Last night, Sean "Diddy" Combs was among the celebrities that helped raise an estimated $5 million for the Red Cross and UNICEF on Larry King's two-hour CNN special 'Haiti: How Can You Help.' Diddy commended fellow hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean and his Haitian charity, the Yele Haiti Foundation, for raising more than $1 million in relief funds for the country, despite the recent allegations by the Smoking Gun that suggested Wyclef profited more from the charity than anyone else.
"I think Wyclef should run for president of Haiti after this," Diddy boldly stated. "What he's done, the way he's put himself out there is truly commendable. I just pray for the people of Haiti."
"Haiti for me is such an inspirational country," Diddy told King. "They were the first people to take back their freedom, the first people to say that we will not be slaves anymore. So growing up, the Haitian people to me were always that people I looked up to, because of their fight, the way they fought for their freedom."
