Wounded ... Wyclef Jean
HIP hop star Wyclef Jean told yesterday how he was shot in Haiti.
The Fugees frontman was campaigning in the troubled country for a pal standing in its presidential election.
Wyclef's hand was grazed by a bullet when he stepped out of a car to make a phone call.
Describing the noise of shots Haiti-born Wyclef, 41, said: "I heard 'blow, blow, blow' and I looked down at my right hand."
The US-based star said he had no idea who fired the shots or which direction they came from in the capital Port-au-Prince.
He went to a local hospital - with blood on his shirt and shoes - and was released after treatment. Wyclef's management assured worried fans on Twitter: "We have spoken to Wyclef, he is OK. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers."
Wyclef was in his homeland to support the campaign by his musician pal Michel Martelly - a newcomer to politics who has a strong following among youth.
Haiti's 4.7million voters were choosing last night between Martelly and former first lady Mirlande Manigat, 70.
