Haitian musician, record producer, and politician Nel Ust Wyclef Jean on Saturday March 19, 2011was in shot in Haiti as the country’s presidential elections commences today. This was confirmed by international News TV Network, AlJazeera.
The Fugees singer who traveled to his home land to support a presidential candidate, musician and entertainer Micheal Martelly, was shot in the arm late last night but was rushed to the hospital where he is currently being treated.
In 2010, Wyclef revealed his intentions to run for president in Haiti but was deemed ineligible and his candidacy was rejected by Haiti’s Electoral Council.
Former band mate Pras (who was strongly against Wyclef’s presidential aspirations but has since settled with the singer) took to his twitter account to calm the very worried fans of the singer, confirming that Wyclef had indeed been shot but was now in good condition.
‘Everyone can relax Wyclef is fine… They can’t stop us not one bullet or a machine gun!!!!!!!‘
‘Yes they shot Wyclef and he’s in the hospital and he’ll be fine. They just shot his hand ..‘
