MUSICIAN WYCLEF JEAN:MY DAUGHTER ANGELINA HAS GREAT POTENTIAL
Musician and producer Wyclef Jean sees great potential for his daughter Angelina Claudinelle,who Wyclef and wife Claudinette adopted from Haiti in March 2005:
My wife Claudinette,and I have had Angelina,who is Haitian and Guyanese,since she was about 3 days old,so I see her as ours. On our first night together,we just lay there gazing at our daughter,playing with her.It was really emotional.You always hear tales about how being a parent will change you,but it’s not until the child comes that you start to trip out.Growing up with West Indian parents was tough love for me. I got whupped.But the way my father raised me actually made me stronger.However,I’ve decided that with my daughter,if there’s something that i don’t agree with,I’ll just sit her down and we’ll talk. I’m so excited about watching her grow into the woman she’ll become. I can already see that she has such potential and a great heart.”

Bless you Wyclef and your beautiful family.
She is so cute. They look like such loving parents and I love Wyclef, he is a talented musician. But let me tell these daddies with these gorgeous little angels. Get the sticks ready to fight off the boys.
This little cutie looks just him with those big eyes pretty, hard to believe she was adopted.That’s makes this union even more special.
That girl is just absoluty gorgeous!!
It’s good to see black fathers taking care of their kids.
amen to cute she need a bodyguard.from the boy.
Thank you BCK for re-focusing on this beautiful child! She’s neck and neck with Nahla Aubry for Most Beautiful! I hope we are able to watch this little cutie develop and blossom over the years, too.
Angelina is beautiful.
Wyclef being a Haitian Im very surprised he is calling himself “west indian”. Ive never heard this from a Haitiain. I heard Trinidadians say this, bc they are of Indian descent.
The term ‘West Indian’ doesn’t have anything to do with being Indian or Indian descent. It’s a name that was applied to the Caribbean region ever since Columbus got here by accident and thought he reached India. The later European powers used ‘East Indies’ to refer to their holdings in India/Asia and ‘West Indies’ in reference to their Caribbean colonies.
Ok, school’s over. Turning my brain off now.
WHAT!!
I THOUGHT SHE WAS HIS BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM…
WHEN GOD MADE THIS UNION HE HAD A SMERK ON HIS FACE,
Thought I was the only one that seen that. I was thinking for her to be adopted, she resembles him a lot.
She is so beautiful! See black men & black women make beautiful children. Some of y’all get so hung up on having a child that is mixed, you forget your roots! No disrespect to anyone who is mixed, you can’t help who you fall in love with, but some folks choose to ignore black love thinking the grass is greener on the other side.
