't understand that there are certain things that we have to take control of for us to take control of our destiny. Sitting here protesting with a picket sign in 2016 when that was effective in 1966, is not as effective today."

This might be Vlad’s biggest case, some of his greatest work 😂😂😂
I
Am
Dead 💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s becoming way too much of a coincidence how all these guys keep snitching on themselves on his show, it’s nuts, I’m surprised they haven’t played this in court.
Facts🤣🤣😂😂 Years in the making
@@Insertnamehere287
Still found him guilty on all 10counts
" yo where you getting this information from??" I love Vlad but he's the Feds lmaoo
lol
😂😂😂
i was about to clown him until he said that! But that expression on his face is priceless!
Lol even Pras dont trust him. He's exposing all his private information
supepacs donors are public info required to report monthly
This aged well
This is what got him looked at by the FBI
The Feds has just entered the chat... 😂 Officer Vlad strikes again. See the look on Pras face when it was brought up? Lmao. “You know you done fucked up right?”
Ladies and gentlemen…. They got him ….
1.2 million to a election system that doesnt even exist?
damn
feds calling the feds, feds
Who’s where after the inditement?
Me. I came here immediately after I read about it. Vlad is the fucking Feds or KGB or some shit
“I’m starting to think you CIA”
- FBI
super pac is that when Tupac comes back to life ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop it... 😂😂😂
Lmaoooo 😭😭😭
With 1 million dollars he could fight racism by building a Black Economy. But no give it right back to the oppressor class.
The Joe Budden Podcast brought me back here.
Pras one of these dudes who look like and sound like he wanna fight u on some real shit. The last couple of vids have started on him looking like he wanna knock vlad out.😂😂😂😂
The level of negativity on this post is AMAZING. SMH. Pras is an intelligent brotha who puts his money behind his actions and words. Much Respect.
I'm saying. I love his interviews. He's definitely an intelligent man. But these ignorant buffoons can't see that
Obama was owned by Jewish billionaires yet he's smart to help that cause ? Lol okay
photoholicflix very intelligent brother.
@@lordoffrog2354 and thats all the super pac is!! let em know!!
Who puts Malaysian* money behind his actions
It would have been better if he put that money in scholarships for underprivileged kids etc.
Vlad interviews will put celebs on the Federal Radar. Russell Simmons, Pras, AR-AB, Ralo, Tsu Surf, etc etc etc
Those Celebrities, put themselves in those situations. Just don't do the interview!!!
i came here for the "wyclef stole money from the haiti relief fund" comments. boy am i disappointed.
Damn he got locked up for this very vid🤦🏽♂️
Pras was about to beat Vlads ass when he said 1.2 million donated.
I expect this to be a flashback by the morning
Wait....is this the reason why Pras was arrested.? Did this interview contribute to the investigation? 🤔
Yeah. The information wasn't even anywhere when this video came out. Note how he was surprised and said "i'm beginning to think you are CIA." He donated 1 million of Jho Low laundered money.
Vlad an informant..now this man been arrested for investing in his beliefs...Dmn Pras..
you mean using foreign money to influence an election? this is worse than russia gate. flashback clip incomming
Facts. Dude is the feds.
Inspirational stuff...
the attention span is unfortunately low,people dont realize or understand politics.
+djvlad you're an underrated interviewer.
can't feed the kids with inspiration tho.....m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5646472.html
"turned around the whole country"......www.msnbc.com/msnbc/economic-recovery-not-ferguson-and-black-america
if you talking to me your welcome.
Watch this interview will be used against Pras when he's on trial.
Being a black man or a women and being president doesn't mean jack. having integrity and not being bought off. That would be historical.
I felt like my intelligence was insulted throughout this whole interview.
Indeed it was ...
He's being charged as an informant and agent for China in 2023. So yeah, you were being lied to
It was 😢
$1.2 million wasted! Obama did very little for African American people. Trump, with his racist ass, will probably end up doing more.
Revenant, Truth!! They'd rather depend on bigger welfare checks than take personal responsibility to fix their situation. They support Obama strictly for his skin color and ignore the fact that his party's policies support higher taxes and regulation to pay and keep people welfare dependent and less on free enterprise, lower taxes, and less regulation. People must have voted for Obama strictly because he's black or that they really like welfare. That shows the intelligence in his party's voters. Wake up people.
