A feud between Sean Penn and Wyclef Jean over Haiti escalated this week, as the rapper suggested that the actor was too busy “sniffing cocaine” to notice Jean’s efforts in the earthquake-torn country. Penn, who has been doing relief work in Haiti, had said Jean was a “non-presence” who didn’t deserve to run for president. In response to Jean’s charge, Penn said “the demands put upon volunteers in Haiti” such as himself require a level of fitness that precludes “the use of drugs.”
