He tweeted “Martin Luther King Fought Because All Lives Matter” with a video clip of his upcoming EP “J’ouvert.”

However the tweet drew a lot of response and he deleted it within three hours! Below are just a few of those responses.

Still chuckling at Wyclef putting Martin Luther King Jr & “All Lives Matter” in the same sentence.

@wyclef all lives do matter, but saying that before you recognize black lives matter makes you a sell out.

@wyclef it’s odd that u would use footage from an action in support of the Movement 4 Black Lives for a tone deaf, ridiculous, ALM…thing

Wyclef came out and posted the following;

I appreciate all of your passion. But my message was definitely misunderstood. Here’s a recent interview that clarifies my stance… pic.twitter.com/1lNJutKPK3

In the linked interview he says “The reason why Black Lives Matter is that you can’t keep executing Black people in broad daylight and it is on video and you get away with it,” he says in the clip. “That is why Black Lives Matter. It’s the same thing if you got back to it when they were lynching. … We are not saying that white lives don’t matter. … Only idiots would be saying ‘Why do Black lives matter?’”
