Wyclef Jean, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne announce new Haiti appeal show

Fugees may also reform and record charity single

Wyclef Jean, Lil Wayne, Mary J. Blige and Sean 'Diddy' Combs have announced plans for another Haiti concert.

They will join a host of hip-hop acts including Pharrell Williams, Chris Brown and Queen Latifah at the Black Entertainment TV (BET) two hour event 'SOS Saving OurSelves - Help for Haiti', which will be broadcast live from Miami on February 5.

The event will air on US TV channels MTV, VH1, BET and Centric at 8pm EST.

Meanwhile, Jean has hinted that his former band Fugees may reform and record a charity single to raise money for the victims of the earthquake.

The group, which featured the rapper, his Haitian cousin Pras Michel and Lauryn Hill, split up in 1997.

He told BBC Radio 1Xtra: "Everyone is doing different relief and when the time is right, the vibe is right, The Fugees should definitely contribute a single to go into Yele Haiti (Wyclef Jean's charity). I think it would raise a lot of money."

The rapper helped actor George Clooney organise the previous 'Hope For Haiti Now' telethon and gig, which took place earlier this month. It has so far raised $66m (£42.1m), reports BBC News.
