: MediaTakeOut.com is hearing some VERY SAD news. You know that yesterday there was a special Haiti telethon, hosted by Wyclef and George Clooney. Well we spoke to a couple of people on set who asked, why weren't there any OTHER prominent Haitian artists at the event, like Pras from the Fugees.

And according to one MTV staffer, the reason is Wyclef. The staffer told MediaTakeOut.com, "Wyclef said he didn't want Pras, or any other prominent Haitian artist involved, or he would walk."

We were trying to ride for Wyclef during this, bu he's looking MORE AND MORE grimy as the days on. . .

NEXT----->>>>>NEXT----->>>>>NEXT----->>>>>NEXT----->>>>>NEXT----->>>>>NEXT----->>>>>NEXT----->>>>>


nobodyshineslikeme

People please do not believe everything you read. MTO says these things to just to get negative comments.


MTOguy

I would probably do the same thing, If I knew millions of people were going to be watching.. I bet he is going to have a platnium album, lol


nobodyshineslikeme

It's bead when the rest of the world looks down on us and try everthing they can to stunt our growth, but when we do it to ourselves, it's a d.a.m.*** shame!!



MsDrizzyBabii

Please say it ain't so!! Wyclef!!


nunya_bizness

I'm not surprised. Haven't been a fan after the first CD. I was disappointed when he started hyping the Red Cross.

Now ya'll know why Lauryn cut him off!


HomeeSmasher

of course he is using it to his advantage as a celebrity, but that is just the human ego.


TheHersheyDiva

HMM...


moneyhungry

Fcuk off MTO

Fcuk that telethon and everybody else that's capitalizing off of other people's misery

There is too much red tape and focus on the WRONG *** while CHILDREN are starving, injured & DYING

So in essence, FCUK a celebrity and their feelings right now...all of them


MsLady561

Now THAT is messy. He needs his behind whipped.


angelaheiressnyc

I find this hard to believe but then again..you never know with these artists..But why would he feel such way if he has been doing for his country & ppl way before this catastrophe? If anything him joining other fellow celeb Haitian counterparts would've been for a humanitarian cause


angelaheiressnyc

weren't the fugees supposed to unite for this cause?


BEANAX

EFF THE PROPAGANDA...DONATE TO HAITI YA'LL..


Divaonadime

OOH *** UP FRED!! YOU STUPID ***...WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU DOING FOR HAITI..

ASIDE FROM MAKING MONEY OFF HITS!!

YOU'RE A DESPICABLE CREATURE THAT SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO BE BLACK....

FCUKING PARASITE!!!


01_fan

Sounds personal, set aside personal issues and focus on what really matters. PEACE & UNITY


Atlgagul

Ummm, Ummm, UmmMMMP!


Darth_Billybob

I dont trust his YELE FOUNDATION

I dont trust the RED CROSS

I dont trust CLINTON/BUSH

I dont trust white people

I dont trust Obama..

I dont trust UNICEF

I dont trust the United Nations

I trust the smaller relief agencies who have a positive track record and are already on the ground like Doctors Without Borders, smaller church charities and orphanages, "Direct Relief" and a couple others.

Wyclef Jean is tied into the Beast...He's already sold his soul.


TheBrokenSilence

I believe it Wyclef is a ***. That ***!gga went Haiti showed his face and left yeah he cares alright. His foundation doesn't even have staff so how's the money reaching Haiti? And why does he need to be on Oprah *** all these shows? We know what's happening there. He just wants attention.


djchainsaw

wyclef is from B R O O *** L Y ***! griminess is a requirement!



Darth_Billybob

This is the only organization that I have donated to and as of now will be the only organization I will donate to. They are actually on the ground in Haiti and doing it for real and they are volunteers 12 months a year:

www.bsvac.org


nubian24

@darth COSIGN, AMEN! That's why I have not donated one cent. If I don't know where it's going then I can't line somebody's pocket. I def don't trust Red Cross or any American organization. Cuba has been doing work there for years. I would trust their organization or any other foreign based. Organization before anyone else's. Sorry but for all I know these fundraisers could be sending more $ to Iraq so that we can stay longer smh.


DramaDiva

@DJCHAINSAW: WYCLEF IS NOT FROM BROOKLYN!!!! HE IS A BANANA BOAT RIDER. HE CAME TO NY WITHOUT SPEAKING A LICK OF ENGLISH. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. HE DON'T REP BROOKLYN NICCA HE REPS HAITI TO DEATH, LIKE SOMEBODY GIVES A ***!!!!

