Wyclef Get Your Life: Singer Says Lauryn Hill Lied And Told Him Her First Son Was His

September 17th, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

In the last 72 hours, two men from Lauryn Hill’s past have come out the woodwork to talk about their relationship with the troubled singer and they aren’t portraying her in the best light. On Friday, we told you how Rohan was subtly putting Lauryn on blast about some behavior that he just couldn’t accept as a man; now, her former bandmate Wyclef wants us to believe that L-Boogie tried to pull a Maury Povich on him and declare he was the father of her oldest son when he isn’t.

The allegation is exposed in Wyclef’s new memoir, “Purpose,” in which he talks about his extramarital affair with Lauryn during the same time she was involved with Rohan Marley. As we know now, Rohan is the father of Lauryn’s son, Zion, but Wyclef claims she initially lied and told him otherwise.

“In that moment something died between us,” he wrote. “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. She could no longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken.”

Now I’m not trying to say Wyclef is lying, I just want to know why he’s talking about this in the first place. He claims that Lauryn’s lie is what broke up the Fugees in 1997, but there’s really nothing to be gained from revealing this information—other than increased book sales, of course. It’s sort of hard to take a man who was cheating on his own wife seriously about his love spell with another woman being broken because of a lie she told. I need him to spend as much time analyzing his own shortcomings and the lies he told his own wife in his memoir rather than exposing someone else’s, particularly when a child, who is now 12 years of age and old enough to have access to this information, is involved.

What do you think about Wyclef writing about Zion’s paternity in his new memoir?

    Wyclef still bitter he’s not Lauryn’s baby daddy. Get over it son.

  • Guest

    I said it before and I’ll say it again, Why are people still talking about her? She hasn’t done anything relevant in years!!!! We tend to idolize people we really should be praying for!!!!

  • Elsebeth

    Can’t feel bad for Wyclef. He slept with another woman when he was married. I’m sure Lauryn wasn’t the only “muse”.

  • Hello_Kitty81

    Okay, what was Wyclef doing sleeping with Lauryn and he was a married man? This the ish I don’t get, people get more mad at the mistress than the married man and the the man has a wife and kids at home, after making a vow to be faithful to his wife! Also Lauryn is messed up too, sleeping with 2 married guys and don’t know who fathered the unborn child, really?! No sides to take here!

  • Trisha_B

    I love Lauryn’s music, but she gets the same treatment like we give many women. She’s a h*e I’m sorry. You mess w/ 2 married men at the same time? (Knowing they married) Don’t know who the pappy is? Seriously?! & the men are h*e’s too b/c how could you sleep w/ a woman while your married? (Well Rohan did eventually divorce his wife). This love triangle ain’t Sh!t. I was reading more of the book on another site & it was pure juiciness. He’s even blaming Rohan for Lauryn’s downfall lmao.

  • NikkitaMichelle

    Good bad or ugly memoirs are supposed to be a true depiction of your life. If you’re going to reveal only what you’re comfortable revealing then what’s the point?

  • Na Na

    Wyclef is a douchebag! I hosted a Q and A for him at a radio station I was working at and alllll he talked about was Lauryn Hill is crazy, Lauryn Hill is in love with me…blah blah blah. At one point someone asked him why al he did was bash Lauryn because at this point its irrelevant……crickets. He got quiet.

    Wow, I missed of been under a rock because this is the 1st time I heard Wyclef say he might have been the baby daddy. Ive always heard it was Rohan’s with no question. We are all flawed but like Lauryn is as relevant right now as the concord plane. None

    • xyzebra

      missed of been, that’s a new one

  • realadulttalk

    He didn’t expose anything. Uh, that Zion’s mother has multiple children and no husband to speak of tells that little boy a story that no one’s memoir needs to contain-she makes poor decisions when it comes to men.

  • Thatsmystory

    So, the ratchetness of Wyclef sleeping with his bandmate while he was married wasn’t the beginning of the end for the group? According to Wyclef it was Lauryn not being quite sure who her baby’s daddy was at that time? Yep! I could see how that could be the reason for a married man to let go of his side chick. WOW!!!!!!!

  • Old Hip Hop Head

    Oh please, I was there to see it. Wyclef is full of himself. Laurynn at that time, was very shy. He even made her drink just to loosen up and get her to sing on stage. He watched her closely and if a male talked to her for too long, he would literally walk over and steer her away. He acted too much like a jealous boyfriend/owner than a friend or band mate. He’s a cheat and she fell victim to and industry set on turning you out then turning you loose by using what you love most. Everyone wanted all of her energy because her spirit was so beautiful. Those that succeeded not only took her energy, they took her mind too! There’s three sides to every story my side, your side, and the truth. You would have had to been there to see it! Both Men saw her as a commodity and a possession.

    • Jaeda

      “Oh please, I was there to see it” Really??? (in my Jay-Z voice) We don’t believe you you need more people!!!

      • Old Hip Hop Head

        Just give it time Jaeda, I’m sure more folks will post who actually got a change to catch Wycleff’s antics.

        • Nis

          I can believe what you say because it was what her album after the Miseducation was addressing. She was messed up in the head and just never got right again..so I say?! LOL. Despite the tax issues, she may have more joy and peace in her life than us spectators may ever know. Wyclef’s accounts his truth. We don’t nor we will ever know!

    • Hmm

      Seems plausible.

    • Cocoa

      Lauryn, is that you? lol

      • Old Hip Hop Head

        Maybe!!! After all, every side needs to be heard!

  • gmarie

    Wyclef has been telling this story for years, this isn’t news. Both he and Rohan were at the hospital. He just happens to have written a book on his life and this is a part of it.. Sorry your Queen is flawed but we all have our issues

    • guest510

      I dont even know you, but I love you for this! LOL It’s what I’ve been thinking since I first read about this.

    • realadulttalk

      Thank you! This is old news…common knowledge for the most part.

      • MLS2698

        Um, so, did they do a DNA test to prove that Rohan is the father? This is news to me, but I used to ask my self, what happens in a group ( artists) of men with a woman in the mix. I guess somebody ends up having s-e-x. Wy was married, anyway. So why is he complaining?

  • gracie

    Tacky !

  • abbysee

    It’s his life, his truth. It’s obvious Lauren’s secret life wasn’t exactly this walk toward enlightenment, but extremely troubled. Rohan or Wyclef are not the only weird ones in this saga.

  • ok_dayumm

    I’m only interested because Lauryn has always kept her business on the hush…as she should…but still I want all the juicy details. When exactly did he find out that the child was not his..and other interesting facts that inquiring minds want to know. Whether it was intentional on Lauryn’s part or not she has always seemed to be such a righteous person, but hearing this and then knowing that another man besides Rohan fathered her last child paints a whole new picture of who the real Lauryn Hill is. I wouldn’t mind knowing who the latest baby daddy is too…I’m just nosy I guess.

    • Trisha_B

      He said he found out at the birth the baby wasn’t his. So i guess they did a DNA test, or just went off of looks lol. idk

  • Anndrex

    If this is his story why shouldn’t he tell it? What’s tacky about it? If it’s his truth; it should be in his memoir.

    Well written…Wyclef is a trip for this one.

  • L-Boogie

    Trifling. So glad I do not have children.
