Legend shared the story on The Tonight Show, where he disclosed he was paid only $500 for the opportunity. Despite the low payment, the experience became a highlight in his career. Legend and Hill later collaborated on a remix, showcasing their continued partnership. Hill’s album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill remains a timeless classic, recognized as one of the top albums by Rolling Stone.
