Wyclef Jean Marks Haitian Presidential Campaign with First Ad


If Wyclef Jean announcing his foray into Haitian politics wasn’t bizarre enough, the hip-hop star’s first campaign ad will get your heads scratching in bewilderment.
The first spot for the Fas A Fas campaign follows Jean during a campaign trail, with fanatic supporters rallying around the star, much like at a hip-hop concert.
There’s no dialog involved either; there’s just celebrity posturing with the thumbs-up signs and posters of Jean’s face being touted all through the two-and-a-half minute ad. In fact, the whole thing looks and sounds more like a music video than anything else.
Sure, it’s not that bad, but the ad doesn’t answer any questions or give any information on Jean’s campaign. So after watching it, we’re still unconvinced if Jean can run a country as he can a stage.
Watch the above video from HipHopWired and tell us what you think of the ad.
