Wyclef Jean In Hiding ...Getting Death Threats

With the brewing critics about Wyclef nominee for Presidency in Haiti has finally boiled over.  Wyclef who hasn't lived in his country  in over 5 years has a lot of people beyond mad. Ex-Fugees singer Wyclef Jean says that death threats "come with the territory" and that he won't be put off from trying to stand as president of Haiti. Accompanied by an armed guard and other supporters, he said: "In the past couple of days we have received a few death threats.

"Just for our safety we came to an area where we feel is secured - that is my town.  "We're in an area where we're comfortable, the area where we were at before, we weren't comfortable.

The 37-year-old has moved his team to his childhood town after getting a series of warnings, including a phone call telling him to "get out of Haiti".

"We know this situation we've embarked on, death threats come with the territory. But beyond that it's not about all those negative information (sic)."

The singer's plans have stirred controversy in the Caribbean country, with his ex-bandmate Pras Michel and actor Sean Penn among those criticising his bid.  Haiti's electoral commission has also postponed  until Aug 20.
