Wyclef Jean Calls Sean Penn a Cocaine-User!

Sean Penn / Wyclef Jean

"This is somebody who's going to receive an enormous amount of support from the United States, and I have to say I'm very suspicious of it, simply because he, as an ambassador at large, has been virtually silent. For those of us in Haiti, he has been a non-presence", Sean Penn said on the 'Larry King Live' broadcast about Wyclef Jean's Haitian Presidential campaign.

In response, Wyclef said that Penn was "too busy sniffing cocaine" to notice his presence in Haiti after an earthquake devastated the nation in January.
Wyclef opened about the issue during a Hot 97 concert this weekend. He changed the lyrics to his 2004 hit 'President' singing: "I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine". Kids and their toys!
"Mr. Jean is clearly unfamiliar with the physical demands put upon volunteers in Haiti. As aid workers there, the notion of depleting the body's immune system thru the use of illicit drugs is ludicrous. More specifically, J/P Haitian Relief Organization (a.k.a. JPHRO) has a ZERO tolerance policy for any and all illegal drugs. As the leader of this organization, Sean Penn has not only set this policy, but adheres to it. That Mr. Jean would make such a false accusation is reckless and saddening, but not surprising", Sean Penn's representative said in a statement.
And Sean Penn wasn't the only one refusing to support Wyclef. "I love Wyclef to death. I was one of his best men along with his brother at his wedding. But I want to make this clear: I would rather lose Wyclef as a friend, brother, and save a nation of 10 million Haitians", Pras, one-third of The Fugees along with Wyclef and Lauryn Hill told Vulture.
So Wyclef got mad with this one too. "I got a message for Praswell: Even though you don't want to support me, I got love for you, even though you only kicked 8 bars in the Fugees", the singer said.