RESPECT TO MR PRAS. HE CAN DO THIS OR THAT, BUT ONCE, HE CREATED THE GREATER PIECE OF SOUND EVER. LOVE.
"Who told you that? Who told you that!!!!" - Pras - "I'm starting to thing you are the CIA" -Pras "I read it on Wikipedia" - Vlad .. "Oh!! what's that?" - Pras "It's on the internet" - Vlad
He just got arrested on this......
And there we go, Pras, indicted in Malaysian money laundering scheme...
Wow, I absolutely love this. Well done, Pras.
lol you gotta be the stupidest
1.2 mil donated and a plan target T-shirt. that's more like me. I need more interviews of Pras.
Pras is speaking truths here that most people would rather ignore...to their detriment.
Why he look surprise he spent that much money on the thumbnail?? Lmao
Too bad they will use this video as evidence
Pras is one cool ass Hip-Hop Head. Mad respect brah.
Yes Pras, I have heard of the Koch brothers. Smh.
DAYIM...He just got locked up for this 😂😂😂 Vlad whats going on ??😂😂😂
Pras: Definition of an educated Haitian. Knowing his roots, I'm not at all surprised that he made the financial investment move that he made, partly making sure (in a major way) that we witnessed in our lifetime the 1st black president of the "United" States of Amerikkka. Haitians: One of the most underestimated group of people in the world next to African Americans. TRUTH!
man this dude is no joke ...VLAD ...back up and give him 50 feet !!!!
glad to hear Pras is still breaded up. most rappers go cold and blow there money instead of invest it.
🤣🤣
Good intentions but I think we need to start in our own communities building great schools, gardens etc.
Seriously, someone enlighten me on this... It seemingly couldn't get any better.. we had the first black president, from the streets of Chicago and a single parent household, rise up against all odds to the highest seat in the land. We already had decades of Affirmative Action and civil rights policies prior to his 8 year term. My question is, what has he done to raise up black America and improve race relations??? Trayvon Martin and Freddie Gray incidences occurred well into his presidency and he has done nothing to solve the underlying issues. If he couldn't solve those problems, who can???? Hillary?? Oprah?? Take personal responsibility and stop depending on your "heroes" to do it for you.
🤣😭 This was the first verzus…..CIA vs FEDS
Pras understands the nuances of electoral campiagns pretty well for a foreign agent, no?
"the koch bros. i bet you're audience never even heard of them"
yup.he knows the vlad audience well
I know who they are. And he's right😂😂
This didn't age well 😮
Salute to Pras, agree when he said that we don't use rights we have fought to get.
Obama was NEVER 'son of a slave.' His dad from Kenya. (a country in Africa)
This dude would be a good actor. Some of his speech and facial expressions are so dramatic lol
Flashback vid in 3,2,1.....
“I’m starting to think your CIA man”. He’s now looking at 20 years in prison.
Does he not know that major donations are publically registered? Has he not seen the various boycotts of companies because the CEO donated to Republicans?
what a waste of money them billionaires behind all this shit laughed at went "hand it over big fella"
If Method Man saw this interview he would describe Pras like "he's like,
he's like that dude that'll sit back and watch you play yourself and all that, right?
and see you sit there and know you lyin' and he'll take you to court after that
cause he the Inspectah!!!!"
why did i read it just like meth 😂😂😂 suckin back spit in my mouth and everything lol
Lol how many times did you comment the same shit on different videos?
Where is the flashback you slippin
Pras don't be caring how he's puttin African Americans down. He's Haitian.
Obama is not the son of a slave!! His father was born in kenya he came to the us long after slavery was abolished. 7:10
"Shout out to Pras, this nigga is high as shit!!!" - Barak Obama
Just googled this guy he's worth $20 Million. And Wyclef is worth $10 Million and Lauren Hill $2 Million. How is Pras this rich?
Apparently not now.
a donation is not an "investment." Vlad asked him about the donation, not the other way around.. I love how so many people with no money know how to tell a millionaire what to do with theirs. If Pras has the conviction to support whatever, I'm am sure he does not care what you think.
