Haitian hip hop star Wyclef Jean just got shot in Delmas Haiti. This news just came in from Haiti, armed gunmen opened fire at Wyclef’s car. Jean was in the car with Busta Rhymes, Jimmy Rosemond and other members of his entourage. No other passengers in the vehicle were injured.
Pras confirms on Twitter: Yes they shot Wyclef and he’s in the hospital and he’ll be fine. They just shot his hand.
Wyclef is in stable condition and is currently being treated in Haiti Hospital for his wound. Minutes before election day and this is going to be the highlight of tomorrow’s election.
It’s being said that Jimmy Rosemond is the same dude who was implicated in the Tupac Shakur shooting case? Hmmm soundy sketchy to me.
Shot in the hand? Mm
Guess this is what happens when you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

There are some serious issues happening in Haiti, and although he was not a great presidential candidate, he has done A LOT for the haitian people. The reason, because he gets out and works with the people. I hope this doesn’t stop hm for continuing his work.

A scare tactic to run wyclef out of haiti they prefer sean penn… sad…. the haitian ppl tend to show more respect to white helpers than the black ones they have alot of respect for white canadians esp. the french speaking ones Wyclef deserves their respect tho the man has done alot for those people. I seriously believe the land n ppl are in the hands of satan voodoo benefits are costly!!!

How many people think he was stupid enough to arrange that? Some say he is an attention whore that has no real identity and others think he is genuinely trying to be the best he can be but the media spoils his name.

Struck in the hand by a bullet at “around 11 p.m.”? Was that bullet really intended for his hand? Obviously, someone ain’t feelin’ da love, for him. It would be wise to surround himself with security.

I don’t doubt wyclef loves his country but most ppl love their countries and their culture but I feel like wyclef is phoney. He just makes it to obvious with his bullshit. Wasn’t his organization caught scamming money to help with the earthquake relief. He’s trying to do to much and this is the real world. Every single person has an agenda one way or another.
