“I was still on welfare when this record came out,” Wyclef Jean told the crowd at Nokia Theatre Monday night. “And still working at Burger King!”
The former Fugees frontman then dove into an alcohol-fueled version of “Ready or Not,” also informing the crowd that, “I hope you got the drink in your system, cause I do.”
Jean teamed up with Eve and doo-wop artist Raphael Saadiq for New York’s Advertising Week – an annual industry event designed to promote networking and reward creativity in media. (Monday’s event was sponsored by Billboard.com).
Wyclef played nearly two hours for employees, including songs like “Perfect Gentleman,” “Gone Til November,” a cover of Bob Marley‘s “No Woman No Cry,” and an in-Poison Ivy’s-face version of “Sweetest Girl.” (Our favorite!)