@INEGATIVENANCY: THAT *** DIVAONADIME IS WYCLEF OR HIS ***. DON'T BE TALKING ABOUT FRED LIKE THAT YOU PUNK ROCK ***!!!!! DON'T YOU HAVE SOME RELIEF MONEY TO BE STEALING TO BUY ANOTHER CAR YOU UGLY ***!!!!!!


msINtense

If Wyclef truly did act like that,he was selfish


DisdainHate66

This guy is on the U.S. Government payroll.He helped orchestrated the ouster Of former President Aristide in the mid 2000's..His cousin is actually the President now.The Earthquake was man made and was caused by the U.S. Government "HAARP" program in Alaska. Weather manipulation ppl,do ur research.It caused Hurricane Katrina & the tsunami.They attacked easy targets that can never be rebuilt..


Darth_Billybob

President Aristede was taking France before the World Court to demand reparations for what they did to Haiti and the Haitian people.

The next thing you know, President Aristede finds him self being kidnapped by the 82 Airborne and the CIA, hogtied and stuffed into a US Military Cargo plane and dropped off in South Africa and told if he tried to come back to Haiti they wont be so nice next time.

This man was the President of a soverign Nation!

btw: Wyclef is really cousin of the President? Do you have a link with some further info?


atl69girl

Emeline Michel a famous, VERY GORGEOUS and SOPHISTICATED Haitian born singer performed! She was my fave female singer on the telethon with her rich, deep, soulful voice.

Maybe, Wyclef wanna be Prez of Haiti someday?.


CherryBoo

oh really?


good_downsouth

*** shame if this is true...besides, Clef is the last person I'm considering when giving to this cause. Much bigger than him!


goldengirlaka3

Sorry MTO, can't blame this on him. This was George Clooneys event and he was invited like every one else, and the fugees arent a house hold name like Beyonce, Bono, Taylor swift, and madonna. Yele and 5 other groups benefit from this event. But Wycleff dont have the pull to put this on almost every network. This was beyond BET. Last ***. And wycleff is just a face for Haiti at the moment, because right now he is the most famous Haitian that people reconize. I dont think he needs to boost his image.


1Curleygirl

All Celebrities,rich folks, Walmarts/Kmarts etc...if ya got it give it up! $$$ *** be a problem at all...where it's actually gonna go is the REAL concern! and I'm tired of hearing "aawwh those poor children/babies"... The the tragic suffering and/or loss of ALL LIVES is TRAGIC!!! Every man woman child baby need each other and it's terrible to think and hear "people" say "OH those poor babies..." "POOR" EVERYBODY who has to suffer "Dangnabbit"! "FEEL" 4 ALL! Pain Hurts EVERYBODY


YoungYacht

We dont know this for sure.


nubian24

Wow, all this bad press. I don't know about wyclef these days.


GeorgiaPeachATL

I'm amazed at the turn out. When Katrina hit I don't remember all this support. I say clean up uor front yard then clean up the back. I'm not donating a cent! Keeping it real. Its an island in SHAMBLE. They clearly can't stay there too much longer. So what is all the $ for? To rebuild? To TEMPORARILY feed and clothe these folks? Ok we cand give forever! I could see if it was for relocating them and setting up new lives...


faundyb

THAT'S *** ***!! IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT COUNTRY YOU WERE BORN IN IF AN ENTERTAINER WANTED TO PARTICIPATE AND THEY HAD GOOD INTENTIONS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEM HOW FICKING SELFISH!!


TENSE81

@ Georgia Peach.. I understand the whole "take care of home" theme. But, how can 1 turn a blind eye to the devastation these ppl have endured... It's your right not to donate towards Haiti.. I don't understand how 1 could say this out of spite? Because they did not DO for Katrina? Come on.. Did u donate towards Katrina???


minnee09

Dang thats messed up...


AshyLarry22

Wycelf is a WHACK *** BUM.. Anyone can see he is using this moment to get shine as if he is the only HAITI with money that's trying too help. His organization is a scam and I hope the IRS bust his lame ***. He claims too have so many millions but his *** is on TV asking us for money. If he loves his country so much. Why won't he WRITE A FAT CHECK?


