Wyclef wants to be president of Haiti. The “Gone To November” hitmaker currently regarded as the front-runner in the country’s election, set for Nov. 28. However, the bid hasn’t come without a bit of scrutiny. ‘Clef’s childhood friend and former Fugees bandmate Pras Michael — also a Haitian-American — has been on the frontlines of blasting Jean’s run for The National Palace since he announced his candidacy Thursday.
Haiti-born, Brooklyn-raised former Fugee Pras is joining his cousin and former bandmate Wyclef Jean in spearheading relief efforts on the impoverished Caribbean island after the horrific earthquake that made landfall on Tuesday.
Pras’ business was strewn all up and through Front Street when a New York City recording studio boss called 7 On Your Side to collect a $19,000 debt owed to him by the Fugees founding member.
