Sheryl Lee Ralph advised Lauryn Hill to explore other names besides
Young Lauryn Hill had big dreams for her musical project, and when she and Sheryl Lee Ralph were cast as mother and daughter for 1993's Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Lauryn shared her plans for the band she was about to start. On Good Morning America, Ralph recalled, “I remember Lauryn Hill telling me, ‘Ms. Ralph, I’m going to have a band, and the name is going to be the Fugees,’ and I was like, ‘Baby you will definitely have a band, but you may need to rethink that name.’ And she said, ‘Ms. Ralph, you oughta get it, Fugees. Re-fugees,’ and I was like, ‘Okay, I get it, but, rethink it.’ But she was absolutely right.” The Fugees released their first album, Blunted on Reality, in 1994 and their 7x-Platinum album, The Score, in 1996.



Sheryl Lee Ralph is optimistic about the prospect of Sister Act 3, and when asked about it on Good Morning America, she said “Absolutely. Just ask me!” Tyler Perry, the producer, has confirmed that the script is ready and they're just waiting on the Hollywood system to get the ball rolling. With a dream cast that includes Keke Palmer, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj, there's no doubt that Sister Act 3 will be one to remember.
