Wyclef Jean defended himself against allegations he misappropriated funds from his charity, Yele Haiti. Critics have alleged Wyclef used hundreds of thousands of dollars from the charity to pay for studio recording time, trips, hotels, and even a $100,000 appearance fee for himself to appear at a concert. Wyclef defended the foundation and his commitment to Haiti relief efforts.
"Let me be clear: I denounce any allegation that I have ever profited personally through my work with Yele Haiti," Jean said in a statement released Saturday. "These baseless attacks are simply not true."
Wyclef has been hard at work on the ground in Haiti assisting with rescues, medical attention, and recovery efforts.
