Wyclef Jean next to Rhymefest is also one of the most serious political figures on this list. The rapper was set to run for President of his country, Haiti, and has long been an activist in his homeland gathering money for all the natural disasters that take place in the suffering country. Wyclef’s Yele Haiti fund raised over 416 million dollars for the earthquake that hit the country back in 2010.
