HAITI (GaeaTimes.com) — This is not the first time that a celebrity turns into a politician. This time it’s Musician Wyclef Jean to take on politics. Jean is all set to take part in the November elections. Reportedly, he will announce his candidacy for president of Haiti this Thursday on CNN’s ‘Larry King Live’.
In an interview with Time, Jean said,

“If I can’t take five years out to serve my country as President, then everything I’ve been singing about, like equal rights, doesn’t mean anything.”

Last week in Haiti he said he was taking the necessary legal steps toward running for president, including having his fingerprints taken by the judicial police. Though lastly he said he is not yet decisive about the future but, we can tell from his activities what he is upto.
Jean, 37, was born in Haiti but left soon after and was raised in Brooklyn, New York. A three-time Grammy award-winner, Jean was a founding member of the hip-hop trio ‘The Fugees’ and won wide fame for his collaboration with Colombian pop star Shakira. He released a song two years ago called “If I Was President”.
Well Jean, here is your chance, make your dream come true and show the people what you really can do.
