Hip-hop singer, Wycleaf Jean has just stepped out of his car to talk on his phone when he hear ‘the sound of boom’ and then felt the blood oozing from his hand.

The singer was at his native home Haiti, at Port-au-Prince Saturday night when the incident happened, Jean said in an interview with CNN.

The spokesman for Haitian national police confirmed the shooting incident, noting that the Jean was immediately brought to the hospital for immediate treatment. The authorities have remained mum however, whether the wound in Jean’s hand resulted from a bullet or from a glass.

Jean’s spokeswoman, Cindy Tanenbaum said in a statement that the singer is doing well’ noting that the wound was ‘superficial’. Quoting Tanenbaum, CNN said that the singer has already been released from the hospital after the treatment.

The Haitian singer refused to comment whether he was a victim of a failed assassination and said, according to CNN International: “ I can’t even speculate”.

Garry Desrosiers, the spokesman for the Haitian national police said that the investigation launched by the Haitian police has been delayed following Jean’s refusal to speak to the police authorities.

The hip-hop singer is in Haiti to express his support for popular musician, Michel Martelly, who is a candidate for the Presidential elections currently being held in Haiti. Martelly is running against former first lady, Mirlande Manigat in the pivotal presidential election held last Sunday.

A spokesman for the Martelly camp asserted that the hip-hop singer is fine and is busy with what he went home to Haiti for over the weekend.

“It was nothing,” the spokesman for the Martelly campaign, Damien Merlo was quoted as saying by the CNN International.

He added, “He’s fine and out and about getting out the vote for us.”

Jean, said CNN called the elections ‘historical’.

“This was done, the majority of it, with technology,” the singer said, according to CNN. “It’s going great because this moment in history is being defined with the technology, Facebook, Twitter, SMS, Livestream”.

Described by CNN as ‘outspoken’, Wycleaf Jean is one of the first celebrities to have offered aid following the devastating earthquake in the country last year.

Though he now goes solo, Jean propelled to fame in the mid-1990s as a member of the Fugees, a hip-hop ad reggae group based in the United States.
