Wyclef Jean In Hiding Due To Death Threats Previous Click for More Post by NewsOne Staff in World on Aug 18, 2010 at 9:52 am Singer Wyclef Jean says he is in “hiding” after receiving death threats since announcing his plans to run for president of Haiti. Jean told The Associated Press he had received a series of warnings, including a phone call telling him to “get out of Haiti”. The singer’s plans have stirred controversy in the Caribbean country with his ex-bandmate Pras Michel and actor Sean Penn among those criticising his bid. Haiti’s electoral commission has also postponed its ruling on who will be allowed to run for president until 20 August. The commission have said they need more time to consider the applications of those who want to run. There is a question mark over whether Jean qualifies to run for president under Haitian laws which stipulate a candidate must have lived in the country for five consecutive years. Jean has not.
Wow, my mom wasn't kidding. Her story was the usa was threatening him. I'll have to look up more info. access to presidency: denied. Wyclef can't be president any more because he lacks the residency requirement. That' how it is in Haiti. No dual citizenship. nada
