Snoop Dogg Out. Wyclef In.

Fri, Feb 12, 2010

Snoop Dogg Out. Wyclef In.

If all the details are worked out, Haitian native and former member of the Fugees, Wyclef Jean, will perform at Colgate for Spring Party Weekend in late April.

The Colgate Maroon News reports that Jean was the clear winner in recently concluded online voting. Runner up was Pitbull.

The selection of Jean comes after university officials said a concert by the students' first choice, Snoop Dogg, would pose too many logistical issues.

Jean, 37, has a self-titled album due out some time this year. He recently was a guest speaker during the Hope for Haiti Concert and performed at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies in Oslo, Norway last December.

Jean's Colgate concert is slated for April 24 on Whitnall Field.

Last year's headliner was Lupe Fiasco.
