Hip-hop singer slash activist Wyclef Jean was recently shot in his hand in Haiti, taken to the hospital, treated and then released.

The mysterious incident occurred in Port-au-Prince yesterday, but according to Jean's rep, Cindy Tanenbaum, the singer "is doing well."

Tanenbaum adds that the wound was "superficial."

Today the country goes to the polls for a runoff vote in its presidential election. Haitians are choosing between former first lady Mirlande Manigat and musician Michel Martelly, in the second round of elections.

Final results of the runoff will be released on April 16, according to officials.

Jean has been supporting Haiti via his Yele Haiti Foundation and has offered his aid since the devastating earthquake over a year ago. Jean is supporting Martelly in the election.

The celebrity feud between former Haiti presidential hopeful Wyclef Jean and Sean Penn is heating up after Penn fired back at Jean for accusing him of "sniffing cocaine" while lending a hand to earthquake relief in the disaster-ravaged country.

"Mr. Jean is clearly unfamiliar with the physical demands put upon volunteers in Haiti," Sean Penn's spokesperson said in a statement. "As aid workers there, the notion of depleting the body's immune system thru the use of illicit drugs is ludicrous."

Penn has been living in a tent in Haiti since the beginning of the year, working with the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, the non-profit he founded following the earthquake that ravaged the poor nation. After Wyclef announced his bid to run for president of Haiti, Sean told Larry King that Jean hadn't been seen in the country for months.

Last week, Wyclef, who was deemed ineligible to run for president due to non-residency, dissed Penn in song at a concert, singing "I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine."

Sean's rep added that "J/P Haitian Relief Organization (a.k.a. JPHRO) has a ZERO tolerance policy for any and all illegal drugs," referring to the non-governmental organization the actor co-founded to help the island just hours after the quake hit. "As the leader of this organization, Sean Penn has not only set this policy, but adheres to it. That Mr. Jean would make such a false accusation is reckless and saddening, but not surprising."

After Sean Penn and former Fugees bandmate Praswell criticized Wyclef Jean's bid to run for president of Haiti, the MC is firing back in a big way.

"I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine," Wyclef sang during Hot 97's On The Reggae Tip concert Friday. (Penn said he hadn't seen Wyclef on the ground in Haiti during Sean's six month earthquake relief mission.)

As for Pras, "even though you don't want to support me, I got love for you, even though you only kicked 8 bars in the Fugees," he sang, switching out the lyrics to his song "President."

Wyclef was deemed ineligible to run for president of Haiti after a board determined he was not a resident.

Fugee member Wyclef Jean is said to be eyeing a bid to become the next president of Haiti. But Jean, who is already the ambassador-at-large to the Caribbean island where he was born, has not yet made a decision if he'll throw his hat into the ring for the 2010 elections.

In an e-mail to reporters, the Jean family said, "Wyclef’s commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward … If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately."

But if he does decide to run, he'll probably have to endure even more questions about the amount of money paid to him by his own Yele Haiti foundation for promotional appearance in the country to raise money for the earthquake victims.

These pix really say it all - the Miami-based "Give On The Go" fundraising division of Red Fish Media has raised over $2 million in donations for Wyclef Jean's "Yele Haiti" foundation. (This is where you can text "Yele" to 501501 on your cell phone to make a contribution...)

Red Rish prez Matt McKenna says the following: "100% of the donations that are made are given directly to the charity and our goal is to raise $1 million per day for the sufferers of this catastrophe."

The Haitian-born Jean is in the earthquake-destroyed country himself "picking up dead bodies because the morgues ain't taking no more bodies," he says.

Jean's foundation has also come under scrutiny for taking the donated money and putting it back into the singer's own pocket, according to The Smoking Gun. Apparently, the Wyclef Jean Foundation - known now as the Yele Haiti Foundation - has been around for 12 years, but only filed its first tax returns in August 2009.

It seems that in the past, approximately $410,000 of foundation money has been paid back to Jean himself when, well, it shouldn't!

What does Wyclef have to say about all this? Watch the vid below to see for yourself!

Wyclef Jean's name may be in the news courtesy of some nasty steroid allegations - but it looks like the Fugee's fans give him all the strength he needs!

We caught the Hatian sensation pulling up to the Ed Sullivan Theater for an appearance with David Letterman.

'Clef graciously chitchatted with fans about his life, Haiti, and even the Fugees - when one onlooker asked for an update, Jean laughed and told him to "ask Lauryn"!

No roid rage here!
