Wyclef Jean Slams Sean Penn as Cocaine-User

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 7th 2010 08:17AM

Wyclef Jean Slams Sean Penn as Cocaine-User Wyclef Jean responded to Sean Penn's public doubts of his Haitian presidential campaign at a concert over the weekend, alleging Penn was "too busy sniffing cocaine" to notice Jean's presence in Haiti after an earthquake devastated the nation in January.

The colossal jab came at a Hot 97 concert this weekend, where Wyclef 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."

See the video -- and hear what Wyclef had to say about former Fugees bandmate Pras, who also publicly smeared 'Clef's now-defunct presidential campaign -- after the jump.

The night Wyclef announced his candidacy for Haiti's president, Sean Penn expressed serious concern. "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," Penn said on the same 'Larry King Live' broadcast that featured Wyclef's announcement.

Pras, one-third of The Fugees along with Wyclef and Lauryn Hill, came out swinging shortly after. "I love Wyclef to death. I was one of his best men along with his brother at his wedding," he told Vulture. "But I want to make this clear: I would rather lose Wyclef as a friend, brother, and save a nation of 10 million Haitians."

So Wyclef tacked a jab at Pras directly onto his new Sean Penn lyric this weekend: "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."

Sean Penn's rep quickly wrote a vehement denial of cocaine use, telling JustJared:

"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."

Jean was disqualified from the presidential running when he did not meet Haitian residency requirements.

Just goes to show that Wyclef doesn't have the emotional maturity to be a leader.

By Carla Thomas Sullivan

@ Keleas, I agree with you.......if he is going to thrust himself into the political arena he is going to have to prepare himself for those who do not agree with him.....and there will be many, and publicly retaliating against everyone that does not agree with you shows that he doesn't have the maturity level, mental capacity, or social savy or political advisors to know that, that is just not done. I think Jean is a wonderfully talented performer and the people of Haiti should be proud of him, but I think he could better serve his people by using his money and influence as he says he has been already in helping to rebuild, leave the politics to someone that's "qualified" in every way

Exactly very childish. If you didn't know before well now you know

Sean Penn, who used to fancy himself as a really bad boy, has only changed his operation to try and make people think he has changed. He was a left-wing, dope-smoking wannabe and is only different now on the surface. He is still a big, ugly, ignorant zero.

"Ladies and gentleman,the results of the Juvenile Name-Calling For Haiti Campaign are in! Drumroll please....Sean Penn:2,Wyclef Jean:0! Stay tuned for next week's episode and thanks for caring at all!"

Who you trying to BS, Penn.

You been using for 20 years at least, now, and you're not fooling anybody. My 7 year old daughter broke out in a big belly laugh when I read this to my wife. Even a 7 yo kid can see it.

PHUCK Sean Penn. HE IS AN ECCENTRIC, ARROGANT, COKE SNIFFING F A G G O T!

By dara

kind of a damning statement from Penns people, why wouldn't they just say it was a lie and he doesnt do coke instead of some dumb line about it draining his energy for vollunteer work?

By anon

So now Wycliffe sounds like he's throwing sand in the playground. And MOST of Hollywood is doing Cocaine and other drugs including some minivan majority idolized mothers. No big revelation there Wycliffe.
