What a sore loser!

Tensions between Wyclef Jean and Sean Penn haven’t gone away after Penn publicly criticized Jean during his bid in the Haiti presidential race, which he has been disqualified from.

Wyclef finally lashed out against Penn during a concert last week:
"I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine."

Penn’s reps responded immediately, calling Jean’s comments “highly irresponsible and false.”
"Mr. Jean is clearly unfamiliar with the physical demands put upon volunteers in Haiti. As aid workers there, the notion of depleting the body’s immune system thru the use of illicit drugs is ludicrous. More specifically, J/P Haitian Relief Organization (a.k.a. JPHRO) has a ZERO tolerance policy for any and all illegal drugs. As the leader of this organization, Sean Penn has not only set this policy, but adheres to it. That Mr. Jean would make such a false accusation is reckless and saddening, but not surprising."

How lame, Wyclef. You get kicked out of an election in which you never should have been running in the first place, and now you go crying to your fans and accuse Penn of drug use? Grow up!
