Haiti's biggest celebrity, Wyclef Jean, has made the necessary steps toward running for president of his home country, but has reportedly not made a decision if he will campaign for the job.

According to Reuters, Jean took the legal steps while in Haiti on Thursday (July 29), where he worked with lawyers and had his fingerprints taken by the judicial police as part of the legal process of preparing to run for president.

The hip-hop artist says he's qualified to run for Haiti's highest office.

"I basically come out to Haiti today because it was important that I do my fingerprints," Jean told the news service.

"There are a lot of rumors that I am running for president. I have not declared that," he added. "If we decide to move forward, I am pretty sure that we have all our paperwork straight."

Haiti is scheduled to vote to elect a new leader to replace President Rene Preval, whose term ends in February, on November 28.

The deadline for candidates to register, and if Wyclef would run, would be August 7.

Sources close to the musician told Reuters that Jean will officially announce his candidacy next week on CNN before flying back to Haiti to enter the race.

Jean, however, has not confirmed or denied the rumors.

Hs says he plans to discuss his decision with his Claudinette and their daughter Angelina. "As a family, we must decide on what we're going to do because it is a big sacrifice," he said.

Jean immigrated to the United States at the age of 9, but has maintained his Haitian citizenship. In the U.S., he became a multi-platinum hip-hop artist as a member of the Fugees in the 1990s, before launching a successful solo career.
