What do the Fugees mean by "Haitian Sicilian"?

Part of the lyrics from the Fugees' song, How Many Mics, states: Momma always told me "You're one in a million"; Always watch your back, never tangle with Haitian Sicilians.

Regarding the reference to Haitian Sicilians, a contributor on Genius.com explains:

Stereotypically, Haitians and Sicilians are often involved in Mafia-like organized crime, which is prevalent in New York. Wyclef refuses to go down that road, thus remaining free to pursue his life without the mafia's interference.

Another contributor posted:

The line is "Haitian-Sicilians." It is a jab at African Americans (Haitians being black) who try to emulate mafioso gangster types. Sicily is the origin of the mobsters who immigrated to the USA.

How Many Mics appeared on The Score, the Fugees’ multi-platinum 1996 album. The song criticizes hip-hop culture and the personas rappers take on to become tougher in the album, along with many of the others on it. 1997 was the year of "The Score", which was both critical and commercial successful with over 22 million copies sold worldwide and it won Best Rap Album from Grammy in 1997 (Billboard, 1997).

The music of Haitian-American artist Wyclef Jean often speaks of identity, struggle, and resilience. All the while, by mentioning "Haitian Sicilians," it may have subtly highlighted duality of cultures and antagonisms between the real and imitation wrack in hip-hop. The Fugees have often used their platform in debating social evils, as their hybrid reggae, soul, and hip-hop punditry defined the genre (2019: Riches).

J. Period mentioned that a conversation he had with Wyclef inspired some of the rapper’s lyrics for this song. According to Wyclef in an interview, his personal experiences informed his songwriting, allowing hope to creep into his introspective and socially aware lyrics (HipHopDX, 2017).
