“I’m here in the belly of Haiti, I endorse Michel Martelly as the next president of Haiti,” the rapper Tweeted.
Michel added: “I want to make it unequivocally clear I love Wyclef to def [sic] but he’s not [qualified] to be the leader of the new Haiti. Wyclef’s patriotism for Haiti is unwavering but still isn’t suited to prez [sic] of new Haiti!”
Pras’s biggest solo hit was 1998’s “Ghetto Supastar” from the soundtrack to Bulworth, a movie about a politician who thinks he’s a rapper. Evidently, Pras doesn’t think the movie needed a sequel.
