Wyclef Jean has Debts to Settle Before Candidacy

Wyclef Jean Haiti

The future candidate for the presidency of Haiti may have to settle a debt before he takes on the media storm. According to The Smoking Gun, Wyclef owes more than 2.1 million dollars to the IRS. The musician’s tax trouble comes from his 1040 returns that weren’t paid in 2006, 2007, and 2008.

The liens were filed in Bergen County, NJ at the County Clerks office. Wyclef bought a home there in Saddle River for almost 2 million back in 1998. The first lien filed against the Wyclef was back in 2007 for over $790, 000.

While the very ambitious hip-hop star prepares for his announcement for candidacy, he would surely seem to settle his debt Uncle Sam.
