Days after it was reported that the Miseducation anniversary tour was quietly canceled, the rapper/producer and The Fugees member, 51, released a new track called "Bar Mitzfa" that appears to take aim at Ms. Lauryn Hill.
On the track, which Michel initially teased the song on his Instagram Story before TMZ exclusively released it on Thursday, Aug. 13., he seems to blame the "Ready or Not" singer, 49, for the demise of the tour.

“No one will remember: click bait beefs, how many Gucci bags you owned, bogus excuses. People will remember: How you made them feel, if you kept your word, if they could count on you, if you come on Time!!!” he raps.
On Aug. 9, Michel also commented on Hill and the tour cancellation to TMZ saying, "I saved her reputation for 20 years by not telling my side of the story but oops … cat’s out the bag,”
"Bar Mitzfa" also touched on the "Ghetto Supastar" artist's legal troubles over the past few years.
Last year, Michel was found guilty in a case surrounding political money laundering, which he appears to reference on the song when he raps, "Obama’s name in the discoveries had to plead the fifth!"
The Fugees’ reunion tour, which was set to kick off in Tampa, Fla. on Aug. 9, was supposed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hill’s 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, but was quietly canceled on Aug. 6, according toVariety.
The tour was set to hit major cities across the U.S. and Europe, wrapping in Amsterdam on Oct. 22.
Per the outlet, ticket holders had received messages from Live Nation on Aug. 6 saying, “Your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.”
A reason for the cancellation has not been given at the time, and reps for the band and for Live Nation did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
However, on Aug. 7, Hill confirmed rumors that low "ticket sales" prompted the tour cancellation, and assured fans her planned United Kingdom and Europe dates would still occur in the fall..
"With difficulty the decision was made to pull down our upcoming North American tour dates. The shows in the UK and Europe ARE MOVING FORWARD as planned," she wrote on social media.

The tour was initially rescheduled in November when Hill revealed she was battling vocal issues.
“As many of you may know, I’ve been battling serious vocal strain for the past month. I made it through each show by taking prescribed prednisone, but this can be detrimental to the body when taken in large amounts over long periods of time,” the "Doo Wop" singer wrote on Instagram at the time.
Hill continued: “In order to prevent any long term negative affect on my voice and my body, I need to take time off to allow for real vocal recovery so that I can discontinue the medication completely.”
