Rapper-turned-presidential candidate Wyclef Jean has fired back at Sean Penn after the actor criticized his decision to run as president of Haiti, insisting he has “sweat blood” for his native country.
The former Fugees star launched his official bid for office on Thursday, vowing to help turn around Haiti’s fortunes following the devastating earthquake which struck the nation in January.
Penn recently moved to Haiti so that he can live closer to his ongoing relief work in the region. But he was not impressed with the news of Jean’s political campaign, claiming the rapper has been absent in Haiti since the quake and raising concerns about allegations the star misused money donated to his Yele Haiti charity.
