Wyclef Opens Up About Cheating on His Wife With Lauryn Hill

This is one of, if not the major reason why The Fugees (Wyclef Jean, Pras, & Lauryn Hill) broke up. Their "The Score" (1996) album still remains one of the highest selling rap albums by a hip hop act; selling 18 million copies worldwide to date. Wyclef just released his Autobiography, titled Purpose: An Immigrant's Story, and in it he speaks on his relationship with Lauryn Hill while he was already married, and how the love between them died when she made him believe she was pregnant with his kid; later to find out it was for Rohan Marley (The Late Bob Marley's son).

Below is a direct quote from Wyclef-







"In that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn’t forgive that.”

“She could no longer be my muse... Our love spell was broken.”








Clef got married in 1994 to Marie Claudinette, a Haitian, and fashion person. The Fugees had their first album (Bunted on Reality) in 1994, but it was their second album, The Score (1996) that got them worldwide recognition. So, while Wyclef was cheating on his wife with Lauryn, she was also cheating on him with Rohan Marley. But, i now can see where the energy for that album came from...it was the fire between them that birthed the creativity. 









But, it must have been tough on Clef tho...i watched his interview on Wendy William's Show today, and he said he was actually at the hospital when she gave birth, and when he saw the baby, he knew immediately that it wasn't his. When Wendy asked him how he knew the bay wasn't his, he said- "the baby was yellow."







In case you don't know much about the Fugees, i would like to do a quick run through their story. Wyclef Jean and Pras Mitchell are cousins; and Lauryn Hill and Pras attended a New Jersey High School together. Pras and Lauryn were doing their music thing in school, and then Clef joined later. The Trio originally went by the name Tranzlator Crew in 1992, but changed that to The Fugees when they signed to Ruffhouse Records (distributed through Columbia Records) in 1993. Their first album (Blunted on Reality- 1994) didn't get much recognition, but their second album, The Score (1996) spawned hit singles like Ready Or Not, Killing Me Softly, Fugeela, and their own version of Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry.

After The Score in 1996, and Lauryn Hill giving birth to Rohan Marley's son (Zion) in 1997, they all went their separate ways. And people have been calling for a Fugees re-union since then, but as i have always said- it ain't ever gonna happen. By the way, Lauryn went on to have a total of 5 kids for Rohan. But they are now separated, and Rohan Marley is currently engaged to Brazilian supermodel, Isabeli Fontana.
