Flooded with offers and opportunities in the wake of their multi-platinum opus, the group began to fracture. Wyclef began recording The Carnival, supported—both emotionally and creatively—by Pras and Lauryn, who both make guest appearances. But when Lauryn started writing songs for her own solo debut, Wyclef gave her the cold shoulder, a stinging rebuke in the wake of the many solo opportunities Lauryn had spurned in solidarity with her group. The dynamic was made all the more awkward by their clandestine romance, despite his marriage to another woman, and later, Lauryn’s with Bob Marley’s son Rohan. And when the birth of Lauryn’s first child became embroiled in a paternity scandal, the fracture became a fissure, ending hopes of a prompt reconciliation.

Haiti’s refugee crisis, fueled by political unrest and state violence, hit its peak in the early ’90s with the coup d’etat that deposed the democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Haitian-Americans, already callously branded by the CDC in 1982 as one of four groups determined to be "risk factors" for HIV infection (the others being “homosexuals, heroin addicts, and hemophiliacs”), were being repatriated en masse as they fled the violence by boat, and those that made it ashore were detained indefinitely. Many Haitian-Americans understandably kept their ethnicity secret, allowing people to mistake them for Jamaicans or immigrants of other Caribbean nations.
