Prakazrel Samuel Michel more commonly called Pras formerly of the Fugees opposes bandmember Wycliff's Haitian Presidential run.
It must be like a dagger in your back when your own ‘cousin’ and band member not only refuses to back you in an election race but backs your opponent instead.
This is the case with Pras who has refused to back his former Fugees colleague Wycliffe Jean in his bid to become the next President of their beleaguered country Haiti.
Pras, who like Jean was born in Haiti and grew up ‘practially as cousins with Jean’ before moving to the USA, says he will not back Jean because he lacks a definitive plan to bring the island nation into the 21st century.
“You’ve got 1.2 million people living in tent city right,” says Pras of the survivors of the January 12 earthquake. “What are the plans to get these people out?”
Jean has not yet responded to Pras’ comments but that’s the second high-profile opposition he has fielded since he announced his decision to run for presidency last week.
Actor Sean Pean has also accused Jean of not spending enough time in Haiti after the quake and misappropriating US$400,000 of the $9 million his charity, Yele Haiti, raised after the disaster.
This is not looking too pretty. Stay tuned…
