Looks like the someone remains bitter over not being able to run for president of Haiti (a ruling made primarily because Wyclef Jean lives in the US not Haiti). While Wyclef initially said he would stand by the decision, he then announced that he would appeal.
In an interview with Larry King last month, Sean said he didn’t know much about Wyclef Jean saying “I haven’t seen or heard anything of him in these last six months that I’ve been in Haiti.” going on to say that he wondered if the singer’s idea of being president was “a vision of flying around the world, talking to people”.
This past Friday at a concert in New York, Wyclef fired back, changing lyrics to his song “I want to be President” (subtle) to include “I got a message for Sean Penn/ Maybe he ain’t see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine.”
Sean responded in a statement through his spokesminion, saying “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.”
It really says it all when Sean Penn is the voice of reason and logic between two people, doesn’t it?
