Wyclef Hits Back At Sean Penn & Pras
Killing Them Softly With His Song….The former Fugee’s run for the Haitian presidency disappeared in a puff of smoke last month, and Grammy-winning musician Wyclef Jean still hasn’t forgiven the naysayers (We’re looking at you Pras and Sean Penn…) who turned his first political campaign on its ear.
The Haitian-American musician, 40, was still bitter about his derailed bid for Haiti’s highest office at Hot 97’s “On Da Reggae Tip” Concert and shot back at a couple of his vocal critics: actor/humanitarian Sean Penn, and former bandmate Pras Michael — who is also Haitian-American.
Pras and Penn, who have been volunteering in Haiti since a devastating earthquake struck the already impoverished island nation last January, spoke against Wyclef’s bid to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last month. Both men questioned Jean’s political motives, while Penn has consistently jabbed at the hip-hop star’s misappropriated $400,000 Yele charity funds and questioned his dedication to Haiti’s recovery.
While strumming sweetly on his guitar, Wyclef sang not-so-sweet verses to actor Sean Penn and former Fugee bandmate Pras during the reggae concert at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom last Thursday night.
“I got a message for Sean Penn, maybe he ain’t see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine,” Wycelf inserted into they lyrics of his song, ‘If I Was President.” “I got a message for Praswell, even though you don’t want to support me, I got love for you, even though you don’t want to support me, I got love for you, even though you only kicked eight bars for the Fugees,” he chanted.
Sheesh…Glad to hear you aren’t bitter, Wyclef!
