Haitians headed to the polls to pick a new president Sunday among conflicting reports that former candidate wannabe Wyclef Jean was shot.

Jean said a bullet grazed his hand as he stepped out of a car to make a phone call, but local police claim he was only injured by glass.

"The way I can explain it is that the bullet grazed me in my right hand," said the hip-hop singer, who has been in Haiti campaigning on behalf of Michel (Sweet Micky) Martelly. "I heard blow, blow, blow and I just looked at my hand."

Jean said he was in a car with a driver in the Delmas section of the capital at the time. He doesn't know who fired the shots, or whether they were directed at him, the 37-year-old Grammy winner said.

"I heard blow, blow, blow and I just looked at my hand."

"Blow, blow blow?" Wouldn't that be a peashooter?

Perhaps a free-for-all cocaine party?

It’s our next film, “Other Walls 2 Fall.” I interviewed Christian rocker Lincoln Brewster three weeks ago, Yanni last week, Clint Black about two weeks ago. We’re getting musicians from all over the spectrum to talk about the power of music to change cultures.
