Wyclef Jean Thinks Lauryn Hill Is Bipolar!

WYCLEF Jean isn’t angry with Lauryn Hill, who broke up the Fugees just as the band was peaking to go solo. “I felt sorry for her, because I think she needs psychiatric help.

She wasn’t always like this - but if someone has the ego and you keep feeding the ego, it’s going to turn monstrous.”
