Lauryn Hill has been at the center of controversy a few times. The first time was when she accepted an invitation to sing before a worldwide group of Catholic officials in celebration of Christmas. Instead of celebrating the birth of Christ, Lauryn Hill chastised the group of Catholics for their condoning molestations of young boys by Catholic priests.
Catholic officials condemned her chastisement as rude and bad mannered, but Lauryn Hill stands by her statements because they are true. She believes that the Catholic religion should repent for its actions and that they should encourage their followers to worship God and not men.
The other controversy that surrounds Lauryn Hill is an alleged racist statement that she made. The statement in question is "I would rather have my children starve than have white people buy my albums." Ms Hill denies ever having said such a statement, as she does not hold such sentiments.
