Wyclef Jean was shot last night in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on the eve of the country's runoff elections.
The singer and one-time candidate was struck in his right hand, and is "doing well," says his rep.
Jean says he briefly stepped out of his car to make a phone call when he heard gunshots and then noticed blood on his shirt and sneakers.
Jean, whose hand was grazed by a bullet, says he doesn't know who the shooter was or whether he was being specifically targeted.
He was taken to a local hospital, and has since been released.
Jean was in country campaigning for another singer/candidate, Michel Martelly.
The final results of the election will not be announced until April 16.
Jean had been a presidential candidate, but a court ruled last year that he was ineligible because he hadn't lived in his homeland for a number of years.
