“She could no longer be my muse, Our love spell was broken”. – Wyclef Jean.
I haven’t seen such a good pitch for sales since Usher’s “Confessions”…
In Wyclef’s new autobiography, “Purpose: An Immigrant’s Story” which releases tomorrow, he touches on behind the curtain stories of the Fugees, the insider story of recording the album, and ultimately the downfall that broke the successful group up in 1997.
Anyone who listened to the Fugees was torn when they heard about the break-up. Even worse... the fact that there could possibly never be another Fugees album again. Some speculated the departure was over money, egos etc. However, with this new excerpt floating around, “coincidentally”, the day before the book is released… it seems it was a little deeper than we all could’ve imagined.
‘Clef explains that He and Lauryn were dating or having a passionate affair if you will, although he was also married at the time to Marie Claudinette. Lauryn became pregnant and a curve was thrown. ‘Clef was under the impression that the child was his; the child that ultimately proved to be fathered by Rohan Marley.
“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”…
With a bait story like this, Jean will definitely lure people to becoming interested in his book. But… will the buzz secure the sales??
Personally, I am interested to find out why he was upset with her about “allegedly” misleading him, when he was committing adultery? Was it a different situation or does Karma hurt a bit much? I’m, also, interested into finding out where Pras falls into all of this. It should be very interesting to see how the entire story unfolds and if any of the members will speak on it after. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Until then… listen to some old tunes from the Gees.
