Wyclef Jean

As if all those tax issues weren’t enough to be getting on with for poor old Lauryn Hill, now her former bandmate and ex-lover Wyclef Jean has been dishing some dirt in his new memoirs.

Jean has previously indicated that his affair with Hill, or its ending, led to the collapse of The Fugees in 1997, though in his new book ‘Purpose’ he reveals that it was Hill lying about the paternity of one of her children that brought their relationship to a head. According to the New York Post, Jean alleges in the new book that Hill told him he was the father of one of her sons, when actually the child’s father was Rohan ‘son of Bob’ Marley, with whom Hill has had five children.

The Post’s excerpt from Jean’s book reads: “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”.
