Buju Banton Update – Direct From Prison
Dancehall.Mobi special update – since his arrest and indictment on federal drug charges in Florida recently, Buju Banton’s Gargamel Music record label has not issued an official statement, however Tracii McGregor (President of Gargamel Music) sent us this update today:
I went in to see Buju Banton yesterday. He is holding firm. Our focus has been sourcing out the best attorney or team of attorneys to handle the case. Below is a partial list of some attorneys I have personally met with so far.
Frank Rubino
David Oscar Markus
Leonard Sands
Nathan Diamond
Jason Grey
Mark Panunzio
We are very close to making a final decision, and hopefully will be prepared to make that announcement next week or just after the holidays.
Buju sends much love to family, friends and fans across the world who have shown their support.
Bless …
keep on holding firm Banton blessing from new York
Thanks for the update, Buju keep holding the faith,
Tracii please make a note;
Please contact the NAACP and facilitate their resources.
I have a close bredren who was arrested in america and the NAACP financed his legal defense to great benefit.
They are aware of Bujus case, and can help with legal proceedings and to assist with media, which is very important at this stage considering he just got nominated for the Grammy.

the good lord who sits hight still looks down low ,you get what you deserve they shoud lock you up and through away the key ,you are a intertainer you make enought money on stage why you selling drugs in the street ,you 2 damn greedy showing off your selfe you do the crime you must do the time
BLESS UP YU SELF RASTA BUJU; MEN A FIGHT RASTA LONG TIME AND DEM FI KNOW SEH InI ISTHE EYE´S OF THE PEOPLE;AND JAH IS THE MASTER SO ALL EYE WILL SEE;be STrong AND HAVE FAITH IN JAH:
Drugs is a very evil thing not only does it pay a lot of money but it carries a status and hype with it, and because of this ,even when black people are as successful like Buju they still want a part of that hype life . It is stupid and I hope some of us will learn from this. Drugs is not a black thing it is a bad and evil spirit. Let us be honest when we asking this question: what is a man like Buju , with all his status and money doing with drugs? Also that “play-play” amount of drugs, it shows that he has very little ambition and a very stupid man. Kings of the earth come to u sense and stop acting stupid!!!!
Anyway having said all that I will continue to pray for you and send positive vibes to keep you going through this time.
