Over the weekend "Haiti relief rivals" Sean Penn and Wyclef Jean had an intense confrontation during a music concert in Times Square. Get the deets on their verbal warfare inside and find out why Justin Bieber fans have beef with Esperanza Spalding and how they expressed their anger last night after the cut...
We told you earlier about the war of words between Sean Penn and Wyclef Jeans a few months ago, when Sean Penn attacked Wycle Jean for wanting to be President of Haiti saying, he has a "personality that threatens to create a new swell of social unrest in a plagued country."
Wyclef responded saying "I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine."
Well....the two fellas bumped into each other on Saturday at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in Times Square as both went to see Haitian band T-Vice perform.
Sources tell Page Six that the two men locked themselves in a backstage dressing room for a 30-minute argument before emerging, having made peace.
"They were both in the venue, and when they saw each other at around 1 a.m., they started a confrontation. Things seemed pretty tense, and everyone around them was nervous. They then asked staff if they could go somewhere private, so they were led into a dressing room backstage where they could be alone and shut the door. They weren't yelling and screaming, but they had it out and aired their differences for 30 minutes. When they came out they hugged each other, they went onstage and stood side-by-side," said a source.
It is good these two worked out their differences and perhaps they can start a charitable effort together to help Haiti in its time of need.
In music news...
A few Justin Bieber fans took offense when he lost out on the Grammy for Best New Artist to jazzy artist Esperanza Spalding. So some fans took to her Wikipedia page and put a few nasty comments.
According to MTV.com, random facts and taunts were added to the site and then quickly removed. For example, after a sentence talking about her victory, a user added the statement, “Justin Bieber deserved it go die in a hole. Who the heck are you anyway?”
Although Justin shared in his fans’ frustration, he told MTV News,
“I’m not going to lie — I was disappointed. But, you know, I’m gonna come back [next year] and we’ll take a few home.”
And when Justin saw Esperanza backstage at the Staples Center the two artists shook hands.
Esperanza was just as surprised by the win as everyone else.
“I was one of those [surprised] people. It was so unexpected, that’s the truth. I’m grateful to all my people in my big musical family that have given me so much support and help over the years. I don’t really think this is for me; it’s for all of us. And I wish they could all be here to put one finger on this with me.”
Congrats to Esperanza and hopefully Justin's young fans will take the high road like their idol.