He's got a conviction alright... 😂😂😂
@@Carl_Aznable yeah dude was getting defensive because he knew Vlad was on to him.
pras gets mad everytime vlad comes out wit a deep ass question 😂😂😂
If Vlad surprises Pras one more time he's gonna drop him. Next video he's swinging for Vlad.
A lot of people that don't even have 10k in their checking account are now mad at how a multi millionaire is spending his money and giving him advice. smh. I swear the interwebs is full of clowns..His politics His money His choice as a citizen. Real fucking simple. Some of you be the same ones that will let your car sit on the side of the road for 4days cause you can't afford a $120 tow till payday but wanna come online and advice a grown man that's self made. GTFOH
Because Vlad spends the majority of his time interviewing lowlife's Vlad believes he really thinks out of the box and has become something really great. But in comparison to elite and really educated people like pras, Vlad really doesn't have a clue. I dismissed Vlad completely when he didn't know who Gary vaynerchuck was.
Who is he lol
He looks mad as hell that he did it in the thumbnail
He wasn't the son of a slave, his moms white and his dad's from Kenya !
Should have held onto that money and donated it to someone that would really help the black community, Bernie Sanders.
no liberal cares for black people, just use them.
Buddy Look like He Saw Sum On The Thumbnail 😂
plus it's a tax write off so it's not like he gave the full 1.2 million away
Pras done scared Vlad again....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm now a huge fan of Pras thank you Vlad
I just got an Asian massage. I feel like I went to the strip club, paid for a prostitute and didn't have sex.
yeah, the video was cool too.
u young people call him dumb, he attended Harvard university
Let this black man speak! Why would you comment a contradiction ? You wouldn't say shit in person???
i like this interview, Pras is smart and said some real knowledge instead of buying a watch or car he donated money to a cause
For those you that dont know, you as a citizen of the US, can create your own Super Pac, just fill out the necessary paperwork and make money off of it...legally...all the while helping your person win the election.
I'll show you a super pack 😤
I take it Pras don't want to talk about the Fugees break up.
Its funny that he had to explain the super pac to Vlad. Worst money he ever donated.
vlad tried to cut that out with his shit editing
I'm pretty disappointed with Pras in this interview as well. His logic from his perspective is pretty sound but I disagree with his perspective totally. Economies go in cycles and most of his term has been with opposition. The president is a charismatic guy though.
Capn Cummings a white dude just couldn't understand.
Thumbnail got me howling lmfaoooo
he didnt do anything. and only black people have tge mindset to excuse a person from doing anything for them. he has done things for other minorities just not the one he belongs to
that first part had me laughing and yo you should start doing youtubers like bring them on?
only dumb niggas be depending on presidents to make changes in there life.......you're in control of your own destiny
Pras is on one. I love him but he needs to lighten up.
"how to waste money 101"
A little condescending to say that this audience prolly never heard of the Koch brothers 🤔.. And definitely would not donate to a super pac if I had that money.. Would have went much further and set a better example if focused on maybe his community.. But dope interview regardless ✊🏽
The podcast brought me here
the minute we was allowed to vote we stop voting? ummmm
Yeah I understand the point he was trying to make but that made no sense at all
didn't pras get locked up then pardoned by Obama ??
I haven't even watched this yet but I can already tell he wasted 1.2M in politics
It's all the same doesn't matter who you vote for.
Chris Adams you’re smart
Rather than give a 1M to as Super Pac, whcih most Black & Brown ppl don't have I rather they fight to get money out of politics becuase as we've seen money is too much of a corrupting influence. Afterall when donors gives Ms to a politician most if not all expect something in return, whether that be trivial or not.
Snitch recognize snitch
1.2million to what?What a waste bro!
💯
This thumbnail is screaming for a meme
😂 😂
$1.2 million dollars??? Someone please let him know that presidents are selected and not elected. If he really wanted to help he should go find a few homeless families and donate the $ to them.
So Pras by his own logic, "insulting the commander and Chief is not just an insult or criticism but racist, then I guess we're all "racist" towards Jimmy Carter a president most people don't know about..
