It's being alleged that reggae singer/DJ Buju Banton has been arrested and charged with conspiracy to purchase cocaine from the US DEA. There have been widespread concerns and emotional talks all over the airwaves both in Jamaica and on the US/Jamaican stations in the US and these are all pointing to surprises, setups/entrapment but there is little being said about Buju probable genuine involvement.
Over the years, with Buju rise to stardom, people have become emotionally attached to this and many other artists and have painted pictures of them being role models and removed from errors. With this preview in mind, one can deduce that many are of the opinion that if someone become famous/rich/stars, not caring about the method, they are automatically transformed into role models or practically saints. One has to realize though that most of these stars are sometimes below average educational backgrounds with little or no analytical skills . We, however, all want to convince ourselves that they all should know/do better although their whole lives have been surrounded with lean ethical and moral values. We have to wake up and look at the problem in its entirety and if we have nothing of substance to add to drama, please wait until more information is brought to the forefront before coming to any conclusion.

Will Buju be out on bail anytime soon?
ReplyDeleteNow that Buju has been sentenced, I hope time will allow him to reflect on his past and instead of pointing fingers, make effort in determining where he went wrong and effect corrections in his thinking. I am sure that Buju understands that he is not only liked by many but also a great influence on the young. With that burden, all his doings should be preceded by careful thought processing and if needed remove of all contents that have consequences of ill effects.
ReplyDeleteStay positive and Jah will see you through.
