Rap star/producer Wyclef was recently hospitalized with chest pains.

According to sources, the rapper went to the hospital over the weekend.

Jean, 37, became exhausted after the past three months, as he worked on his career and a bid for the president of Haiti.

“I’m doing fine, just over worked. I Thank every one for their outreach and prayers,” Wyclef Jean told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement.

A representative for Wyclef Jean said that the rapper suffered from stress due to lack of sleep, from a hectic travel schedule.

“Wyclef is currently suffering the effects of lack of sleep and stress, global travel, even the endless public eye, and has asked that his fans and supporters bear with him for the next several days as he regains his physical health and stamina,” a rep said in a statement.

Doctors ordered Wyclef to get more rest and released him from the hospital.

When he is fully recovered, Wyclef Jean plans to return to Haiti to help the rebuilding process, after the nation was rocked by a 7.0 earthquake in January.
