Although he was married when they carried on a torrid affair, Fugees founder Wyclef Jean says it was bandmate Lauryn Hill’s lies꧟ about the paternity of her child that doomed the ’90s hip-hop trio.
Jean claims𝄹 Hill tricked him into believing🐻 her firstborn son was his, when, in fact, the father was Bob Marley’s son Rohan.
“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,” 💫Jean writes in “Purpose,” at which The Post got a first look yesterday.
The Haitian-born Jean 🌜says the betrayal by Hill led to the band’s 1997 breakup.
“She could not lo🔥nger be my muse,” he wrote. “Our love spell was𒉰 broken.”
Jean ad𝄹mits to having many problems with his nonprofit, Yele, whose financial irregularites were first reported by The Post.
Jean, 42, perf⭕ormed Friday at the HK Lounge in Hell’s Kitchen with guitarist Prince Charming. The book, which is published by Harper Collins, comes out tomorrow.
