Former Fugee member and Haitian advocate Wyclef Jean has been released from a Port-Au-Prince hospital after being shot.
Reports have emerged that gunmen attacked the former Haitian presidential candidate while driving. Apparently rapper Busta Rhymes was also in the vehicle.
Jean was shot in the hand and rushed to hospital but has already been released.
He was in Port-Au-Prince at a rally supporting presidential candidate Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly after his own candidacy was ruled ineligible.
His management tweeted from his account: “We have spoken to Wyclef, he is ok. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers — Management”
His former bandmate Pras tweeted: “Everyone can relax Wyclef is fine… They can’t stop us not one bullet or a machine gun!!!!!!!”
a king is never regarded in his own place so that wont shock me that they wana kill wyclef
I think the Haitian people has lost their way . Wyclef Jean has dedicated all his life to serve his people for him to be treated that way.U are one who over the years has assisted your people in getting aid .But in this world you cant please everyone .When you do good it follows you all the days of your life . Continue doing what you’ve been doing my brother.
PEACE MAN.
It is not fair to blame the entire haitian people for the callous act of one gunman. Everywhere there are people of this sort, who need to be condemned in thier individual capacity.
Can you believe this is totally insane. the man is trying to fix this country a true patriot and he gets shot who next. noboby trying to shot those wannabe dictators or hitlers in the making huh! its ironic.
you know haitians already.Always extra.And our PM fulling dominica with them, sick man.
I agree with you, it’s for his political gain, evil and greed
boss dno is waste of time tht story need to update!! apoligze so long nuh like always ahahahahaha
Admin: DNO is a waste of time, so why you coming on it and comment? Obviously you have time to waste. Read all major news outlet and the story on Wyclef Jean is the same and we sticking to the original story. Go ahead and Google it.
good word admin—- put him in his dam place.
Wyclef is a drama queen . Don’t blame DNO the US media is reporting he was shot. This man is as theatrical as it gets. Imagine the “props” he will get, Haitian hip-hop artist who is a humanitarian for his country, who tried to run for president, just coming home to vote for the best person and his own people shooting him. Wyclef knows he can’t account for the YELELE funds and he has been put on blast for travelling to Haiti grand standing infront of cameras, so what better way to get attention. Haitians are in a league of their own!
We need to learn from Japan. We need some discipline in our lives.
MOS, I have to agree with your analysis. Being cut by broken glass is not a cool story. It is almost like cutting your hand while making a sandwich. Jumping out of a car that just got hit by roadside bomb and Wyclef jumping out while bullets were flying past his head is way more dramatic.
I am surprised they did not say there were fighter aircraft shooting missiles at him. I am not blaming DNO for this one, but sometimes the news media like to jazz up a story to make it more interesting.
this is what wyclef said n i quote “The way I can explain it is that the bullet grazed me in my right hand,
I heard blow, blow, blow and I just looked at my hand”
vanel lacroix the police chief where mr jean is staying said “We met with the doctor who saw him and he confirmed Wyclef was cut by glass,”
we know being shot to live to tell about it is the holy grail for hiphop artists lol,,, so wyclef n his publicists going to try n push this to the max,,, media houses will post it as being shot,,, in brings in more traffic lol

wyclef was not shot or hit by bullets,,, but broken glass,,, the dr that treated him have confirmed this,,, whether or not he was the intended target is still unclear,,, again wyclef was hit by broken glass and not shot directly by bullet wound
No wonder DNO is always apologizing for reporting the wrong news pieces…if Wyclef was not shot where did DNO get that? Umm i wonder…May be they like tory just like dominicans and spread bad news….DNO get your facts straight before u report….stupesssssssssssssss….”thanks mouth of the south”
Admin: The majority of our counterpart news agencies have reported that he was grazed by a bullet. We go with what they report. The source of our report is at the top of the story. We didn’t publish it until we had verified the info with a number of other news agencies.
first time admin didnt sa le somebody!
for ur info all yesterday CNN was reporting that he was shoet. I first heard about this on CNN. Give DNO a break.
Maybe admin should be out there getting the story yourself instead of reading it on facebook, youtube and hearing it on the streets of roseau from those paros…..admin sound like they pounding tory with people on the street and writing what they say…LMFAO
MOUTH OF THE SOUTH LOOKS LIKE YOU AN EXPERT ON EVERYTHING THAT’S BEING HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE GOD THE CREATOR. I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE A TIME OUT SOMETIME.

Nice one. mouth of the south.
Why is it that the people who try to do good are always ambushed or die young. Our Prayers are with him. I’m sure there will be more attacts by the thugs who try to get him but God knows and sees all and knows what’s best. Let’s pray for them.
Someone please call 911. Wyclef in trouble cos he’s in trouble!
Let me try and help you…lol:
Someone please call 911…Wyclef has been shot down and the bullet’s in his hand and its piecing through his soul cause he only wanted to help his people.
The alleged asailant is five foot one,
And she shot me through my soul.
