Wyclef Addresses Lauryn Hill's Situation

Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill both rose to fame as members of the Fugees in the late 1990s. But romantic squabbles and creative differences soured their relationship and ended the group. Nonetheless, Clef spoke to “Rap Fix” about Hill’s recent tax issues and the announcement that she has signed a new record deal. “I wish her the best, I think she’s going to have a great album,” Wyclef said. “You’re going to have ups and downs and in the industry.”

“What I learned in the industry is just make sure that you surround yourself with the best people. Not people that’s just gonna tell you what you want to hear, but people that’s going to tell you the truth,” he said. “You develop a God complex. Trust me when I tell you that.”

Wyclef Jean Disagrees With Lil Wayne's "New 'Pac" Statement

A number of weeks ago, Lil Wayne made headlines (and turned heads) when he proclaimed himself the “new [Tupac].” Among those that disagree is Wyclef Jean. ”Once again, that’s his opinion,” opined Wyclef against Lil Wayne’s bold assertion in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45. “At the end of the day, that’s his opinion. He can feel that. Personally, I had a chance to be in a room with Tupac and he’s a character by himself.” ”[Do I see a resemblance?] No, no, no,” continued Clef, before carefully couching, ” I see Lil Wayne in a league by himself. I see Tupac in a league by himself.” Wyclef then drew a comparison between his Fugees and Tupac, despite the fact that the two had beef. “Tupac reminded me a little bit of the Fugees in this sense, if you pick up the Fugees’ first album, after we got that check from the record company, the album was called Blunted On Reality, the first song on the album, we was talking about, ‘We black folks ain’t taking this shit from the Ku Klux Klan no more.’ It’s a young generation and fuck the KKK. Before you blow up, the fact you don’t know if you’re going to make it and your first statement is just based on the vibe.” Listen to the interview below:
