Wyclef Feels the Pinch

Posted Nov 21st 2008 2:50PM by TMZ Staff

It's curtains for a Miami house owned by Wyclef Jean's company -- and it's not even built yet.

The as-yet-unfinished manse is going to be sold off by Miami-Dade county Dec. 12 because Wy -- through a company he set up with friends -- has yet to pay back over $2 mil he owes on the mortgage. The house went into FC City in March.

And it wasn't just the mortgage that wasn't paid -- court docs show there were plenty of people working on the house that haven't gotten paid either.

Wyclef didn't immediately comment.

8. I read a article last week that they were investigating his charity, trying
to find where the money was going and what it was being used for.
They mentioned some of the big stars that donated to it, such
as Angelina and Brad. Makes you wonder.
