Wyclef Jean was grazed by a bullet in his native Haiti around 11p.m. local time Saturday as he and his entourage, including rapper Busta Rhymes, rode through the nation’s capital of Port-au-Prince.
Wyclef was treated for the gunshot wound at a local hospital and released a couple of hours later. A rep for the hip hop star/political activist said, “He’s fine now.” No one else was injured.
This comes on the eve of the nation’s presidential runoff. Wyclef, who announced his bid in August, dropped out later that month following Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council’s rejection of his bid. He was in Haiti to show his support for Michel Martelly as he takes on former First Lady Mirlande Manigat. The results of the runoff are expected April 16.
Pras took to Twitter to update fans on the situation:
Hahahaha, Pras is hella ghetto…
Thank God he’s okay!!!
Pras is funny as hell. Lets see if one bullet elsewhere would stop someone. lol
Anyway, glad Wyclef is doing good.

As a Haitian i’m ashamed of all this mess going on in Haiti. After all Wyclef have done for our country and this is the thank you he got in return I don’t care if the president got shot but wyclef being shot at is just terrible. I don’t know when Haitians leaving in Haiti are going to wake up and smell the coffee. I’m pretty sure the person who shot him was given a little money to pull it off. This is just ashame, I’m disappointed.
LOL they say never bite the hand that feeds you. In this case don’t shoot them either. Im surprised that after all Wyclef has done for his country, some still hate him and would even go as far as doing this to him. smh
LMAO!!! Sorry but that’s kinda funny.
this nigger needs to sit down and leave politics the HELL alone. Let politicians do the politics.
who cares!
I’m sorry but I find you comment to be very ignorant!
Thank God he’s alright. Definitely one of the best producers/musicians of our time!

So Hatians must resent his rich ass. He aint as loved as he thought he was.
Never was a fan of him or his music . Glad to see he is still alive don’t wish death on anybody but i wouldn’t be crying if it happened. this just goes to show you if your own people dont want your help just keep it moving.
Do yall think this was a publicity stunt gone wrong? Why the hand? Either way glad he’s alright
They are saying on other blogs that he wasn’t shot — that his hand was cut by some glass — if this was a stunt , shame on him ! you should never play like that.
looks like Mirlande Manigat aint playin. that was a warning shot. to be a leader.. you must have adequate protection.
Wyclef is a young buck in the game.. im sure he knows there is much more behind the scenes then is apparent.. if he didn’t he does now. how you gon fuc wit da beast and not get scarred? how Big say it.. if ya don’t know now ya know.
Wow, I would hate to see what would happen if Wyclef ran for president of Haiti….Damn he got shot just for voting?!?!