AshyLarry22

And why didnt they have all of these EFF'*** concerts to raise money for Katrina?


theHustleFam

if true, thats messed up Clef...watch funny skits from the DMVs own Hustle Fam at www.thehustlefam.blogspot.com watch funny skits from the DMVs own Hustle Fam at www.thehustlefam.blogspot.com watch funny skits from the DMVs own Hustle Fam at www.thehustlefam.blogspot.com


QueenBee7578

That is some real selfish ***...Wyclef wants to look like the hero of it all...Just because he was down there hands on doesn't mean his intentions were good...People do things more for self and not for the cause


CunningANDStunning

@ GeorgiaPeachATL & AshyLarry22, I agree. I don't remember any relief/aid/charity/telethon of this magnitude to help those Katrina victims..which is sad because they are residents of the USA. I remember our aid, contribution, taking @ least 4 days for any of the Louisiana residents to see any relief from those conditions. I donated my lil $5 to Haiti..but I can't say I was jumpin up & down to do it..


buckethead

Why the hate on Wyclef.He was there before anyone to help Haiti before all this happen.Where were the so call Hatians then.


MYMINDISNAAASTY

HE FROM HAITI AND HE TRYNA HELP HIS PEOPLE

WTF IS WRONG.....


UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

I donated. We are going to need somebody to donate to America if they dont get our economic ish together.


Constancebenzua

YEA RIGHT I DOUBT HE SAID THAT

>>> Follow Me on Twitter @constancebenzua <<<<


TheRose

Please tell me he didn't do that.

If he did then he had insincere motives.


massappeal

Wyclef is a house ***!gger


bklynkey718

I don't believe this Shi.t why they Hating on Wyclef????



givepeaceachance

LIES. IF YOU FOLLOW PRAS ON TWIITER THEN YOU KNOW THIS IS A LIE. PRAS IS SUPPORTING WYCLEF. HE IS ON HIS WAY TO SUNDANCE FOR A FILM HE IS IN. SMDH AT THE READER/COMMENTS. MOSTLY HATEFUL. NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR SUCH BEHAVIOR. AND BEWARED, WHO DO YOU THINK IS COMING AFTER CLEF, THOSE WHO STAND THE MOST TO LOSE BY HIS POPULARITY AND ABILITY TO RAISE SO MUCH MONEY. BE WISE AS SERPENTS AND HUMBLE AS DOVES.


silky1700

Lies...Send some *** money to New Orleans they died too.


ILLtakeher4ugayz

If this is true: I'm not surprised look @ how he did L-boogie


PrettyMami4k

Ey! Wyclef is just tryna get in were he could fit in! I've been done wit him ever since he was mean to Dylan on Making The Band!! " u can either make the song or u can NOT make the song! " he's always been f'ckd up to ppl! That's why his dreds fell out! Bwahahaha! Loll!


IM_CHOCOLATE

Thank u silky1700


BrooklynLatina

MTO and it lies.

I get it u guys are a gossip rag and thrive on rumors, but to constantly try to lie on Wyclef especially NOW when you should be focusing on positive things is sickening. It's like you *** (typo but it stays) have some envy for him. I can easily email you a "tip" and say I'm an inside source and you guys would just report it w/o researching. U want to be taken seriously by the media but ur journalistic skills are a joke.

Pras supports Clef.


BrooklynLatina

goldengirlaka3 Sorry MTO, can't blame this on him. This was George Clooneys event and he was invited like every one else, and the fugees arent a house hold name like Beyonce, Bono, Taylor swift, and madonna. Yele and 5 other groups benefit from this event. But Wycleff dont have the pull to put this on almost every network. This was beyond BET. Last ***.

msak2

Did anyone notice Rihanna's ho dress and Jay Z was watchin here all the time while they were performing and Jay Z was NOT wearing his wedding ring. Any lady who performed dressed respectfully except for Rihanna. I truly believe Jay Z is messing with Rihanna..


