Wyclef's Most Controversial Moments
Remember when Wyclef Jean actually made music? In recent years, it seems the only thing he's been making is headlines. 'Clef's new biography, Purpose, dropped today, Sept. 18, and it contains quite a few a bombshells. In the book, Jean claims that former Fugees bandmate Lauryn Hill tricked him into believing her first-born son, Zion, was actually his son instead of Rohan Marley's and that the lie led to the band's 1997 breakup. “In that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn’t forgive that,” he wrote. “She could no longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken.” But this isn't the first time Wyclef has been the center of some serious controversy. Read on for a look at the rapper-producer's many dramas over the years. —Alex Gale
