Former Haiti President Michel 'Sweet Micky' Martelly to perform in Pembroke Pines.

For the third time, Haiti has missed a deadline for its delayed presidential election runoff.

While Haiti is facing intense political pressure to get a president in office by May. 14, the island-nation's most recent president, Michel Martelly, seems to have moved on from the political spotlight  and back into the entertainment spotlight.

Before being elected president of Haiti in 2011, he was better known as  “Sweet Micky” --a Haitian musical superstar who wore wigs and had a penchant for dropping his pants during performances.

During his tenure in office, people saw hints of Sweet Micky, an identity he never really fully separated from.

And now that he’s no longer in office, he is back to being Sweet Micky--the pop star and self-proclaimed “president of kompa”

In May, Sweet Mickey will be in South Florida to perform at Cafe Iguana, a popular club in Pembroke Pines.

In fliers announcing the event, it’s being called a welcome back party. “The president of kompa is back,” it reads.
