Death Threats Send Wyclef Jean Into Hiding

Wyclef Jean says he’s hiding out in a secret location in Haiti after getting death threats related to his presidential bid. Jean says someone has promised to kill him if he does not leave the country, but he has no intention of doing so, the Guardian reports. He offered no other details of the threat.

Jean is still waiting for the election commission to decide whether he is even eligible to run for Haiti's top job; his longtime residency in the United States could be a hurdle.
