Lauryn Hill Explains Why She Hasn’t Responded To Wyclef

Mon, Nov 12 2012 by Necole Bitchie | Filed Under: Celebrities

It looks as though Lauryn Hill has no time for Wyclef and his shenanigans.

Back in September, Wyclef made headlines with the release of his autobiography, titled “Purpose”. In the book, he claimed that Lauryn tricked him into believing that her first child was his baby up until the child’s birth. During promo appearances to promote the book, he also talked about Lauryn’s relationship with Rohan Marley and the demise of the Fugees while claiming that he believed Lauryn was bipolar.

Meanwhile, L Boogie has been quiet during this whole ordeal. During a recent stop in Dallas, as part of the “Life Is Good/Black Rage tour” with Nas, Lauryn subliminally addressed all the chatter surrounding Wyclef and his book, and also explained why she has chosen to take the high road. She said:

When you are on the other side of liberation, just make sure you are not late. Be careful how you judge, there is a lot of deception out there. A lot of misunderstanding out there. A lot of miscommunication out there. A lot of false information out there. And notice, out of all the people who talk talk talk, who’s the silent one. There’s a lot of chat, but me….

And you know why? Let me tell you why I don’t chat back. Because I know that my brothers and my sisters are often times pawns in a bigger scheme so when they, under pressure, attack me, I love them still. It’s called the high road. Try taking it sometimes.

I’m not going to play my hand like the suppressive system would have me play my hand. Because I know [about] the oppression that took place in Haiti, and Jamaica, and America, and Africa and Europe. So just be patient. The truth always surfaces and especially, all you black folks out there who have had black mothers who carried you through thick and thin, when the system wanted to call them crazy, just remember that…

You know I know I’m not crazy, that’s why I can use the word so freely. Crazy like a fox? Ahead of the curve. People don’t like people that’s ahead of the curve but unfortunately that’s not my problem.

mjscarousal	Well I love lauryn and what she said made sense. It was abstract and metaphoric and wasnt suppose to be concrete. It was suppose to make you think

datdude	past rants and tangents notwithstanding, this MADE SENSE to me, but ppl can't process Lauryn in spite of those times where she seemed unwell. i'm still rooting for Lauryn but ppl will probably always think she's a loon

mjscarousal	Yall need to leave Lauryn Hill alone and stop being so judegemental. Lauryn is a Rasta and they dont believe in protection. Nobody is perfect so who are we to throw stones at somebody else. People really find enjoyment with peoples issues? TMZ.ORG
