Lauryn Hill still in denial about the fact that she's a psycho hose beast

You could read this NPR story about Lauryn Hill all the way through to the part where they ask her why she hasn't released a real album since 1998's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, or you could just read it up until the point, below, where it confirms that she's been ordering people to address her as "Ms. Hill," and then click close tab.

The reputation that surrounds Hill is wild — it's hard to know what to believe, because she does so few interviews. She's got handlers on top of handlers, publicists and managers who, you think, will lead you to her, and then they turn out to be red herrings. My editor and I chased them all down during the weekend of the Harmony Festival. I was told by various people to not touch her, don't look her in the eye; that instead of talking directly to you, she writes on a Post-It note and sticks it to your chest. I've also been told repeatedly not to call her "Lauryn" anything — she goes by Ms. Hill. This is the only rumor that turns out to be true, in my case.
