Wyclef Jean Hospitalized; Releases Statement

Wyclef Jean has been hospitalized.

UPDATE:

“I’m doing fine, just over worked. I Thank every one for their outreach and prayers,” Wyclef Jean told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement.

A representative for Wyclef Jean said that the rapper suffered from stress due to lack of sleep, from a hectic travel schedule.

“Wyclef is currently suffering the effects of lack of sleep and stress, global travel, even the endless public eye, and has asked that his fans and supporters bear with him for the next several days as he regains his physical health and stamina,” a rep said in a statement.

Sources tell AFaceAFace.org, a movement for Haitian youth and activists, that Jean was hospitalized for stress and fatigue. The organization posted the information on Twitter, and it was reposted on Wyclef’s official Twitter account.

Wyclef announced last week that he was abandoning his campaign to become president of Haiti.
