The moment Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean dropped the Land Rover CEO on his head after carrying him on his shoulders at a rowdy after-party was captured on video.
Jean, 52, on Tuesday attended the Range Rover Leadership Summit after-party – an event where Jaguar Land Rover North America announced its new products. He was hired as entertainment for the Tuesday event.
In a video obtained by TMZ, shows CEO and President of Jaguar Land Rover North America Joe Eberhardt, 56, sitting on Jean’s shoulders.
It is unclear why the luxury car CEO climbed onto the rapper’s shoulders, but Eberhardt excitedly smiled once settled there.
Jean, wearing an orange sweater and white sunglasses, is seen in the video standing calmly with Eberhardt on his shoulders, arms spread wide and holding onto the CEO’s wrists. He spins around, showing off his strength, then seems to lose his balance, and he and Eberhardt fall to the floor.

Jean is best known for being a part of the hip-hop group the Fugees, which formed in the early 1990s, short for ‘refugees.’ The American group hit it big with the release of its second album, The Score, which sold 22million copies, making it the current best selling hip-hop album ever. The band has not performed together in about 15 years.
Eberhardt became the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America in 2013. The British company’s brand is popular among the world’s richest, such as Kylie Jenner.
