Trying to run for President of Haiti and feuding with Sean Penn can be really tiring.

The musician has checked into a New Jersey hospital as a result of major stress and fatigue.

“Wyclef Jean has had an extremely grueling three months – truly an exhausting eight months, since the earthquake when he recommitted himself to our homeland and his passion for our people,” his family said in a statement. “He 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. Then he will be back out in front of the crusade to rebuild Haiti and his pledge to make it even better for business.”

Hopefully (wait for it….), the singer will be back by November.
