Wyclef Jean was hired to entertain the crowd at a corporate event, but he dropped the ball…or in this case, a CEO.
On Monday night (Nov. 15), the Fugees rapper performed at the Range Rover Leadership Summit in Los Angeles before taking his talents to the after-party at the Edition Hotel in West Hollywood. There, he served as entertainment for attendees, including Joe Eberhardt, the President & CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America. According to footage from the event, the CEO took a seat on Wyclef’s shoulders and attempted to find his balance by grabbing onto the rapper’s hands. Moments later, he stumbled and fell, launching Eberhardt onto the floor. “Are you OK?” the star asked while several people rushed to help the executive.
According to TMZ, the CEO was not seriously injured after the fall, but he was “rattled by the drop” and decided to end his night early. As for Jean, he reportedly “looked embarrassed by the whole thing.” Fortunately, the Haitian star has time to recoup before he takes the stage for a tour with fellow members of the legendary Fugees.
As previously reported by REVOLT, the “Gone Till November” singer, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel are hitting 12 different cities as part of a reunion tour. The show was initially scheduled to kick off this year in Chicago in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Fugees, but the group announced they were pushing back the tour.
“Dates for our upcoming Fugees 25th Anniversary Tour are moving to early 2022 to ensure the best chance that all cities on the tour are fully open so we can perform for as many fans as possible,” they said in a statement. “With so much excitement around the reunion tour, we are also happy to announce that we will be adding more cities and dates!”
