In case you're not familiar, AMA stands for "ask me anything." Reddit users can submit questions for their favorite celebrities to answer, like this AMA with Stephen Hawking. It's often a great opportunity for stars to connect with fans in a unique and personal way.

But it looks like the AMA took a turn for the worse. Now when you check it out on Reddit, Wyclef's user account appears to have been deleted.
Now, the AMA page is just a thread of unanswered questions directed at Wyclef. 

Here's a look. Many of the questions were about Wyclef's failed charity,Yéle, which previously made headlines for allegations of fraud

And another one. In 2011, the New York Post reported that only $5.1 million the $16 million Yéle raised for earthquake relief efforts in Haiti actually went towards its intended cause. Amidst this controversy, Yéle closed its door in 2012.

Not all of the questions were negative, but it looks like Wyclef decided to go ahead and delete his account anyway.