Zoe2133

MTO YALL REALLY NEED TO STOP ABVOUSLY YALL DIDNT WATCH THE SHOW YOURSELVES OR ELSE YALL WOULD HAVE SEEN THERE WAS ANOTHER HATIAN ARTIST WHO PERFORMED AND THAT GARCELLE BEAVIUS WAS THERE AND WCLEF WAS ONLY SEEN ON CAMERA LIKE THREE TIME THROUGH THE WHOLE SHOW IF HE WANTED THE ATTENSION PUT ON HIMSELF Y WOULD HE HAVE THE BIGGESAT ARTISTS IN THE WORLD PERFORMING AND LET ME REMIND U THAT GEORGE CLOONEY PUT THE SHOW TOGETHER AND PICK THE ARTISTS, YALL REALLY NEED TO STOP AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BREAK THIS MAN DOWN YALL SHOULD BE TRYING TO HELP BECAUSE WYLEF BEEN TRYING TO GET HATI HELP FORYEARS


Zoe2133

ALSO WYCLEF STARED THE YELE FOUNDATION YEARS AGO SO YOUR TELLING ME THAT HE WAS STEALING MONEY ALL THIS TIME AND THAT HE BROUGHT ANGELINA JOILIE THERE FOR NO REASON I HOPE YALL NO BY SPREADING THESE LIES YOUR SLOWING DOWN THE AID FOR HATI AND IF ANY BODY ACTUALLY BELIVE THAT WYCLEF WOULD DO THIS IS SAD


MsRita

SINCE THE IRS IS INVESTIGATING HIS CHARITY FRAUD. HE WANTED THE CONCERT FUNDS TO GO TO HIS CHARITY YELE; HOWEVER HE COULD ONLY PUT ON THIS CONCERT IF HE WOULD DONATE TO MONEY TO THE SAME CHARITY THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD WAS DONATING... HOPE FOR HAITI”

EVERYONE WANT S MAKE SURE THAT BE PEOPLE WILL BE HELPED AND NOT PUTTING ANY MORE MONEY FOR HIM AND HIS BUDDIED POCETS.

MOST CHARITEIES FILE TAXES EVERY YEAR. YELE WAS RECEIVING FUNDS 3 YEARS AND ONLY FILED TAXES IN 2009.

THE RETURNS HOWEVER JUST DID NOT ADD UP AND SOME THINGS WERE SUSPECT. HIGH SALARIES FOR HIS EMPLOYEES. TRAVEL FOR HIS POSSIE TO GO WITH HIM, HOTEL AND FOOD.

THAT’S NOT HOW A CHARITY WORKS. MAYBE HE IS STUPID OR HE IS JUST A FRAUD.

WE WILL FIND OUT IF HIS CHARITY WILL BE *** DOWN AND ACCOUNT WILL BE FROZEN BY THE IRS.

HE COLLECTED 1.9 MILLION THE NEXT DAY FROM TEXT MESSAGE AND SAID THE FUNDS WONT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL PEOPLE PAY THEIR CELL PHONE BILL.

CELL PHONE COMPANIE SAID THE WILL RELEASE THE FUNDS IMMEDIATELY SO THE MONEY CAN BE USED IMMEMDIATEY.

SO SEEMS LIKE HE IS A FRAUDE TO ME PERSONLLY.


D8vyBo1Dr3

i knew this guy was a fraud! I never liked this dude for some reason


HollyJ

I hope this is just speculation. This is a time for unity and every voice should be allowed in support of this historical tragedy. smh


MsRita

HE IS GUITY OF CHEATING WIHT HIS CHARITY. I'M BLACK AND THE *** STUPID *** COMMENTS LIKE SOME HOW EVERYONE IS PICKING ON HIM.

LIKE I SAID HE WILL NOT SEND THE MONEY 1.9 MIL THAT HE RECEVED FORM THE TEXT UNTIL THE PEOPLE PAY THEIR CELL PHONE BILLS. THE NEXT DAY- T-MOBIL. AT&T VERSION ALL SAID THE MOENY WILL GO TO HELP HAIT I IMMEDIATELY.

SO HE HAS 1.9 MILLION IS HIS DANM POCKET.

OPEN YOUR EYES. YOU HAVE TO BE BLIND TO BELIEVE HIS IS NOT LIGIT.

BUY HE WON’T SEE ANY OF IT BECAUSE THE IRS IS GOING TO FREEZE HIS ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. THE ARE WORKING WITH THE CELL PHONE COMPANIES AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET THIS MOTHER *** GET AWAY WITH STEELING THIS MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE HE PRETENDING HE WANT TO HELP.


Girlsluvgems

Why would anybody at MTV be talking to anyone at this raggedy website!?!!!??!?!!?



