Buju Banton Arrested

13 Dec

According to various news sources (Jamaica Gleaner, Miami Herald and Jamaica Observer) have confirmed that Buju Banton was arrested in Florida and is being held on drug possesion with intent to distribute. Details of his arrest have not been release and neither has an official statement from his management.

This comes a complete surprise and seems totally left field for the Rasta, seeing that he was on a successful tour for his Rasta Got Soul album and was recently nominated for a Grammy this week. Either way this is not a good situation for him, his family and Dancehall and Reggae music. I’ll refrain from commenting on this one until all the details are released.

Here’s a link to the latest on Buju’s situation
