*Wyclef Jean confirmed his relationship with Lauryn Hill during a visit to Power 92 Chicago's the Chocolate Jock Morning Jump-off show. According to co-host Kendra G, Wyclef said he believes the eccentric behavior of his former Fugees bandmate is due to a bi-polar condition, and not drug use as rumors have suggested. Clef also claimed Hill's Grammy-winning album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" was dedicated to him. As a response, Wyclef said he recorded the track "Someone Please Call 911" with Mary J. Blige. Wyclef stated, "So I would say that after our relationship she went through whatever she had to go through but this is like 14years later…she gotta get it straight!"

He was actually on Hot 97 in New York this morning talking the same shit. enough is enough this man doesn't have a medical degree to diagnose anyone. Its really a defamation to lauryn's character. And he need to except that the fugees is not getting back together and Lauryn was the STAR of the group and without her the fugees is done. He's so bitter and to get on national radio and to defame lauryn's character is really unacceptable. I'm sure Lauryn is so far above this but if i was her i would sue his ass ! This is really unacceptable i'm saddened by this. I really thought Wyclef was above this and it turns out he's just as greedy as the corporation thats trying to make her look crazy to the world because she doesn't conform to they're commercialism. Pras and Wyclef are puppets and they don't even know it. Much respect Lauryn !

Seems like Why?Clef will do anything to promote his new album---even slander someone he is close to. Calling someone bi-polar without proof is basically trashing their name. I'll wait and see what Ms. Hill has to say about this.

Yeah, but I don't really think Lauryn Hill will reply to this. It's even more frustrating for Wylcef and Pras that Ms Hill doesn't say anything to this bashing, besides something like "I don't have the answer". When it comes to this bi-polar thing, I don't know if it is true, but this behaivor was reported by several people. Also people who are not necessarily bitter like Wylcef. There is no way all of them are making this up. Lauryn Hill has been called crazy alot through the years. Bi-polar is just another word. I doubt Lauryn will pay to much attention right now to this.

Lauryn just completed a succesful European tour and even granted an interview to let us know where she's at musically performed a free concert in Brooklyn and has decided to go back in the studio to complete an album. And for him to say to millions of listeners that she has a mental illness thats really uncool especially when there is no proof of this. She's a mother of four beautiful childtren and about to have her 5th and these type of accusations can cause child welfare to start an investagation and cause problems for Lauryn. This needs to stop Wyclef and Pras need to chill and except that there will be no more fugees money its over move on.

I totally agree with you happynappy01. I think when the record company announced that Lauryn would be releasing an album and she announced her tour. I think Pras and Wyclef lost it. I think they are of the mentality that if she will not record with them than they will just destroy her. They are in no way doing and saying what they are to help her. You have never heard either of them say I want her to get better for her childrens sake. It is all about putting money in their pocket.
Wyclef is the one that was admitted to the hospital awhile back for "EXHAUSTION". He better check himself; because, he appear to have some issues himself. Pras he also seems questionable the way he was foaming at the mouth on that E special and on Tavis Smileys show.

He is an egocentric, self-centred idiot. How can he think Lauryn's world revolves around him! I have more praise and respect for Lauryn now because she hasn't stooped to their levels to shoot down her fellow teammates.
Is it me or does anyone else think Wyclef's new stuff is shit also? It's too commercialised and has no creative input. His career and Pras' is nothing without lauryn, and they have lost any chance of reconciliation they might have had, with their stupid unprofessional comments

Ok, we have established that Wyclef is an ass, but how many of you knew he wrote 911 for Lauryn? I always suspected as much, but neveer knew for sure.

Ok so when I read this thread, my immediate reaction was to feel pissed that Clef talking Lauryn yet again, but then I heard the interview and parts of it cracked me up. Ok so yes Clef needs to stop saying she bipolar and stuff and he got a bit of ego saying Mised about him ( albeit it prob is ). YOu know what? As unprofessional as it is, him going on air and saying this, its mad interesting cause he's so candid in his manner, its almost like overhearing a private conversation he having with someone. Him telling the way he saw it. I also think its not about forming alliances with Team Clef or Team Lauryn because the truth is somewhere in the middle. We heard Clef's side of their working relationship, whereas Lauryn hasn't directly addressed this, yet talked about issues in her interviews. Themes like being taken advantage of and compromised. Its really easy to be swayed and empathetic to the person explaining it in their turn. Like in the past when Lauryn said her piece, Id be like totally in accord with her. And, to be honest, when Clef is talking about how L is erratic in her mood and difficult to work with, I kind of empathise with him.
And that quip about "Get back to the room" was funny.

So basically, what he's saying is that Lauryn is crazy because of him. I knew it. OMG I was falling on the ground laughing after i read this. I knew this would annoy you Sybill. I honestly think Clef isn't over the relationship. Why is he still talking about it 14 years later? What's he trying to prove now, that he couldn't in the past? These are the questions i would ask clef, because to me it seems as though in some ways he isn't over the relationship. If Lauryn isn't over the relationship as he is implying, then why is she moving on with her life. She isn't talking bad about anyone, and blaming people about her situation (which in her case would be so easy). The miseducation could have been directed at Clef, which can be seen in some songs, but thse songs can be directed to anybody (ex-factor, i used to love him). Who hasn't made an album with songs directed to someone? It's normal. Who would you sing about then? What will you sing about? Where is your inspiration to write? It's life experiences. He's trying to act like he truly cares for Lauryn, by talking about her problems, like shes just another singer he doesn't know well. But in fact he did know Lauryn, formed a group with her and even had a relationship with her. I just wish he kpt these issues to himself and Lauryn. This stuff is personal, and not for the world to know but Clef doesn't seem to mind. This is my view. When Clef talks, it's all about him. He feels good about the thought 'the miseducation' was about him. It makes im feel good that he had such power to force someone to make that kind of music about him. Clef wants to let people know that he was the reason for one of the all time best albums ever made. If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't be no record. That's what he's thinking. He wants recognition for it. See what i mean? I honestly don't care anymore for this talk. I'm just happy tha they've all gone their separate ways so now we can truly see who they are. Nothing is holding them back.

I also think its not about forming alliances with Team Clef or Team Lauryn because the truth is somewhere in the middle. The realest thing I've seen in this thread...Ya'll defend Lauryn blindly, without even considering for a moment that what Clef is saying might have some truth to it. I don't condone him going on the radio and airing it out, but ya'll hate him like he's the anti-christ. And stop with the "Lauryn was the star of the Fugees" shit...Take any member out and they aren't the same. It was a group! Not "Lauryn Hill and the Fugees"...I don't even think L would say that she was the star....it was the chemistry. And case in point, all 3 have gone on to have solo success, although L-Boogie and Clef are more successful than Pras. But still, take Pras out and the shit ain't the same.... And for all of you saying Clef is about the money, or Clef is too commercial...I for one think the dude is putting out some quality music. I love every one of his albums....His shit is different from anything out right now so I don't understand how he's going commercial....wouldn't he be talking about slinging yay and shooting up the club if he wanted to do the "in" thing....? He's creative as f**k, give credit where credit is due. Perhaps you L-Boogie fans are a little bitter that Clef still has new material coming out and you haven't heard from Lauryn since 02? Haha...just playing around...not trying to start and e-war or anything.
