Buju Banton is a Rasta in a deep hole
Since Sunday, since Jamaica's international reggae artiste Buju Banton's arrest by the DEA for involvement in a cocaine drug deal, speculation has been rife. Given his run in with the homosexual community, some wondered if it was a set up by members of the community. Other persons are simply in shocked that Banton could be mixed up with cocaine and not marijuana(weed).
The interesting thing is, according to DEA someone tipped them off about the Buju's interest in purchasing the 'stuff'. According to the Gleaner they have the tape and another newspaper expounds on how Buju and his co-accused got caught.
The interesting thing about this was a few years ago he did a song "Driva" that ironically seem to be about drug running and the Driver was told to deliver a package and not to stop at all. This time the 'Driva' got caught.
For those who have read the affidavit related to another case in Jamaica there is a interesting similarity. In both case the prime witness or bait is player in the drug running that is caught and then used to catch the others.
There is no way I support the use or sale of cocaine as it destroys lives. This case will be interesting.
The full story might never be heard but based on what I read if the affidavit if it true, only time will tell. However, one thing is sure it will not be an easy road and this rasta that got soul is now a rasta in a deep hole.