BlackButtafly

The first time yall put up that article of Wyclef pocketing money I ignored it cause I knew it wasn't true. Now yall still trying to put *** out there to make this man's mission look bad. I saw Pras taking calls at a telethon a day or two before. Pras is doing his part and I don't think he is crying about camera time. There was also a Haitian female singer who must be a legend in the country on stage last ***. Cut the negative ***!


neeceecole

@dreamdiva, you R TRULY LOST!


neeceecole

@ms rita, you make me ashamed to be black!


neeceecole

@darth_billybob, i agree. his is also the only mainstream we donated to. i also agree about the beast!


mzlisa

HE IS NOT...THIS MAN IS TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR HIS PPL...*** THE HELL UP MTO


BetterThanThat

MTO *** up! WHY CAN'T YOU ATTEMPT TO BE REPUTABLE LIKE [SPAM].COM.

SHOW SOME TYPE OF CLASS, ONCE IN AWHILE. This is not the topic nor the time. I don't know what your problem is with Wyclef but do you realize everytime you've done a story on him for the past 1.5 weeks it's been negative. You're actually deterring people that visit this website from assisting Haiti by sending a donation.


BetterThanThat

theyoungblackandbeau tiful


sojo

Wyclef gave 300 thousand to his "People" after he paid his expenses. I not saying the guy his shady but you do the math.


Coffeecolor

Sorry but I didn't fall for his crocodile tears!...It is a known fact that the numbers are not adding up with his foundation...Funds were/are missing,why?...A few dollars here and there but a whole 2%?...when you're talking millions,that's alot of pocket change!...he doesn't know becoz he only lent his name for the coz!..If you're so passionate how is it that you have time to BAR your former band mates from performing?...You're just Selfish!..Grown people act accordingly!


Autumn

*** him it's about Haiti and I don't give a *** who peformed. We gonna be there for them regaurdless. Wyclef can go to hell for all I care.


Autumn

I don't have ill feelings towards him I'm just saying it's bigger than him. Focus on the real issue at hand.


LVHUNNIE

Just keep a positive note ..keep donating and pray for the Haitians..there is a bigger picture here folks!


BetterThanThat

Correction: theyoung,black and fab


Justforfun

One thing is for sure Clef love his people and he will help them, aaaaaannnnnddd, if he should get a little something on the way for doing so, so what God knows they need a voice.


jevoistu

I don't blame him for trying to block other Haitian artists; their music are pretty long song. I never cared about Wyclef but I know that he really loves his people.



luscious_denise

I hate to say, but I felt this way about Wyclef for a long time. If you didn't know, now you know. I hate to say I did not give because of the report that he later confirmed, but I did give to the Red Cross as Michelle Obama suggest.


albow71

Yeah, I'm starting to believe that this guy is using this disaster for self-promotion. At a time like this he's allowing his anger & arrogance to overshadow the need for help for Haiti from wherever it comes from. I hope Pras puts him on blast for this.


MsAntilles

U SILLY PPL AGREE W/ EVRYTHNG DIS LAME SITE HAS 2 POST. DON'T YA'LL HAVE A MIND OF YA'LL OWN? SO USE IT. B/F YA'LL AGREE W/ EVERY *** ON HERE JUST CAUSE IT MAKE SENSE, HOW 'BOUT YA'LL DO A THOROUGH RESEARCH 1ST. 1ST OF ALL, WYCLEF WAS NOT DA ONLY HAITIAN @ DA TELETHON. THERE WERE OTHERS 4 INSTANCE EMELINE MICHEL, A RENOWNED HAITIAN ARTIST IN DA HAITIAN COMMUNITY SANG, SHE JUST DIDN'T SING IN CREOLE/FRENCH. SOME MADE THEIR SPEECH & OTHERS TOOK CALLS. IT'S AMAZING 2 ME HOW EVERY1 & DEY MAMA'S FINALLY ADMITING 2 BEING FULL/HALF HAITIAN. SO DN'T HATE ON DA MAN IF HE WAS NEVA A SELL OUT.


YohiNesZDaKween

I never liked Wyclef he has had an attention problem every since Lauryn Hill left and made a name for herself... he will do alot for attention I have watched his reactions and I totally agree that he is using the hardship in Haiti for attention he just bootsy like that


twanali

AND WHAT ABOUT LAUREN??? THE FUGEES SHOULDA REPRESENTED...DOES SOUND KINDA FISHY???
