Wyclef Jean Opens Up About Being Shot In His Native Haiti

"It brought light to the fact that there was an election going on that day. I don't think none of you all knew about an election in Haiti until everyone heard what happened to me. It was definitely a graze. The bullet didn't go in or anything. There's a lot to the story ... The story is about the fact that we had an election and our party is in the lead. It's a young party, trying to take over the country." Jean says the wound was painful, "but it was more like shock and awe" when he was shot. "They put in the anesthesia and stuff. The pain came after all that."
