Rasta Got Soul reggae singer Buju Banton pleaded not guilty to cocaine charge in federal court today (January 7) Florida.
The 36-year-old reggae star, born Mark Myrie - lawyer David Markus did not seek bail for his client as it wouldn't make much of a difference if he's bonded out of jail. Immigration officials would still hold the Gargamel captive.
According to Buju's lawyer David Markus, there is no need to seek a deal because his client is innocent of the charge.
This means Buju Banton will definitely not be able to attend the Grammy Awards on January 31 for which his Ratsa Got Soul album was nominated in the category of Best Reggae Album

whether or not he is involved in these dealings i wont bash him because when ur a business man u see these things as just another business venture. JR, wats greed really? dont tell me that if u have $1 million u wont be thinkin of a way to make it 2. and also if u have a negative feeling toward the situation why say anything at all. incase u havent really thought about it, more than likely buju wont even see any of this

"Strange this feeling im feeling

till shiloh we chant Rastafari his name".

I am disappointed with these charges. I've been a fan forever, but Buju should have realized that he was getting bashed from gay rights group and should have taken more caution in his U.S activities. I am convinced that he was set up and he took the fall because he wasn't vigilant. Anyway all the best with this. Like everything else, this too will soon pass. Forever fan...
Blessings
