Wyclef Jean Hospitalised For Exhaustion

Wyclef Jean has been treated in hospital for stress and exhaustion, it's been confirmed.

The former Fugees star, who recently dropped his bid for Haiti's presidency, was admitted to a medical facility at the weekend.

His publicist told the Associated Press the rapper was “suffering from stress and fatigue based on the gruelling eight weeks he's had”.

Details of where Jean is being treated remain unknown.

Last week, the rapper abandoned his bid to become Haiti's next president after his candidacy was formally rejected by the Haitian authorities.

The country's constitution requires that all candidates have lived in Haiti for at least the last five years before the election. Jean currently lives in America.

He has also been working on a new album, entitled 'If I Were President: The Haitian Experience', which is due out next year.
