What happened
In February 2016, Wyclef Jean did an AMA tied to the 20th anniversary of The Score, but Redditors flooded it with questions about his defunct Yele Haiti charity, which took in millions after the 2010 earthquake amid allegations of mismanagement. He answered only a handful of questions and the session collapsed.
