It’s a lot of pressure, Wyclef says.
Question: Do you understand Dave Chapelle’s disappearance from show business?
Wyclef Jean: I mean, you know, I could definitely relate to Dave Chappelle. I mean, I basically -- I think I left the music industry for, like, three years. A lot of people was like, what Wyclef’s doing, and it basically looked like I was out of the scene. But I went back to Haiti, started doing charity work, clearing my mind. Because sometime the industry can be -- it’s a lot of pressure because, you know, they expect you to produce. And every time you get a good one, they expect another one, then another one, then another, one; and sometimes, now you start to get tired because you’re, like, just trying to appease people opposed to, you know, just concentrating on your art.
